Sew What: 1 Hour Skirt--Perfect Project For a Rainy Day
http://mysewwhatblog.blogspot.com/2012/06/1-hour-skirt-perfect-project-for-rainy.html
Costumes, Decorations, etc. Tuesday, June 26, 2012. 1 Hour Skirt- Perfect Project For a Rainy Day. Last night while rummaging through some bins in the basement I located a lime green (you know that lime sherbet color? Jersey sheet. I laundered it and thought I could repurpose this full sized sheet into more than one useful item. This was very easy! I did not get my serger out for this quick project. I used a zig-zag stitch instead. Worked well. I then cut a much wider piece of fabric (doubled) for the sk...

Sew What: Love and Lace--Some Tidbits From the Past
http://mysewwhatblog.blogspot.com/2015/08/love-and-lace-some-tidbits-from-past.html
Costumes, Decorations, etc. Saturday, August 1, 2015. Love and Lace- Some Tidbits From the Past. I also purchased 4 antique postcards, two of which were postmarked 1910. Their beauty attracted me to pick them up but the sentiments in the words written on the back sealed the deal. How could I leave such lovingly written words behind? The answer is quite simple. I couldn't! So they are now mine to treasure! Let's take a closer look. This was the first one I picked up. It was love at first sight! Yes, I lov...

Sew What: Pineapple Pillow -- Recycled Curtains
http://mysewwhatblog.blogspot.com/2012/07/pineapple-pillow-recycled-curtains.html
Costumes, Decorations, etc. Thursday, July 5, 2012. Pineapple Pillow - Recycled Curtains. Never throw out a pair of old curtains if the fabric remains in good condition. The panels can always be used for something. In my case, I began working on a very simple, appliqued throw pillow made with a pair of kitchen curtains I no longer use. I have taken photos of a few of the steps involved for any of you beginner sewing enthusiasts who may want to try a similar project. All pieces are cut. I ironed Wonde...

Use the first bag shape as a pattern for the second bag and for lining pieces. Place the pocket about an inch from the bottom of the bag a...

Sew What: DIY Gift Boxes and a Sewing Project
http://mysewwhatblog.blogspot.com/2015/07/diy-gift-boxes-and-sewing-project.html
Costumes, Decorations, etc. Thursday, July 30, 2015. DIY Gift Boxes and a Sewing Project. I haven't been avoiding you, really! This summer has been very busy! When I realized in the spring that we would be totally childless for the summer for the first time since 1983, I thought for sure that this would be the summer that I would get everything done. That really has not been the case. The next two to three weeks are even busier so if you don't see me here much, that is the reason why. BUSY! Here is the f...

Sew What: TOTE BAG--Totally Cute, Totally Easy, Totally Reversible!
http://mysewwhatblog.blogspot.com/2012/07/tote-bag-totally-cute-totally-easy.html
Costumes, Decorations, etc. Saturday, July 7, 2012. TOTE BAG- Totally Cute, Totally Easy, Totally Reversible! Someone asked me if I would be willing to make an "easy" tote bag tutorial; just your plain, ordinary tote bag, with no pockets or frills. The most difficult part of this project from my perspective will be leaving out pockets. I can be a bit of a pocket fanatic and in other tote bag projects I have done, I always sneak in an extra pocket or two. At Joanne Fabrics and most other fabric stores, yo...

Art and Sand: Simple Things
http://artandsand.blogspot.com/2015/02/simple-things.html
Sunday, February 1, 2015. Steve loves music - all types of music - and the stereo is always playing either Steve's music (11,000 songs), Pandora or iTunes radio. I don't always listen to the lyrics, but sometimes a line will stick with me. I awoke on Saturday morning with nothing on the agenda until our walk which wouldn't be until 2:00 .pm - we plan our beach walks around the tides. In the midst of my puttering, the song "Keep Me In Your Heart" by Warren Zevon came on. The entryway . . . It was a lovely...
