Ms. John would be proud

Who is Ms. John? My Junior High sewing teacher. TLC style. I got 100% on my sewing machine test, I sewed pillow cases, a wind sock, boxer shorts (they were cool for girls back in the day) and I was the designated seam ripper for the boys would mess up. Not kidding. Sad to say that I don't even own a sewing machine and well...my "skills" haven't been used much since 1995 with the exception of a few projects here and there. Hilary has taken me under her wing and taught me some in and outs. I will tell you this , I honestly feel domestically happy when my foot is down and that pedal starts to purr. I am pretty sure I know what I want for Christmas Santa. :) Don't look too closely...I am a beginner!

Little fabric rosettes.

These fabric flowers were quick and easy. I want to make some more out of OU fabric...just waiting for it to go on Sale.

My mom gave me a head band similar to this one, it was super cute. I checked it out and with Hilary's help figured they'd be pretty simple to make. We were right.

My final and most proud creation was this TAGGY. I really wanted it to crinkle so I messed with a few things and a potato chip bag made the best sound so I went with that.

A Taggy would be a great thing to throw in a church bag but the big one would be too much fun (noisy) so I made a smaller matching one. I was on a roll.

Now if you are wondering to yourself what on earth does one DO with a Taggy? Lydia will now demonstrate.

My next project is going to be sewing pillow covers for my couch. Despite what my dear, sweet and awesome husband says I know you'd all agree with me that they are ridiculously UGLY and need a make over!
