Child's Messenger Bag

Again, another creation from my One Yard Wonders book.  I love that book!  My girls just started preschool a couple of weeks ago and I made them these darling little messenger bags.  I had to reduce the strap size by several inches but it turned out so cute and they love them!  I let them pick out the fabric and I added little button embellishments on the flap.  

Nursing Cover

One of my friends, who recently had a baby, asked me to make her a nursing cover.  They are surprisingly easy and take little time to make.  I add a little terry cloth in the corners (cut a washcloth in half).  It's great for wiping the baby's mouth when they are nursing. I only took this picture for some reason so this is the only shot I have of it!

"Upcycled" Magazine Rack

When my Grandmother passed away a year ago, I asked if I could have this magazine rack.  Although, when I got it, it was dark brown.  I had great plans for it! I just sanded it a little and painted it lavender (my girls picked it out). I made a little fabric sling for the inside and ta-da! It now holds some of the books in their room.  I absolutely love the way it turned out!

Collegiate Trash Bag

My friend, Lauren, loves OSU! Go Cowboys! She had some leftover fabric from a previous project and asked me to make her a trash bag for her car.  I think it turned out awesome!!  I love my One Yard Wonders book!

Repurposed magazine rack

When my Meemaw passed away last year, I wanted this magazine rack from her house.  I wasn't sure at the time what I was going to do with it, but knew I could do something.  My mom and I always like to go to antique malls/craft stores and we always see things that have been redone similar to this.  I decided to use it in my girls' room for some of their books.  They books, however, just stacked up from the bottom and were hard to get to so I made a fabric sling for it.  I think it turned out nice!  It used to be a dark brown color and my girls picked out this lavender color.  

Memory Game

I wanted to find something quiet and new for the girls to do on the airplane this summer for our trip to OK.  They  recently got a Strawberry Shortcake Memory Game as a gift and loved it!  I had some extra coordinating fat quarters so I made 2 sets out of that and a little matching drawstring back for each.  It was awesome on the airplane! Perfect size for the trays, quiet and they wanted to play it over and over.  All in all, a success!

Connections Raffle

I am contributing some handmade things for our Women's Connections Group at church.  The necklace roll and keychain I have done before, but the eyeglass case is new.  I think it turned out really cute.  I've been needing a couple of cases for the various reading glasses around my house, I still haven't made one for me yet.  This case is big enough to hold 2 reading glasses! I quilted the top to give it a little extra something.  I think it turned out cute.
