one yard wonders...

Lately i have been doing some projects out of this book. i received it as a christmas gift from my mom and i love it! she gave all her kids and g.kids books and this one is definitely one of my favorites that i own and every project only takes one yard!!

go here to get it

i don't know about in your home but in mine our laundry room is tiny. like a closet tiny. this is very common in Apt. living so you do what you can. i personally hate having to go to a separate room to throw away laundry trash. even if that room is just a couple feet away. call me crazy! so i took a pattern from OYW and adapted it to make a trash bag for the laundry area. then i stamped the word Trash on it and finished it of by embroidering around the letters. a grocery bag fits nicely inside and i just tie it up when it needs to go to the garbage. 

i have also made this guy from OYW to organize my coupons, grocery list and budgeting papers and bills. i have yet to put titles on each segment but i really like the way it came out. 

lastly we needed some dog beds around here. yup you guessed it OYW to the rescue! i made differing styles for each dog because of their gender and of course personalities. i really like how they turned out. super easy and way cheaper than the $50 ones at the pet store.

 

what sewing creations have you been up to? heres hoping the sun is out where you live!! 

adios
