Christmas/Winter Pillow Cover

 I found this completely adorable polar bear fabric that I had to have to cover a pillow on my bed.  The pink background is perfect for my room.  This will be my last sewing project until after the 18th.  I have to prepare for window replacement next week.  So much stuff to move out of the way.   I'll be crocheting flowers with my embroidery floss and knitting another scarf while my machine is moved.  Now I have to change my sewing machine needle, clean my machine and change out my rotary cutter blade so it will be ready for use again next week.  

Simple Sewn Scarves

   I bought a yard of rayon challis of two prints to make scarves.  I can make two scarves from 1 yard.  I made one for me and one for dear daughter.  The fabric was only $8.00 a yard from fashion fabric website.  

Christmas Tree Garland

  I used up some of my Christmas fabric making a Christmas Tree garland.  I sewed each tree to a felt backing.  Using beads for stars and wooden beads to decorate the top.

Used Up A Ball Of Yarn

   I found a stray ball of cream colored acrylic worsted weight yarn.  I started crocheting a simple garland with single crochet, then I added a row of slip stitches and chains to give each side a scallop edge.  It has a lacy look to it.  

    It was really easy to make and I'm going to use it on my little Christmas tree for my room.

 

Using Up Stash

    I found some green velvet fabric left over from some books I covered a couple of years ago.  The left over fabric made lovely pillow covers.  I made one for me and one for dear daughter.  It was a great way to use up that fabric.

   I also found my favorite Christmas fabric in my stash, and made a pillow cover with that fabric.  

    Both pillows were made with pillow forms that were just waiting for their own cover.

    I'm in the process of making two Christmas tree garlands.  One for the house and one for my rooms.  I'll post that picture later this week.

Foundation Paper Piecing Pattern.

 I just ordered this foundation paper piecing pattern from Ten Cow Quilts on Etsy.  I'm going to make this star to sew to the back of my denim jacket.
