Rainbow Stripes

Looking for a fun easy project for the summer-you seriously could make 20 of these in a day...they're that easy. I choose a Free to Grow Organic Cotton stripe and paired it with a Cloud 9 dot. A little pleating, elastic and some hemming and you're done-I only wish P was a little older and could wear this!

Dress Pattern is from the One Yard Wonders book , available at the store.

A Little Bag for My Little Guy

As soon as I unpacked this elephant fabric I knew I wanted to do something with it. It didn't take me long to find the messenger bag pattern in One Yard Wonders and get to work-seriously only took me about 30 minutes to make-Love it! Sorry for the blurry pic...hard to get this little guy to stand still

Quick Little Project

It's been a busy day today which has been great, but in-between customers I was able to get this bag sewn for my SIL who came into town to celebrate my son's birthday and got roped into babysitting the kids today :)

I recently fell in love with this fabric and was happy to see that it translated well in this bag-I was afraid it would only be useful for childrens projects, but I think it looks great and modern too. Hope she likes it!

Can't kick the One Yard Wonders Addiction

So I am officially addicted to this book. I turned out these two projects that are also from the One Yard Wonders Book I carry in the store. Each took me less than an hour and less than a yard.

Sidenote: I promise my posts will start containing more content to go along with the pics soon :)

One Yard Wonders

I was feeling crafty today so I opened up our copy of One Yard Wonders and whipped up this cute little jacket for my little girl, in less than an hour and less than a half yard!

So cute-I love it-wish I could pull it off myself :)

So Many Projects, So Many Ideas

So owning a fabric store is great, but I also am getting overwhelmed with ideas for projects and have been eyeing up fabrics all day!

Here is a list of the projects I plan to get started on in the near future...

From the One Yard Wonders Book(avail in the store)

The Bird Mobile-Perfect for the Baby's New Room, I am just trying to decide on a fabric-I think I might go with the Geo Grand organic cotton collection since it has some great contrasting light and dark and it somewhat gender neutral(probably will go with the brown and cream pattern)

Next of the list is the Covered Up Laptop Satchel/Bag Pattern(avail in store). We really need a fun laptop bag that is gender neutral so that my husband will be willing to carry it around too!

I think I might use one of the new Monaluna fabric that I just got in(also organic)

or maybe I'll wait until later this week when this comes in...

I also want to get started on the pillowcases I plan on making for the pillowcase drive(PLEASE if you would be willing to make one and donate it-even if you do not live locally email me and I'll give you details and let you know where to get some free patterns-drawstringstudio@gmail.com)

I'm not exactly sure what fabrics I'm going to utilize, but I already have some finished in the store for the window display.

That's what I'm working on-what's on your list of projects?
