Made some more...

I made pillow cases for the boys today

Heres Jacob'sI forgot to take a pic before he took it to bed so here's Chase's ha ha

He wanted a star pattern on it so it looked like a magic pillow.

ok ok I made it bigger ...

Here's the straps. I added some stitches.

Here's the button flap. I sewed around it twice for look and durability. It's kinda off center but I don't care.
Here's the front. I forgot to put Pellon in it so its thinner. Oops. I made the pockets huge too. I don't know if I like it or not. But they are big! Also I bought a great button for this and Gilli (or so I thought) took it and lost it. So I ended up using this one.Here's the top. (Closed)
Here's the inside. (Open)
It's about 10" x 17" and the straps are like 22"
I don't know how long this one took since I didn't pay attention. And after I started sewing Gilli "lost" my button that I bought to use and I searched the whole house for it. (Later finding it under a small paper on the table I was sewing at all day, oh well) Then Jason took us out to dinner for Chase's birthday since he didn't have school tonight. (some kind of teacher thing)
Anyway this is it, my first bag that I kinda designed on my own. I did get tips from these blogs though.
Lush Bag
Reversible Hand Bag
Reversible tote
1 hour bag

Two More!!

I made two bags the "same" but reversed.

It took me a bit longer to make two at the same time since I cut, ironed, and sewed all the pieces at the same time. But they are cute and I made them and they are done. Whoo Hoo!!! Now for something a bit different??? maybe, I really like these bags!!!

I picked random stitches for the pockets.

One More?

I made another one today

Smiling on Saturday

Today we all kinda did something different Chase and Jacob had a birthday party they went to, Jason had friends over to play on motorcycles, Taylor and I made more purses. These are the ones I made I didn't get pics of hers. :(

Ok I tried some stitches for fun.
The top is a blanket stitch, the next 4 are just fun stitches. The last row I did a couple different stitches in the same row. The first part is a triple stitch (does 3 stitches in each spot), the next is a slant stitch for knits, feather stitch, then a hand look quilt stitch. Not sure if I like them all but I tried then anyway.
