First - End of the year teacher gifts for Amelia. I made those cute pouches again. I put together pairs of fabrics and Amelia got to chose 4. I decided to make the pouches same outer fabric on both sides and no embellishments. The easier the quicker the better. I especially like the lime green zipper on the pink pouch. Nice pop of color.
And the insides. Only thing I have to do is slip stitch the turning holes in the bottom of the liners.
Next up (I love how this came out!) - a personalized pillow for Amelia. It's a secret. I'm going to give it to her for her 5th birthday in August. I don't know why I'm saving it for then but I just want it to be a gift. I have a little puckering between a couple of the letters but I'm not going to stress about it. It's VERY cute and I want one for myself! Same colors too!! LOL. I think I'm going to make them as gifts for the family kids this Christmas/birthdays. It did take me a couple of hours to do her name but after that, it was smooth sailing.
One of the quilt shops that I've taken classes in a few times is having a GREAT sale until the end of the month. Buy 2 yards, get 1 yard free. I took a ride on Saturday and bought 16 yards of fabric. SIXTEEN YARDS! Oh my. But 8 of them were "free". That's how I justify my purchase. LOL! My stash is getting full now.
One last thing, I ordered some labels from Sweetwater Street. I want to be able label totes and smaller things that I make for people. I ordered 4 so that I can see the size and such. Even though I really like the bigger ones, I think I'm going to get the small square with flower. I think it's too cute. I also want to get personalized ribbon for the same reason from here. Now that I decided on this label, I can make my decision on the ribbon.
Enjoy your day!

I love, love, love Amelia's pillow! That is so cute!
ReplyDeleteAren't those Sweetwater Labels the best? I ordered some several months ago and I just love them. I didn't realize they did personalized ribbon, but I'll definitely have to look into that too!
I love your little zippered bags you made! I didn't see one with my name on it though...
ReplyDeleteI like your labels. Great idea and I agree... the smaller one with the flower seems to be the one that would work the best and it's really really cute also:)
Awesome how much you're getting done. I love the pillow - you should definitely make one for yourself before you make more gifts. You deserve it!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering where you were the past few days... looks like you were having a ball with all that sewing. Good to have you back!
Oh you are so right...Amelia's pillow is super cute. I'd want one too! LOL. Your pouches turned out nicely and I really like your labels. That ribbon is cool.
ReplyDeleteI love love love Amelia's pillow! Hmmm might have to do something similar for Ally's August bday (13 this year!).
ReplyDeleteAll of your stuff is so cute. First of all I love Amelia's pillow, adorable! How fun those Punkie Pie labels. Sweetwater has great labels. And I'm sure Amelia's teachers loved the little purse pouches. You've been busy.
ReplyDeleteCute labels, and that pillow is adorable. She's going to love it. I sure do.
ReplyDeleteNice job on the zipper bags. Your on a roll over there.
Oh, you've been making some cute stuff! That pillow for Amelia is so cute, Jen. It is truly adorable. I like those labels, too, and it got me thinking about maybe getting some. I will have to check out Sweetwater Street.
ReplyDeleteCute little bags! More beautiful work. :-) They will love them. And HOW cute is Amelia's pillow?? I love it too, the colors are fabulous. The labels...OMG, I am really coveting those. Niiiiice.
