Pear Pincushion

I made this pear pincushion for in my cousin's sewing box.  It turned out to be a prickly pear if you will.

It is cute and easy to make.  Head on over to the Sew What? page of this blog for more details.  Check it out!

Altered Cigar Box into a Sewing Kit

I posted on the Crafty Corner page a super cute sewing kit I made from altering a cigar box.  I used scrapbook paper and some other things and created a very nice very practical gift for a new bride starting out her new married life.

If you are looking for gift ideas this is one that is easy to do, and almost guaranteed not to be a duplicate gift then this is it!  I tried to think back to when I was a new bride and what I had that I did not use, and what I needed and did not have.  A sewing kit was one of the things that I needed but did not have.  Who thinks of sewing stuff??!!  I do hope that this comes in handy for her and one day she will look back as she is reaching into it for a needle and thread and say 'Hey this was a pretty cool gift!  Very handy!'  :o)  An old cigar box turned into a cute sewing box.  Go check it out!

Another New Page Added

I added another new page to this blog.  This one called Sew What?.  There I will be showcasing the items that I sew.  Sometimes there will be a tutorial on how to make something.  Some things that are easily reproduced such as bags, aprons, and pin cushions can be ordered.  If you are interested in anything leave me a comment and I will get you prices etc.

The first entry in the Sew What page is a retro apron I made for my cousin's bridal shower.  It is reversible and made in a retro design.  I have other apron pics to post, and will do that soon.  If you are interested in buying an apron from me let me know!  In the mean time check out Sew What? page!
