Infinity Scarf

These scarves are really easy to make. I started with a strip of fabric 63''x22'', but you can adjust the length and width depending on what you like.
Next, I folded the fabric (right sides together) so that it was 63''x11''.
Sew along the edge of the long side starting and stopping about 2'' from each edge. This will leave room to sew up the short edges.
Then, turn the tube right side out. Match up the short sides, and sew them together.

This will leave you with a 4'' wide hole that you just stitch up by hand. And your infinity scarf is done!!I made this one in flannel, but I also made a fleece one in charcoal gray.

Gift Card Holders


A few years ago I got a gift card from Antropologie and it came with a cute little holder. I have wanted to make my own ever since. Its also a good way to use any scrap fabric you have lying around. Here is my original inspiration.


These are the different variations I came up with:






They make giving and receiving gift cards a little more exciting. :)

Apron

I made this apron from a pattern that I bought and I only changed the way the bib ties in the back. Instead of having the ties attach to the back of the waistband, I just tied them together creating a halter.

I am also working on an apron with just the skirt. Soon to come!

Quilt #3

I made this quilt for my college roommate! Instead of using just two fabrics, I used several and arranged them randomly. I also made this one 6x9 like my previous quilts instead of 7x8 like the pattern instructs.

Coral Striped Dress

For this dress, I used a pattern I already had to make the top and just made an A-line skirt for the bottom half. I didn't have enough fabric to make it as long as I wanted so I used some of the extra lining material to make a solid band around the bottom.

More Headbands...

K so technically these involve no sewing, but they are still cute and crafty so they deserve a post. The headbands are just generic target finds, but I used some felt, beads, lace, and anything else I found around the house to embellish them. A little hot glue and I have 2 headbands for super cheap.This one is actually purple but it is difficult to see in the picture.


For this one, I cut a flower shape progressively smaller and stacked them on top of each other.

Leather Clutch

I made this leather clutch purse for my friend for Christmas. I used a pattern I had lying around, but excluded the strap and a button detail.
