Perfectly Pretty

ID Key Chain

2009-07-16T10:05:00.002-04:00

These little key chains are perfect for holding your keys and sliding your license or coins in the pocket. I use mine for work where we have a keyless entry. I put my card in the pocket and I don't even have to take it out. It works right through the fabric. I LOVE IT! So functional!

Summer Toddler Sundress

2009-06-09T21:33:00.001-04:00

This is a new pattern for a sundress. Not quite sure I got the size right, but I have a few nieces that can try it on. Very cute sunny dress!

Pleated Purse Floral

2009-06-08T21:30:00.002-04:00

Picture doesn't do justice to this purse. The colors are so brillant, the camera just didn't pick this up. Cute, small, purse.

Beach Tote Bag, Zebra Madness, Green

2009-06-07T17:27:00.004-04:00

Brittany loved her Beach Tote Bag, she wanted me to make one for her friend for our upcoming vacation. This one is really cute too!

Beach Tote Bag, Zebra Madness, Pink

2009-06-07T14:07:00.003-04:00

This is Brittany's new beach bag. We looked high and low at the flea market for a beach bag she liked. No luck, but she suggested I just make her one. So she picked out the fabric and here it is. I think it turned out great. She's pretty good at putting the fabrics together because when I saw what she came back with, I was skeptical. It's really roomy and she has a pocket for a book/lotion and, of course, a custom cell phone pocket. Pefectly Pretty!

Green Floral Purse

2009-06-07T14:03:00.003-04:00

New gathered purse. I lreally ike the gathered look of this purse. I tried a new strap technique and put them on the outside, not liking that too much. But, it's different.

Crayon Holder Organizer

2009-04-22T19:13:00.007-04:00

Grayson's Crayon Holder - I made this for my neice Grayson. You'll see in my previous posts I made really cute tote bags, but Grayson already has a tote bag. I decided to make something different for her. This is a well organized crayon holder. You put your crayons in the slots and roll it up for portability. Now she can tuck this into her tote bag and add a coloring book for an enjoyable evening out with her mom and dad.

Earring Organizer and Barrette Organzier

2009-04-15T09:28:00.003-04:00

I had two old frames that I have been saving and finally came up with an idea for them. The first one I took an old screen and stapled it to the back of the frame, hung it on the wall and now Brittany has a neat, orderly place to put her earings. This was really easy to make. The second one I took some fabric and staples to the cardboard backing and then stapled an assortment of ribbon to the back of the cardboard. This is a barrette holder for Grayson, my niece. I didn't have any barrettes as an example, but you just clip the barrettes to the ribbon. Now you can keep them all organzied in one place.

DC Make Up Bag, Zipper Bag

2009-04-15T09:27:00.001-04:00

Brittany's DC make up bag. She stuffed a lot of make up in this bag. I don't know how she does it.

Aspen's Tote Bag for Easter.

2009-04-09T17:56:00.000-04:00

Sid and Sam's Tote Bags - Aren't they so cute!!! Sid's strap is a little longer because she is older. I think they are realy going to like them.

2009-04-09T16:52:00.000-04:00

Sammy's Tote Bag --- I made this small child's tote bag for my niece Samantha. I filled it with lots of goodies so when she goes to dinner with her family, she has lots of little games to play with. I'm giving it to her for Easter. I'm now making one for her sister, Sydney.

Dragon Fly Purse

2009-04-08T21:42:00.001-04:00

Dragonfly purse with pocket on the inside. I think I'll try to attempt a zipper with the next purse I do.

Change Purse - Spring Sunshine

2009-04-08T21:36:00.001-04:00

Spring Sunshine - This change purse was done for my sister, Darlene. It's a slightly smaller than the make up purse.

Change Purse - Grey Morning Flower

2009-04-08T14:47:00.001-04:00

Grey Morning Flower - I liked my first bag so much, I made another one. This one I gave to my friend/boss at work, Sarah. She gave me the really cool mug "I am not a paper cup". I wanted to return her kindness. She really seemed to like it. Plus the colors reminded me of her.

Change Purse - Tulip Delight

2009-04-08T14:44:00.001-04:00

Tulip Delight - Cute new make up bag. Just the right size for lipstick, gloss, etc. I gave this bag to my sister Donna. She just loves it!

I Am Not a Paper Cup

2009-04-08T13:35:00.001-04:00

Fantastic Find! I was given this "I Am Not A Paper Cup" mug from a friend at work. It is absolutely the best travel mug I've owned. It’s an eco-friendly, double-walled porcelain cup — yep, porcelain, so your coffee tastes good and not metallic. Its silicone lid stays on without fail and it can go in the dishwasher! So now you don't have to give up your daily coffee fix to show mama earth some love!

Orla Kiely Dish Towel TOTE

2009-03-21T17:41:00.001-04:00

Again, these dish towels are just too cute! I made a tote bag and a purse from the brown/orange Orla Kiely dish towels. They were so easy. I did make a few mistakes like sewing my handles INSIDE the bag! You learn by doing. I have yet another Orla Kiely dish towel and it's a green pear. I've decided to make another purse since I love this pattern - PERFECTLY PRETTY!

Orla Kiely Dish Towels

2009-03-21T17:35:00.001-04:00

I was recently at Target and saw these really great Orla Kiely dish towels. Such a cute and happy pattern. Too good to pass up. I made a few wristlets out of these dish towels. They came two to a pack and I used one for the outside and the other for the inside - Perfectly Pretty!!

New Sewing Machine

2009-03-21T17:22:00.000-04:00

I've always wanted a sewing machine but really found no time to take up the task. Well, the time has arrived! I finally bought my first sewing machine. For my first project I tackled a very beginner pattern. Well, that didn't go over so well. Pattern reading is so ALIEN! I did finally begin to catch on to easier projects I found on the web. Thanks to the many sewing tutorials online, I was able to successfully complete a few projects. This is a really cute wristlet.
