Crafting Projects

       I have been spending a lot of time on foundation sewing knowledge.

Sometimes I just want to hurry up and start drafting and sewing garments,

but I like being super thorough.

Having spent so much time on the computer recently

and not working on too much else I needed to take a hiatus from it 

and worked on a few crafting projects I have been meaning to do.

I made a cute Pokemon beanie for a friend.

Drafting out the pattern I was not sure about the ears,

but I think it turned out awesome.

Here is my very first coin purse!  I made it for one of my sisters.

The pictures are just quick ones that I sent to here when I finished.

I forgot to take better ones to post here.  : x

 

A super cute Magnet Fishing Kit.

Made this for an awesome Mom and dear friend of mine.

Her kids are the most adorable and sweetest!

We moved to another state so I only get to see them once in awhile.

Miss them so much!

I started on making my own dress form last night.
I think a lot of people like the duct tape dress form, 

but I kind of wanted something more sturdy.

I went this girls blog for instructions:

I am starting out at step 3, 

but it because I bought the materials for the stand about a year ago!
I figured I better use the materials I already have before I buy more for the other steps.
Unfortunately, I think she might have listed the wrong size for the t-shaped pieces.  

I am going back to the hardware store for the right sizes.  

Hopefully I will have a an update soon of my finished dress form stand!

I think finishing these little projects really help keep me motivated.
Now it is time to put off the procrastination and get back to my foundation entries. :)
