Self Binding Blanket

I know I have seen these for years, but never could figure out how to make them. Then I found this tutorial on Everyday Mom . It made perfect sense. And so here is my first attempt:  It needs a good ironing job, but I think it turned out really cute. My daughter loves it and thinks it is hers. I guess it will be :)

Fabric Sale

I really need to make room for the new fabrics I have coming--Moda Ruby, Riley Blake Lost and Found and Riley Blake So Sophie.  Sooooo....  Summer Song cotton is now $6.50 a yard!  Sew Cherry cotton is now $7.00 a yard!

Fabric Storage Bin

This is my first attempt to make a fabric storage bin. I absolutely love it! I bought the pattern from Baffin Bags on Etsy. I made the handles too big, but my daughter loves it that way. Wouldn't this make a great baby shower gift--a storage bin filled with diapers, lotions, burp cloths, etc? I wish I had a family member having a baby soon. This project only took 1 1/2 hours and I am sure I could make them faster now that I know how to put them together. I can't wait to make more!

Last month, I attended, well really hosted, a craft day in my area with some great ladies. We had a wonderful time. I just had to show you some of the projects we made:

Here is the Alphabet Soup Girl Quilt. I picked "sticky buns" for the design in a pink thread. It turned out so cute. It will be in my Etsy shop as soon as I can get the binding done.

So last week, a dear friend of mine had a birthday. I was having a hard time coming up with something to give her. And then I was looking through my patterns and came across this one: My friend is on the PTA and volunteers at our school a lot. So I decided to make her one. Here it is: She loved it! It was very easy and it only took 30 minutes to make. Now that I have made one, I notice lots of people wear them for their jobs. My kids have asked me to make them for their teachers. You can make one too. Check out my Etsy shop for the pattern :)
