Bubble Sundress

Here's a dress I made for a doll out of scraps from one of my purses.

JT's Vest

Here are some pictures of a vest I made J.T. and gave it to him for his birthday. Isn't it cute? Hopefully he'll like the FOUR pockets that are on it. He should be able to fit a car in each of them! I also put on orange tags since his favorite color is orange.

Here's the front:

Here's the back:


Here's a close-up shot of the zipper pocket.

Patriotic Wall Hanging

Here's a kit mom gave me for a wall-hanging. Glenda and Mom sewed it together, but I did the quilting and binding around the edges. I even handstitched the binding to the back so it looks neat. That was a lot of work, but since it was a small project, it wasn't too bad.

Up Close - here you can see my machine quilting:

Pants

Here are the pants that I have been working on . They are Vogue 1051. They are very comfy. :-) I am wearing them with a shirt I made as well this winter. Simplicity 4076. Sorry the pictures are sideways. I was too lazy to make them look right, and I don't think I can do it from the Interent blog thing. Also, the pants wrinkle really easily. :-(

I have my "quilt" top done! Here is a picture of it. Well, at least before the border and binding and stuff... Oh, why do they make these quilts so complicated!!!

What I've been up to now that I'm unemployed

My glads are blooming by the garage - we planted 100 bulbs we picked up at Sam's. They are a weedy mess - hopefully Keith can sneak out some mulch from work for free and make them look better.

The garden is also weedy, as the crabgrass has snuck up on me. I'm going to go out there today with some soap & vinegar - I heard it will kill weeds if it touches the leaves. (But I will stay away from my real plants!!!) I have two tomato plants that are doing very well and I ate my first grape tomato this week. We also took off a big bell pepper.

Yesterday morning, I helped a neighbor search for her dog that ran away when she let go of the leash. Her dogs are ALWAYS getting loose, but I felt bad just sitting on my butt drinking my coffee on my porch watching her. I ended up taking a second walk for the day and never found the stinkin' dog.

I've been doing some stuff in the yard - Mowed lawn for the first time in years. Didn't run into too many things with that zero-turn radius thing.... hee hee.

And of course, the sewing...I've been working on the layered tank top view of THIS. I had some fabric (below) I bought a couple weeks ago at Wal-Mart for $2 a yard. Should be cute when I'm done.

Pjs

Here are the pajamas I've been working on for the kiddos and the girl's dolls! I have to watch them unwrap them in a couple minutes, so I'll add more comments later...
