More Zippered Bags............

I am getting addicted to these ITH zippered bags from Disorderly Threads. I made these for my Grandson who love to dress up as Fireman Sam so the fire truck was a must and his Poppy has a Red Tractor so I knew he would love that one as well.  Once again all made In the Hoop on the Embroidery Machine. with no seams showing.  Just a bit of  hand sewing where you turn the bag inside out.  Must follow the directions because if you don't open the zipper at the right time you can't turn the bag.  I found that out the hard way, nothing I could do, the bag was completely finished and I couldn't turn it to the right side.  Lesson learnt!!!!!!!!





                                                                       

More Christmas Angels ....................

More Christmas Angels, this time I used the other pattern with the eyes closed and a different dress. I put dark hair on one for a friend who has dark hair.  She loved it.  The design is from Oma's Place and the Angels are made in three hoopings and then put together


                                                                               

Fun with Toilet Paper !!!!!!!!!

A great idea for a bit of fun, Embroidering on toilet paper.  Does seem a bit weird, doesn't it.  A awesome  gift for someone who has everything or just for a laugh.   You can use any 4 x 4 design as long as it is not too dense.  Goodies by Gail sells designs  specially digitized for toilet paper.  You will find something for every occasion.   Have a go you will be surprised how easy it is.

                                                                             

Christmas Tea Towels.................

I embroidered some Christmas Tea Towels to have on hand in case visitors stop by over the Christmas Holidays.  I really love the little house which was off a Brother Embroidery Card.
I have decided to go through my cards and use them as they have some great designs and I never think to use them. So maybe a New Years Resolution instead of buying more designs on the internet.





                                                                                 

Snow Ball Fight.........

A brilliant  idea from Embroidery Garden, Lets have a Snow Ball Fight.  The balls are made from white fleece fabric and the cute faces are embroidered and the balls are stuffed with toy filling

Living where I just can't pop down to the shops to get sewing supplies, I found some off cuts of white fleece that I had kept and I managed to get 2 sets of balls.  I was happy to finally find a use for some of my scraps as well as to have a great gift for the grandkids..........

Christmas T Shirts ..........

My grandsons are getting too old for T Shirts ( that's what they think) so this year I only made for the two youngest, Cooper aged 6 and Thomas aged 10.  These great designs are from Urban Threads .  I really loved how they turned out as they are not too heavy for the T Shirt fabric.. These designs where stitched on a Singer xl 400 in a 6 x 10 hoop.

Cow Zippered Bag.........

This time a cow zippered bag. Very cute could be for a boy  and a bow or flower added for the girl.
I can't help myself, I love making these bags.   The design is from Disorderly Threads and all made ITH on the Embroidery Machine. Just a tiny bit of hand sewing where you turn the bag inside out.
Cute...................




                                                                             

Hand Towels..........

I really loved the tutorial for the fridge towels on SHE CAN SHE Blog.   I have had 12 months to make my hand towel for the Christmas Gift Exchange at my Patchwork Group..... I was looking for something special so as soon as I saw this one I knew that is was the One.   I made a couple more for gifts.  The picture doesn't show the binding down the sides of the towel.  It makes the towel that little bit different..


                                                                             

Table Runner!!!!!!

A few months ago we did some paper piecing  at my Patchwork Group, I always try to make something out of what we do otherwise it is a waste of material even though we are learning new techniques. I decided to turn my paper piecing into table runners. The colours are a hot pink and lime green. The pattern was a hibiscus and I am not sure where it came from.  The runner pattern is a very common one on the internet. I also used iron on pellon on the back of the top of the runner to give it  a nice smooth appearance.. I use these colours in my dining area, finally something for me.




                                                                                 

Caravan Zippered Bags......

These bags  are so cute, mini caravans. Once again the bags are fully lined with no side seams showing.  A small bit of hand sewing on the inside bottom of the bag where it is turned inside out.  It is all made In the Hoop on the Embroidery Machine. I used the 6 X 10 hoop on my Singer XL 400. The design came from Disorderly Threads. A great  little gift  for anybody  with a caravan.

                                                                           

Christmas Angels.........

                                                                     
I bought this design last year to make for last Christmas. I printed out the pages of instructions and thought it looked really difficult.   I usually make a Christmas Gift for my children so I pulled out pattern and decided to have a go at making the Angels.
I don't know why I thought it was so complicated as they  where really easy to make.  They are an ITH design from Oma's Place and made on the embroidery machine. The Angels are made in three pieces, the head, wings and dress and have to be put together with a glue gun.  I bought the dolls hair but there is instructions for the hair as well.  They are really gorgeous, the design also has another face design with the eyes closed and also another dress design.  I will defiantly be making more very soon.
    






                                                                           

                                                                             
                                                                           







                                                                           

                                                                           

Texture Magic Flowers.........

Flower Headbands using texture magic. The design is from Embroidery Garden. Texture Magic is used between the layers of fabric and stitched into the flower shapes. After the shape of the flower is cut out you then use the steam from the iron and hold it over the flower shape and the steam makes the fabric crinkle up.  It is quite amazing to watch.

                                                                               

Great for Halloween !!!!!!!

A  winner with my grandsons, finally found something that they like.  Skull  zippered bags. Made with red satin for the inside of the skull and the white lace for the bones.  All lined with no seams showing with just a bit of hand sewing where the bag is turned inside out. The design is from Disorderly Threads and made In the Hoop on the Embroidery Machine. I used the 6 x 10 hoop.
The design can be  made in a 5 x 7 hoop. A great bag for Halloween.

                                                                           

Gorgeous Glitter Butterflies.........

I made these Gorgeous Glitter Butterflies from the glitter sheets that I had for  a while.  They are  made In the Hoop on the Embroidery Machine.  The design was from Etsy, Dream Catcher Designs  Very  quick and easy to make. I put felt on the back and you can fit 6 butterflies in a 5 x 7 hoop. There is a space between the wings where the bobby pin goes,   I can see many possibilities for these butterflies.
