Batman returns!!

I made this cape for my nephew for his birthday. I had to get Markus to model it before I wrapped it up! Of course I have already started on a second one for him, and will likely make a third for my other nephew, the boys LOVE dressing up! I am quite pleased with how it turned out....I used a Quick Sew pattern (though there was nothing quick about it!) I spent a few late nights after getting home from work, but managed to figure it out! It is hard to see in the picture, but there are little ears at the top of the hood...I lined them with interfacing to make them stick up.... I cut out the eyes and then satin stitched around the openings. The whole thing is fully lined (that was the tricky part!) but worth it!

FAncy Box

Of course Carrie G, had to have the fanciest project!! This is a little box/notecard holder. We used the big shot to cut out the scallop squares and the stamp set "because I care", one of my new favorites. Click the picture for a close up.....

I'm not sure what this set is even called...I like the way we popped the bird up and of course the mini library clip is a fun accent.

Wild Wasabi is back.....

I love this color, and am so happy it is back with SU's "color renovation". I attended a shoe-box swap a couple of weeks ago, everyone designs a card and brings the supplies for everyone to make their own.

Love this stamp set....

I spent a good part of the day today re-organizing my craft room yet again! I decided that my sewing stuff can't share my craft room space after all, I need the whole room for crafting!
I thought I should make something after all of that....This is Mellow Moss and Kraft. I watercolored the image with white craft ink and mellow moss ink (with my blender pen), added some sparkles in the centers of the flowers, the greeting, the bird (cut out/popped up) and tons of dimensionals...The stamp set is Elements of Style (clear mount).

Batik Pillowcase

I know....how many pillowcases do I need??! This was a project at the Serger Club that I go to once a month. We were learning a special decorative stitch called "fagotting" to attatch the batik to the muslin. Then you can add decorative ribbon.... It may come in handy one day!!

PS....the ribbon was not my choice it was all the instructor had!

MDS...Take 2

This one turned out better. I used the stamp set Garden Whimsey....I started with a blank 12x12 sheet, gave me more room to work with.
