Miscellaneous Sewing

These jeans had about a 2 inch rip in the seat. 

I sewed a scrap of denim on the inside.

Then I used a zig-zag stitch to sew over the rip using matching thread.

You can barely see where the tear was now.

In the last week, I have re-attached a ruffle hem on a little girl's dress.

The dress was new at Christmas. The ruffle came off the first time it was worn.

I also sewed patches on my two nieces' karate uniforms - 4 patches on each top.

Oh, one more thing....

I made a cover for a foam back pillow with a velcro closure

so it can be removed and washed easily.

Do you need any miscellaneous sewing done?   If sew, email me at apmaddux@yahoo.com

Family Things for Christmas

I learned how to make divinity candy from the expert - my mom.

She is a tough teacher.  I think I passed, but it wasn't easy.

I made Andrea a 'Santa' shirt for Christmas.

Finally got this done on December 23rd,

She only got to wear it once.  Oh well, there's always next year.

I made this scarf for my neice, Emily age 7, who is learing to crochet.

She did the fringe by herself. 

We had a 'craft' day on Dec 23rd.

I helped my neices make ribbon pony tail holders.

Shelby chose  the green & red ribbons above

and these Auburn ribbons.

Emily chose Bama ribbons -  Just to aggravate her mother.

This is Emily's other choice - pink and lime green.

We had a lot of fun!

What I did before Christmas

Hand towels:  Left 'B' is in TImes New Roman font

Right 'B' is in French Script.

I embroidered names on these 4 stockings. 

The single letters were already on them.

Barely made the deadline on this one!

I made three lap size memory quilts for a family

who is very special to me.

This was a very rewarding project.

I also did four scarves for different people from 'That One Jewelry & Gifts'.

Thanks Carolyn!



Houndstooth Checkbook Cover

This is a checkbook cover that I made for myself as a sample.
The houndstooth is actually paper designed to be stitched on.
You could also use vinyl letters for the monogram.
I purchased the checkbook cover and the paper
from the SewingMachine.comstore in West Point, GA.
