On My Craft Table: Basket Liners and New Thumbtacks

Not too much going on today, finishing up some projects such as these new thumbtacks for the shop:

Also, I am working on some basket liners for a friend:

X-marks the spot! The gingham fabric was making me really dizzy while I was trying to cut it. I made a muslin basket liner first, to make sure it would fit the basket. Then, I made a pattern out of poster board (I wanted something stiff to trace around). I still need to cut out the white lining -- the gingham was fairly sheer, so it needed a lining. Then I will use both the sewing machine and the serger to stitch these guys up!

I'll be working on more on Sunday, so I'll post more photos then!

On My Craft Table: Scarves, Bunting, and a Mystery!

Saturdays are when I usually get a lot of crafting done -- both for my shop, for friends, and for myself. Here's whats on my craft table today:

These are bunting flags that will be made into bunting banners for my shop. They just need to be sewn into the seam binding -- I hope to have them done by next weekend. There are a whole lot of fun new fabrics in this basket of flags! Cherries, cars, moons, some Amy Butler...

I have also been working on some scarves. Some are skinnier, but some are wider like this one. It is made from Heather Bailey fabrics -- they are really bright and bold! I love the ruffle on the end, which was a spur-of-the-moment idea. It is backed with super-soft minky fabric. Look for these in my shop soon too!

Here is a close-up of the scarf -- It isn't quite done yet, it needs to be top stitched around the edge.

And last, a mystery! This is a new idea I had, and it is quite different than anything in my shop right now. I won't give it away yet, but it will be available for custom order in my shop. I am working on samples right now for the photos.
