I have currently fell in love with the color blocking trend. I am so inspired to try and recreate one of these fashionable, exciting looks!

More pottery!

This was another piece I made in pottery. I know it isn't that great because I rushed and tried to make this for my grandma as a christmas present. The cup is dark blue even though it looks black in pictures. I think it was a great practice piece and I enjoyed making it in class.

Things I made in pottery class

Last year I took a pottery class and made this dog treat bowl. We were supposed to make something that reminds us of the past, future or present. I had picked the past and the present. The dog bone represents the past for my first pet. The M represent my dog's name which is Miller. The inside of the dog bone represents the present because I am very artistic. This project took me eight weeks to finish because everything was hand built. I love it so much.



Pattern Organizing

 I just started back sew this year. Since then it seams like I can not stop buying patterns.I finally found a way to organize my pattern collection so I can find them easily.

First I separated the patterns from the envelopes. Then I put the pattern envelopes in a three ring binder and divided it by style: pants,skirts,dresses.

 Then I put the patterns and instructions in a 6x9 envelopes.

Last I put the envelopes in a pattern box in numerical order.

-E6000 glue
-boning
-interfacing

Yay! I Love My body

 I am so excited about my duct tape dummy I made. I have wanted to make one of these babies for the longest. My sister and I worked up a sweat making this dummy. she was exausted from wrapping multipe layered around me and I was tired of being in that HOT duct tape suit. overall we did finish the dummy working together and  I think it turned out nicely.

The Must have Book For A Beginner.

This book is great for beginners. I would recommend this book to a person who has never sewn a pattern a day in thier life. This book is filled with a variety of beginner patterns. This book is a great book but a little to basic for my liking. I love the pictures in the book, it really makes the tutorials easy to follow. Overall I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn how to sew.
