Been a while but I have been a busy sewing bee! I have some on Disney stuff to add and some Disney stuff.
First up, the Not Disney stuff:
A friend that I work with just found out she is going to be a grandma. She asked me to make her daughter a blanket. I love making baby stuff...so this is what I did. But of coarse I heard her say "blankets", not blanket! LOL
Receiving blankets: They are about 36"X38" completed size and so easy since they are self binding! Once I had the fabric all cut to size, sew time was about 20 minutes per receiving blanket. So easy!
And then I made burp cloths from the left over flannel from all the receiving blankets. I was able to piece together enough fabric to make 5 of these in different patterns...
They are about 14" long and widest part is about 8" and slimmest part where it lays over your shoulder is about 6" completed. I just made up my own pattern for these. Sew time was maybe about 25 minutes total and that is only because of the added time to press before adding the top stitch once they are turned.
And then the quilt which I really liked alot: The back was Fleece and the front was cotton: the girl that is having the baby wants to do her nursery in Jungle theme.
Next up are 4 quilts that I made Have made. 1 for my Neice to take to football games with her, 2 for my sisters for Christmas, and 1 for a "prize" for a contest we did where I work:
First, the stadium blanket: With the left over flannel, I made a shoulder bag for it, so she can easily carry it to games. She is a huge football fan!
The quilt I made for work. It was for Halloween, that's why it's in fall leaves:
The quilt I made my 1st sister: neither of my sisters had their Shams on yet. They both were wanting to buy new pillows to put in them and not use them all the time. I also forgot to get the finished inscription on this one so I included a pic of it before it was actually sewn on. ( I put something on EVERY quilt I make)
The quilt I made my 2nd sister:
And some of the bags I have been making! I even got a printed label made up to put inside of them. =)
First, the nurses bag I made for my sister. She does Home health and had been looking for a bag that she can take into patients homes. She couldn't find exactly what she wanted, so after talking to her, I designed this bag from scratch for her. It was quite the challenge, but I am sooo happy with the results. She loves Minnie and animals and wanted something that was inspired by that, so I came up with this. It has a quilted pocket on the front for her small lap top she uses for work and the back side has a pocket big enough where she can slide patients files in it easily, then inside has 3 compartments and all the sides are lined with pockets. I made small zipper bags that match inside. I think I made her 4 of them for things like needles and sharps that can't be in plain view.
Then for all of my Nieces for Christmas, I made them back pack purses or my small nephews, I made them back pack diaper bags:
