Scraps and Straps: Zippers, Buttons, and Darts Oh My!
http://scrapsandstraps.blogspot.com/2012/09/zippers-buttons-and-darts-oh-my.html
Tuesday, September 18, 2012. Zippers, Buttons, and Darts Oh My! Yesterday marked the second session in my 4 week sewing course. If you missed my post on the first class, Machine Basics, you can find it HERE! This week's class was called Sewing Essentials. And was a little more information overload than last week. And also a much smaller group, so easier to learn and ask plenty of questions. I was glad we were going over this because as much as I think I can I think I can, I never can. When that is ready,...

Thursday, October 25, 2012. How Pinterest Ideas Run My Life. I could spend my life looking at all these cute blogs and great ideas to get me motivated, but the truth is I'm not great at following through. Anyways, for the record, I am following through with something I found on Pinterest! I don't know if I can link directly to Pinterest since you have to have an account to open it up, but this is the one I'm working on. T-Shirt Quilt Tutorial. My #2 Pinterest project is a 5 year journal. It's a super cut...

Scraps and Straps: July 2012
http://scrapsandstraps.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 26, 2012. Since before we moved to Portland I have been looking forward to living in the land where crafts and handmade stuff is embraced to the max. It took a few months to get settled here but was finally feeling ready to jump into a (small) craft show. I started looking for something in my area, but turns out I was a little late. This is the one I really wanted to start with. close to home, short, easy enough for a little crafter like me. Bad news for me, the event was full. Sad. I ende...

http://scrapsandstraps.blogspot.com/2012/10/memory-calendar.html
Tuesday, October 30, 2012. Just came across another great journal/calendar idea. Http:/ christyrobbins.blogspot.com/2012/10/day-to-day-baby-memory-calendar.html.

Wednesday, October 31, 2012. DIY Owl Zipper Pouch. Here is my latest creation, its a mini version of THIS. I used a 4 inch brown zipper and one piece of 4" x 7" heavyweight home decor Owl print fabric. You can use any fabric, this is a great way to use up your fabric scraps. Follow the step by step pictures on the tutorial. And you can't go wrong! Adjust the size of your fabric/zipper according to what you want to put in your pouch. I use mine for change/cash and my chapstick. A few must haves for me.

http://scrapsandstraps.blogspot.com/2012/09/machine-basics-check.html
Monday, September 10, 2012. Machine Basics - Check! Thank you PDX Seamsters. For my first official sewing machine education course. Everything I knew up until yesterday, I taught myself. I'm doing SOMEthing right because I can do a lot of things in the sewing world that I never could before. I can cut fabric properly, press projects, sew in a straight line, read patterns, all foreign to me just a year or two ago. We made circles (harder than it looks), turned corners, made a labyrinth, and a mini pillow ...
