  Bear Hunting Hat and Old Car Hat and Camo Personal Hat By the way, I have no idea what I am doing....I made a cover for the hats and then did whatever.   Combo Sewing and Gluing. I started to sew on the inside of the caps to finish them but I worried that the edge would feel uncomfortable, so I got some permanent fabric glue to glue the inside edges with some topstitching. I am adding a Moose to the camo Hunting Hat Not perfect but good enough for hunting or hanging on a display hatrack These were all a learning experience I put too thick a stabilizer in the bucket. Maybe a grandchild will get it.  I would need to make it bigger and less stabilizer as I wanted to make it reversible. I need to do the finishing touches so I can go back to finishing the tummy time sloths minky throw.

  I have a number of old sewing machines that have embroidery stitches.  They were new in 1996. I learned everything by doing. Get out your manual and a look at what needle they tell you to use for embroidery stitching.  Get the kind of thread they tell you to use.  Thread your machine the way the manual tells you. Be sure to put on the right foot on your machine, because you don't want to hit the sides of your presser foot.  It needs to be the one you use for zigzag sewing, so that there is room for your needle to go back and forth, the hole is a slot not just a round hole.  Not a zipper foot.   Your manual will tell you which to put on. Get a piece of batting, and two pieces of fabric. Practice using all of your stitches. This is how I made these holiday hot pads, or centerpieces, or wall hangings, or door designs for in the center of wreaths, whatever you want to call them. They were really my practice pieces, to learn things to do. I just cut...

 I loved making little things for my kids so much that before I had babys I made sets and took them to work.... and then when I had children and they got bigger I made Gift baskets for Church Bazaars and School Fundraisers.... by then I had started doing other things besides sewing so I combined machine sewing with handsewing and embroidery plus craft projects like fabric photo albums that played music and Stained glass night lights and Suncatchers.  I didn't take a lot of pictures but here are some baskets I did for a fundraiser and really they were more about fun for me than anything else..... well maybe I loved thinking of the babies that would be using these items or the moms that would be smiling as the used these items with their little ones.....  In my usual fevered obsession I spent many nights up into the night making these items....   This Frog gift basket had a little of everything besides the booties hanging on top and the bib peeping through with th...

 Baby Buntings and Floor Fun A simple minky blanket is cozy - this is wide diagonal quilted. Leftover minky from gifts, just sew blocks together, baby loves it. This is a pretty simple minky bunting.  Decide the shape-ribbon at bottom is not only decorative but it creates a pocket to put those extra diapers in and misc creams and wipes.  the top shuts with a sewn on bow and a snap or velcro spot so the breeze won't come in. This bunting is fairly easy.  I did quilt the minky and do a velcro shut on wrap.   The sheep are self applique made by satin zig zag around the sheep Just slide the baby in and velcro shut. Always need burpers..and this kind is extra thick This is a Lambie Pie made from different types of Minky and as you can see floor tummy time has a friend along with a basket of soft toys to practice moving on the floor.  I think he likes Lambie Pie, he keeps pinching its cheeks and kissing it. The face is all embroidery. You can make a ball by ...
