Me Made May - Week in Review


 I decided to join Me Made May '15 and it has been such fun. If you are not familiar, the challenge was created by blogger So Zo as a way to wear our hand made creations.  You can read more about it here.

It has been a great way to see what items I am missing in my wardrobe and there are definitely some holes.

The outfit above includes a blouse from New Look 6895 with a beautiful cotton lawn.
The sweater coat is a design for Sew News you can find here.
The purse is a pattern in the works - the Marcia Bag. I love the typewriter fabric from Melody Miller!
Necklace is a Sterling Silver Carnelian Branch necklace.

The blouse above is a free pattern from Martha Stewart.  You can find the pattern and tutorial here.
The "Shopper Purse" is from the lovely gathered purse trio.



We had a couple days of warm weather last week so I dusted off my swing tank!  Pattern is in the queue : )
The Ruffle Clutch was designed for the Liberty Craft Blog.  You can find the pattern and tutorial here.


Happy Sewing!

Mother's Day Gifts To Stitch!






Mothers day is just around the corner - May 11th to be exact : )
Which means you still have time to make a gift for your mom.
This post is dedicated to some lovely projects to make if you are in need of
some ideas for Mother's Day gift giving!  
All links are provided below.



Hot Pads are a useful and fun gift if your mom likes to cook.
I created the round potholder from a few block patterns in my Etsy shop but you can just as easily use an orphaned quilt block and reuse a project that has been in your stash!
You can find the tutorial [HERE].

The apple potholder is a fun gift.  It us a perfect project to use some favorite scraps.
It would also be lovely in Granny Apple Green, Pink Lady Pink or Golden Delicious Yellow!



A tote bag is always a fun and useful gift!  My tulip tote is perfect for this time of year!  You can find the pattern for the tulip block and tote bag [here].
If you are looking for a simpler tote bag to adorn with the tulip, you can find some free tutorials Here, Here and another Here.



Another simple and fun project is my Ruffled Clutch I designed for Liberty Craft Blog.
Wouldn't it be lovely in natural linen too?



A frame pouch is always a useful gift.  I made the apple pouch with my free apple paper pieced pattern you can find [here].  The tutorial for the frame pouch can be found [here].
Fill it with some sweets or sewing notions!



Or use the pattern to make coasters.....



or hot pads!



There is nothing as lovely as lavender sachets for your clothing bureau.  You can find the pattern for my house sachets here.



A pretty cushion is always a welcome gift.  I seem to not have enough in my house : )
This one is made with my Rose Dream pattern you can find [here].




And this one is made with the Crown of Thorns pattern you can find [here].



Happy Creating!
