Sew Busy

I have been sewing like crazy getting ready for a craft fair at the little mall here in town at the end of October. The new house has been great because the basement is only used for laundry so I have taken over the whole downstairs with my craft room. I am loving every minute of it. It is pretty hard on my neck and back though.


My friend Becca has brought her stuff over and set up shop with me. When she gets a chance she comes over and we sit downstairs and sew while the kids play (or bug us). We seem to get more talking than work done when we are together. :D She is a far better seamstress than I am so she has been teaching me a lot. My sewing is getting much much better.


So far we have made messenger bags, tutus, baby blankets and crib sheets, aprons, pillow cases and super hero capes. Here are some of the things I have made....
