Sewing

06 Jun

Finna goes to bed around seven or seven thirty and I decided to take advantage of the evening to get some sewing done. Nothing truly exciting, just some quick and easy burp cloth embellishments. Cupcakes:

Beatrix Potter Soft Alphabet Book

13 Aug

When I lived in Michigan, on each trip to Illinois I liked to visit some fabric shops with Mom Sullivan. On one of those excursions I found a Beatrix Potter alphabet panel for sewing into a book.

Homemade Christmas: Stockings

08 Dec

Brendan and I had large stockings that I made for our first Christmas together that were definitely sewn while I was a novice (i.e. they aren’t lined and not very nice looking).  I’ve wanted to sew some new ones for a while, and Brendan and I wanted to go with smaller stockings since we usually fill our stockings with candy and we don’t need sacks full of candy. So I drafted a pattern and sewed these:

Happy Father’s Day!

19 Jun

I did some sewing for my dear Dad Knapp. He likes to sit in his easy chair with a large Coke and watch sports. Therefore, I sewed up a set of coasters that feature four popular athletic balls (football, soccer, baseball, and basketball) on one side and gray with scarlet “writing” on the other. The scarlet and gray coordinate with the living room and, more importantly, they are the colors for Ohio State University.

Lee Love

27 Feb

I made Angry Birds for Lee for Christmas along with a promise to make more of the characters. Unfortunately, I hadn’t been able to locate the proper shades of green fleece for the pigs. Darling Mom Sullivan to the rescue! She sent me some green fleece and matching threads. Here are the results:

Lee, I love you, and your pigs are on their way!

Love,

Tiff

Pajama Pants

22 Feb

While out shopping at Wal-Mart, I saw a queen sized 200 thread-count flat sheet on sale for $5. Score! That’s a nice piece of yardage. I figured it would make a great quilt backing (I’ve used flat sheets for three quilts so far).

However, once I got it home, I decided to make pajama pants.

The pants are a simple drawstring, pale yellow, and oh-so comfy! I’ll have to make a matching top (I have plenty of fabric left).

Love,

Tiff

Butterfly Block

11 Feb

More playing in the sewing room with my fabric stash. I just wanted to try out some more foundation piecing from my Quilter’s Ark book.

I still need to embroider some legs and antennae. The pretty blue fabrics are from my friend Misty in TN.

Love,

Tiff
