A Tula Pink Finish

Do you ever give yourself urealistic, self imposed deadlines?  I am finding that I do with almost every single quilting and sewing project.  I need to relax!  These self imposed deadlines hanging over my head just need to go!  I mean, seriously!

Well, here is a seriously cute drawstring bag made with Tula Pink's Birds and Bees line.  The pattern is by Jeni Baker of In Color Order.  That link will take you to her tutorial.  For the pattern, which has like 8 different sizes, click on this link here.

It is simple to make.  It is lined, too.  I made it for my Granddaughter.  Her first purse, of sorts for treats, toys, goodies, and whatnots.  I embroidered on the inside my Granddaughter's name with her Mom's phone number in case it gets left behind.  I just love the ladybug fabric and especially the ribbon!  This turned out so cute! 

And it can be washed.  Because if you are a Mom, you know what kinds of things will get put in a little girl's purse.

Linking up now to finish it up Friday at Crazy Mom Quilts.

Sunday Stash #6

I came late to the party of Tula Pink.  Better late than never, right?  One of my favorites of hers is Prince Charming.  Fortunately, there was Prince Charming fabric still being sold -on sale even- when I came to the party (or is it par-tay?!  Which  totally coincided with the release of this book from Tula Pink City Sampler: 100 Modern Quilt Blocks.).  I already had some yardage but really boosted my stash with IG #thegreatfabricdestash.

I am going to make this quilt with my stash FreeSpirit Prince Charming Quilt.  Now that I have enough fabric.  Instead of using Turtle Bay as the sashing, I plan on using Michael Miller's Cotton Couture in Vanilla.

Linking up now with Mila + Cuatro who is hosting Sunday Stash for Molli Sparkles.  

Finished Friday Infinity Scarf

While my BFF Jessica and I were organizing my sewing room, she came across some voile fabric from Connecting Threads.  (Come on, I can't be the only one that forgets fabric stashes!)  I had the fabric left over from making a quilt and want to use it to make infinity scarves.

Well, guess what e-mail I got from Jessica that Monday?  Uh huh, you guessed it.  This one from Pink Chalk Fabrics for infinity scarves.  It is free!

My completed project for today is an infinity scarf that I made for Jessica. Her Birthday is on Sunday.  And yes, she knows about this because I asked her to pick the colors.  (I didn't have much time to sew today because a niece is coming to stay with us for the weekend.  This took about an hour to make.)

Instead of hand stitching the opening closed, I top stitched close to the edges. (I don't like hand stitching.  I avoid it like the plague, except binding.  I like the look of hand stitched binding.)

I can see more of these in my future!  An easy pattern.  It will make a great gift.  Spring weather is coming - really it is!  Lots of gorgeous voile and lawn fabrics to make this with.  Tula Pink, Liberty of London, Amy Butler fabrics just to name a few.
