I LOVE a Good Deal- Part 2!!!
July 9, 2009
Just a quick continuation of a previous post, as I have six additional yards in my ever growing stash!
The $4 a yard sale has since ended, however I received an insider tip (by the way thank you Suzanne!) that Sandi Henderson Farmer's Market prints will soon be on sale.
On a similar note, Monday I came home to a very special package in the mail (from Australia!),
a pack of 32 Shadow Play fat quarters from Maywood Studio. With that said, I would like to thank Di Mill so very much!!!

Handmade Details!
June 28, 2009
I can't tell you how happy and pleased I am to debut my original sewing tags!!! By means of the Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day, I found Kristel in the Netherlands that carves personalized rubber stamps (send her a photograph and she'll carve your face).I ordered the stamp with one project in mind...sewing labels, the perfect handmade detail!
After some stamping, scanning, printing, and test runs with natural cotton twill tape (not good!), I ended up with the final product (see below).
Diaper/Wipes Pouch
The diapers/wipe pouch for the upcoming baby shower is complete! Woo hoo! It probably took me +/- 4 hours to complete both projects (granted I'm a bit slow as everything must be PERFECT!). All in all, I'm very happy with the outcome!

I made some slight adjustments to the pattern as I added interfacing, made a fabric handle (rather than ribbon which the pattern called for), and made some adjustments to the unsightly velcro. I hope it's a hit! :)

I have to give props to my mom, as she found Strawberry Patches' awesome $4 a yard sale! Unfortunately I didn't get all of the Amy Butler prints I wanted (very limited supply- thus the crazy sale!). However I'm super excited to start my stash with the Amy Butler and Sandi Henderson prints I did get! :)

My loot consists of the top three fabrics, and my mom's loot are the bottom three! Not to shabby, if I say so myself!!!

I'm Ready to Sew Again
June 25, 2009
As of yesterday at about 11am, I am officially done with my crafting hiatus! Woo hoo!!! I sat for one of my architecture licensing tests, and feel good about the outcome, so hopefully the mailman will be the bearer of good news (+/- 4 weeks from now).First on my sewing 'to do list' is to make sewing tags (stay tuned for a photo), as well as the diaper/wipes case as the baby shower is fast approaching...so much to do and so little time! ;o)
