On a fabric kick

I'm trying hard not to be a procrastinator (HA!) and one of the projects I wanted to do was cover a baby photo album given to me at my baby shower. Although I already put photos in it, I don't think it matters. I still had the bunny fabric left over from when I did the curtains in Sienna's room.

This is a super easy craft that doesn't require any sewing, just gluing. I got all my materials together and just glued! I also painted some wooden letters and glued them on the side. For the inside, I cut some cardboard and glued some pink fabric (also from the curtains) to them. Super easy! Done in one day!

I also mentioned last week going overboard at the Reprodepot booth

and since I still had fabric that I bought from them at last year's craft fair, I just had to get on the ball. I decided to make this really cute loop bag from here and OH MY GOODNESS! Look!! I did it!!

I took pains to make sure I was doing everything as good as I could. Of course I kinda screwed up the top stitching, it was kinda crooked and I didn't realize you can take a piece off of your sewing machine to fit the bag in through the arm but oh well. There were many firsts with this bag! I made templates out of cardboard (I figured if this bag works out, I'll make it for gifts!) I used interfacing. I made 2 loops. My boxy bottom is not lopsided! Look how cute it is!! I used it to go out to walk Skippy and to run to the store and had handy place for my wallet and keys!

I got so gung ho about sewing, I decided to tackle making a placemat for Skippy. The clear vinyl I ordered came last week and I wanted to try it out before it collected dust. Well, the placemat is still a work in progress. I didn't realize that it was difficult to sew on vinyl! But I found some tips online and will finish it off this week.
