Back to Blogging

Well, after months of not blogging, I got the urge to start again....for the second time!  I hope to continue if only one time a week.  I always look at Crochet Nature's Facebook Page and Website,
and have been looking at other blogs such as Threading My Way , Creating my Way to Success which I have always enjoyed.

So now to play catch-up.

I will begin in May of 2014....my neighbor asked if I would mind hemming curtains for her two daughters' room.  I was delighted.  Below are photos of the cute, cheerful fabric the curtains were made of.  She said I could keep the scraps which were a good amount of fabric...I was excited.

 The cute polka dot curtain before I cut it off about 8".

After I hemmed the lining and curtain.

I do not have a picture of it hanging the the girls' bedroom but their mom said it looks so pretty and the length was perfect.

It was so enjoyable to sew this cheerful fabric.

Pink Pillowcase

Last year Jessica (SunnyStitching) and I made a quilt for Evangelyn's new bed.  We used pieces of fabric from clothes we had sewed for her and also some clothes that were her favorites.  The quilt was so beautiful and cheerful when finished.  Click here to see Jessica's post about it..you will love her fabulous blog.  I have included a picture of it below.

Several months later I used the left over scraps to make a fun "Pig Pillow" for her bed, and also made a "Pig Pillow" for her brother Canaan using scrap fabric from clothes we had made for him.  Evie still did not have a cute pillowcase so I then decided to make her one and used still remaining fabric from the pig. Here is a picture of the pigs showing the patchwork.

I found a great pattern online.  From the pattern choices for the pillowcase, i chose the basic pattern.  Then I purchased some soft cotton fabric, pink with white polka dots at JoAnn's Fabric store for the body of the pillowcase,  and started cutting and sewing.  I used the patchwork fabric leftover from the pig for the band of the pillowcase. So, the pillowcase will be shipped this week, along with the cargo pants I made for Canaan.   I think Evie will really love it.

To our precious Evie......sleep tight. 

Love, Nanny and Papa
