Crafty Goodness

Since we moved out here, I've taken to crafts like it's nobody's business.  Could be due to the fact we don't have any friends here which means I have lots of time on my hands.  I mentioned before that my "craft room" is my basement.  It does the job, it just gets really cold down there in the window so I have two portable heaters to help keep me warm.  Maybe one day we'll put drywall up and a fireplace so it will feel like a real craft room.

Here is how I store my big pieces of fabric.  Anybody have any suggestions on how to make this easier?  I have a fabric addiction and this is the result.

Here is where all the sewing magic happens.

My cutting table.  I'm currently working on a baby blanket for one of my colleagues.

This is how I store my scraps of fabric that are too small for the other shelf but still good enough for a project.

Which brings me to my next topic.  When I started sewing, I was going at it without someone to help me.  While I have had success with many projects, the first few, not so much.  So I have an offer for those that are okay with items that are less than perfect.  If you would like any of these items  leave a comment and let me know if you're interested in one particular item, two, three or all four.  I guess this is a good way as well to see who's still reading.

What's wrong with this you ask?

I forgot that run tends to run in the wash.  It bled right through to the back.  It's made out of flannelet with quilt batting in the middle.

I can't put my finger on this one but I just don't like the way it turned out.  The front is flannelet and the back is a soft, minky type of fabric.

 

The seam on this dress didn't turn out the way I wanted.  By the time I realized this the dress was done and I didn't want to unravel the whole thing.  This is made of cotton.

  

The seam on this hat is just off kilter.  It should fit a 1-3 year old.  Made of fleece.

I'll take submissions until September 30th, just over two weeks. Make sure you leave your email address or name so I can contact you.
