Here are some of the Koolaid Jammer purses I made. They were fun to make and always caused comments when you used one. I lined them all with bright solid colors. Sold them when I went to craft shows.

The top picture is the back of the jacket made out of 3 prs. of recycled bluejeans, really tan ones. Used the pockets off the jeans, and embroideried a floral design on areas of jacket. Next one is the front. Used pockets again, and used belt loops around buttonholes.

The bottom 2 are the apron I just made. It is all lined with another print, should have flipped up the ruffle to show it.

My camera isn't working very good today, or it may be me. Just noticed how crooked she is!!! Leaning to the left. This is the outfit that I just made this last week, hemmed it yesterday. It was the first time, I made that pattern. Has the bonnet, dress and pantaloons. Am trying to do them in appropriate prints for that period.

Here is the denim shirt that I machine embroidered on Tues. for a BB gift. Lori is a beautician. I have so much fun going thru my designs and choosing just that right one for everyones gifts. She wears a denim shirt over her clothes when she cuts hair. Was very happy with shirt.

Thought that I would post two of the projects that I have made with my Embellisher. It has 7 barbed needles that mesh wool roving or ribbons or material into the bottom material. It doesn't use any thread. It's a fun machine, and I must do more things with it.

The top picture is a wool scarf that I made with the wool roving flowers on the ends, and then I cut out some of the material. The color of the scarf isn't tan as the picture, but is grey.

The bottom picture is a denim shirt that I just added the sunflowers onto it. Just by blending the different shades of roving.

I've been blessed to be just a small part of knowing a set of triplets. My friend's daughter had triplet boys. For their first Halloween she wanted to dress as 3 peas in a pod. Guess what! I got to make the costume. Made 3 sleepers out of green fleece, and a large pod that they were propped up in. It turned out perfect for them. They are all doing great. Had to share a pic.

These are 3 kitchen items that I made in a class using my serger. The apron is lined. We learned how to make the bias tape, and how to ruffle all with the serger. The casserole carrier was also made with serger. The kitchen towel was already made, but we added the top, and also did the crocheting on the bottom with the serger. First time I ever crocheted with the serger and boy is it fast. Was super fun. A neat way to add to pillowcases and such. Much faster than doing it by hand, and it didn't make my wrists hurt.

Here is a machine embroidery that I did on a shirt. I went to a couple of craft shows a couple of years ago, but it was too much lifting and carrying things. Maybe I'll do it again with AG doll clothes, but for now I'm happy just sewing for me.

European Pattern Outfit

This was an outfit I made for a little gal down in Florida. She loves twirly skirts. It is an European pattern. It was the first one that I had ever made. After I made the first one it was easy.but very different than any other pattern I had ever made. I sewed most of it on my serger. Went together very fast.

I made this apron and chef's hat for a friends GD that is six years old. Her name is Molly also.She loves her AG doll, so I made her a set for her doll. She got a kitchen set and also loves to help her Mom cook. I don't have the real AG doll, but have a Walmart look alike. It gives me a doll to try on the clothes that I make. It keeps me out of trouble in my retirement.

2009

The new year is here and flying by as I write. I kind of forgot about starting this blog back last fall. I had a knee replacement and am starting out anew this year. Trying to get healthy again, just want to keep up with my knee that no longer hurts. I am trying to exercise every day, and am watching what I eat. Have to get some of these extra pounds off for good. I'm still sewing almost every day. Just made some p.j.'s for a client that I used to work with. She needs 1 piece jammies with zipper in back. Special needs gal who is a sweetie.. Earlier this fall I made her a jacket with velcro closing, hat and special mittens that are thumbless and are kept on with velcro. Also made a blanket to put over her legs when she sits in her wheelchair in the bus as she has a rides to and from day services. Made them out out of fleece. I always forget to take pictures of things before they are picked up.
