Table skirt and coasters

Here's a fall table skirt I made with fabric that seemed to jump into my cart recently. Of course I needed coordinating coasters. 

Daycare nap time blankets

I returned two of the fleece blanket kits I had purchased from JoAnns and got flannel fabric for the daycare nap blankets Emelie wanted for Julia. She said that if I pick gender-neutral fabric, Julia's baby brother will be able to use them, too. It's hard to pick which flannel to use. There are oh so many darling prints. They were on sale at 40% off. The day after my purchase, they went on sale for 60% off.

Bindle Bags

When the family was here in early August, I got orders for three Bindle Bags. Leslie wanted one with a cross-body strap. The pattern didn't call for that long a handle, but that wasn't a difficult addition. I don't know if it's the best handle for this bag, because it won't be easy to get in and out of it when it's over the shoulder, but she wants it for a lunch bag, so the ease of carrying was more important to her. I had some of this floral fabric left from one I made for myself, and she loved it, but I didn't have enough for another bag. I ran across the fabric at Wal-Mart, so I was able to make it for her. She will be surprised to see the fabric on her bag.

Emelie asked for two bags in the medium size, also for lunch bags. She picked the fabric for hers. 

This makes 9 of these Bindle Bags that I have made. I guess I got my money's worth from the purchase of this pattern by Sisters of a Common Thread.

Daycare nap blanket

Emelie said that Julia could use some bigger blankets for daycare naps. I found some fleece blanket kits on sale at JoAnns. This is the first one. If Emelie and Julia like it, I'll make the other two. If they would rather have flannel, I'll return the other two kits and purchase some flannel.

I first tried to do a no-sew braided edge, but it puckered too much, so I cut off the edge and did a hand stitched blanket stitch.

This is the braided edge that I ended up 

cutting off.   It doesn't look too puckered 

in the picture, but, believe me, it was.

Coasters

Iris made these coasters while she was here. She picked fabrics from my 5" squares. She may be making more to sell at a craft table. Leslie and I think she may need some help picking "boring" fabrics that adults would like and buy. LOL  

And these are ones I made for Emelie with fabrics that she picked for her living room.

These are our favorite style of coasters and so easy to make!

Machine embroidery embellished t-shirts; hair clips

It was a delight to make these shirts for Sonja (who loves Peppa Pig) and Julia (who is a fan of Minnie Mouse). They look delighted, too. I also made some hair clips for Julia resembling Minnie's hair bows.

Spring chenille wall hanging

I just finished this wall hanging (another chenille) in time to display it when family is here visiting. I procraftinated again.…
