Sewing projects

Today was another no drive day. We have some extra kids (two boys, plus my two boys) but I found some time to work on some sewing projects.

I made two Curious George pillowcases for my friend's son's 4th birthday. I made a case to carry them in as well (a little tote) out of the same fabric.

I also made a sleep mask with elastic to fit around your head, filled with lavender for a friend. I made myself one previously and am very pleased with the one I made today (the one I made myself is a mess, but still works great.)

Next I made a washable sandwich and snack bag also for a friend. I lined the inside with an old shower curtain and the outside is cute Care Bear fabric.

I really enjoy sewing and am improving, but I am still too impatient to measure and pin, so I do get some uneven seems and such. This is why I like making totes and such, I just eyeball it, and they still come out cute.

The other day I made my friend (my oldest friend, we have been friends since we were 6, we are the same age) a tote with fabric that so made me think of her for her 31st birthday. Who can't use another tote? I know I use totes daily.

Now I have to package up the tote and pillowcases to mail out tomorrow (they live in PA.)

I am so glad I bought my sewing machine.

My next project is a table cloth for another friend, which should be pretty easy.

p.s. I took some pictures, but can not find my USB for my camera.
