Introducing… Treasure Buddy!

April 25, 2015 by Jennifer 1 Comment

I am so excited to share my new product line with you!  One night, I realized that my little boy loved bringing his little treasures to bed. He would bring little erasers, coins, toy figures, whatever he could get his hands on! My husband would ask him to please put his treasures on his nightstand before…

April 6, 2012 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

I made this blanket using templates cut out from the Cricut “Create a Critter” cartridge.  Although I did not use the Cricut to cut the fabric itself, I traced the paper cut outs onto ironed on Pellon “Wonder Under” fusible web. To see INSTRUCTIONS, click Continue Reading.

Leather Ivy Clutch

October 8, 2011 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

I love this little leather clutch! It was made using the Poopy Clutch Tutorial written by Melissa Esplin on her blog ISLY.  I also really like how she has a couple of different versions of the clutch, including a scalloped edge and sewn fabric versions.  Melissa actually was the one who first brought me over to…

Fabulous Flowers 7: Scrap Trim Daisy

October 7, 2011 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

This shows some of the true power of repurposing.  This scrap was only a couple of inches long, but that was all that I needed! Instead of going to the landfill it is now a fun little flower.  There were tons of things like this at FabMo and I have a great new little stash…

Fabulous Flowers 6: Pleated Fabric Orchid

October 7, 2011 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

I guess I am on a flower making spree! These flowers were also made using fabric found at FabMo. I thought that the coordinating pleated fabric added a nice texture and the center small pearl adds a nice shine.  This pattern also uses a Sizzix Big Kick, but I used the “Fabric Layers #2” die. …

Baby Booties

October 1, 2011 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

These are the cutest litte baby booties!  I chose to do a leather sole (which in my opinion was a little bit of a pain to sew) made from some scrap leather that I had from a previous project.  If I make them again I think I will just do a fabric sole–it would probably…

September 30, 2011 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

“Nuno Felting,” which is also known as “Laminate Felting” is a process where the silk fibers of a scarf are felted together with wool roving.  I found out that it definitely takes a lot of elbow grease!  However, the outcome is very interesting and unique.  The first blue scarf was made with wool on both…
