Lego Table

So we went out yard saling this morning... Plan was-- if we see something that inspires us, we'll do a project!


20 minutes out & back... Our Saturday 


I stopped on one street that happened to have 4 sales... On my third visit, I saw an end table... I had seen something made from this.... I thought, what was it... The seller's friend said, yeah on Pinterest... What was it. I thought a moment... Lego table! 


And so we made this... I cut a whole out so I could put the wicker basket inside and walla! 


Connor loves it!

A summer cardigan-like vest

Had fun making this today... A toss over anything summer layering fun... Even if it's just taking the dog out... Have t hemmed the bottom yet--I'm thinking a grey fringe may finish it nicely.

Stayed up late to finish this practice pattern

A little after midnight... A few seam ripped legs until I realized where I went wrong... A fun practice piece I used with fabric I had from FIDM's store in LA. It was fairly cheap and it actually turned out OK. The pattern is all going the same direction so that's good!

This fabric had more spandex to it.. The fabric I may try it out on is softer with 95% rayon knit. We'll see!

Easy cheap

We have elastic remnants... Perfect for free hairties.

In progress

Almost done with my mini quilt project. I bought a small kit during shop hop two years ago. The kit was a few strips of coordinating fabric from Quilting Sew Easy in Gaffney. Finally used my time to get it going (the same day I made my knit dress).

I'll be sure to post the finished product. Need to appliqué stitch and bind. Not sure if it will be a gift or end up on our wall. Just glad I'm making it.

A knit dress for me

Finally had an afternoon to sew and to sew for me. Used some knit fabric I've been holding onto for awhile. Made it with a McCall's pattern.

Easy tunic/dress

I tried out a tutorial... Pretty easy... Had this fabric for about 3 years since I was in L.A. cottons!
