Purple Bag

here is a bag from the Missouri Star Quilt Co, I made using five inch charms, I used the Lovely Charm Pack, I love the colors in the charm pack.  I used nine charms and made the back with just plain fabric and did not use charms on the back. The back is a purple fabric.
The bag is 13X15 inches. Go to youtube and type in Missouri Star Quilt Co to see a video on how to make this bag, I channel quilted it by machine.

Tilton Tee

Here is a t-shirt I made using Vogue 8793.
I purchased and  followed a Craftsy course to construct the tee with the Tilton sisters,
Katherine and Marcy.
I had a problem with the neckband wanting to roll away from the body, and I see on Craftsy photos others have done, I am not the only one. Too fix this I just turned the neckband to the inside and stitched it down close to the original stitch line. Now it looks like black piping added to the neckband.  My black fabric did not have enough stretch in it to stretch it onto the neck.  I will also go down a couple of sizes next time as this is a bit big for me, I did take it in but still too big. I like the different fabric for the sleeves that the sisters used for this tee. This tee also had hip "wings" that I sewed out and will cut the pattern straight to get rid of the 'wings' next time. My hips are 6 inches smaller than my bust or waist, so I don't need hip wings.

Skinny Bitch and Curvy Chick patterns

Here is a free pattern I downloaded through Pattern Review. I made this using black knit and made it as per the pattern, with no alterations. This fits me very well.

Charm Pack Skirt

A skirt I made for my 5 YO Granddaughter, it was made using a charm pack.
Which are 6x6 pieces of fabric. I made two rows than added two bands of 4 inch fabric
for the waist and bottom hem.

This is a quilted table cover I made using quilted fabric, I just cut a rectangle and turned up one edge to form pockets to hold sewing stuff like measuring tape, sewing feet, rulers and scissors. I serged all the edges of this. I cut a strip of fabric the size of my sewing machine to make a cover, I serged the edges of this too and sewed on ribbons for ties to tie it on the machine. As you can see, I used leftover fabric that I had made the cutting table skirt  from.

Sure Fit Designs sweatshirt and skirt I made for my 5 YO DGD. I used the dot 22 again for the sweatshirt as I did for the skirt.

 I made a skirt for my 5 YO DGD. I used Sure-Fit Designs pattern from the Childrens Kit.

She picked the fabric from my stash, she loved it and wore it all day.

I made an A-line skirt  and added an  elastic waist, very simple. Also stitched a row of fancy stitches built into my machine on the hem. Used a linen blend fabric.

Red Robe

This is a Sure Fit Designs pattern from the Children's Kit. I measured my 4 Y.O. Granddaughter and traced off a robe pattern for her. This is the result, it is fleece fabric with embossed teddy bears on it.  I am very pleased with it, this is my first Sure Fit pattern. She lives a distance from me, so may not get a photo of her wearing it. It has yokes both front and back.

Petite Plus Top

Petite Plus Patterns -  I used the Short Sleeve Shell without any alterations.  I also want to make this pattern with long sleeves,  PP has a pattern to lengthen the short sleeves on the website. I have lost part of this pattern and the instructions, so I made new facings for the neck and winged the sewing order. I didn't have any problems putting this together, even without the instruction sheet or the facings. This will be my new go to pattern for tees.
