Easter Flowers!!!

This year my amazing mother decided to sew us all (except Clarissa's she bout hers) Easter dresses!!! and I found this pattern and made us flowers with the extra fabric! It was realy easy!!!

first I cut five, 4" by 4" squares and a long 2" wide strip out of knit fabric. (my strip was 44" but it dosen't have to be exact)
Next I folded a square in halve and stitched along the edge, use very long thread!!!

Thean gather the square to make a peatal!!!!

Tie a knot, but DO NOT cut the thread. Without cutting the thread go to the next peatal, gather and tie a knot.

Once you gather all five peatals tie an knot to make a loop of peatals. don't cut the thread put aside the peatals leaving the thread long.

Next I folded the knit strp in half and cut little slits along the whole length of the strip.

Next wind the strip into a roll, and use the thread (still attached to the ring of peatals) to go thrugh the roll. I made my roll a little big!!! and had a little problem with my needle!!!! so I used hot glue instead.

my sad needle!!!

Next I used the extra thread and stitched (or if you have an extra large middle like mine use hot glue) the middle to the peatals!!

Now use hot glue to attach a hair clip or you can sew it to a bag, or shirt or any thing you want!!!

Now your finished!!!!! :)

Here are the other ones I made! for the pink and white one, my middle is way smaller I only used a 20" strip.

THE END!!!!!

My new Obsession #2

I'm crazy!! two posts in one day when I haven't posted in months. Anyway, I've also been obssesd with making these bags! I made a black and wite one for my friend for her Birthday and I liked it so much I made one for my girlscamp secret sister!!!

First I cut two piece of fabric of the same size but diferent colors for the main bag part. and I sewd them togeter at the tops, then I did the side seams to make a bag!

Next I cut a piece of the same fabric that is the inside of the bag and made the ruffle. I just basted it, gatered it and then sewed it on to the bag.

Then I made the strap. My strap was about the same thickness as my ruffle. one side of the strap I sewed to the back side of the bag and the other side I tied in a bow and handsewed it to the top of the ruffle.

This Is how the strap should look.

Then I pulled the bottom corners in and sewed them.


Sorry This isn't a verry discriptiv picture!!

And then....YOUR FINNISHED!!!!

I really like it!! I also think It would make a good scripture case!
