Some Sewing For Fun

I still have plenty of scraps left over from decorating Charis' nursery, and I'm keen on using them up. So I thought I'd share my projects with you.

First off I made some Hair Clippy Caddies for her clips, but left off the pockets. So they are less of a caddy and more of a hanger only. I made two of them using two of the fabrics, and caught the loops over knobs on a lattice coat rack. The other knobs I'm using to hang her headbands and ponytail holders.

With the smaller scraps I'm piecing together some large pillows so that Charis will have some cushions for her floor. I used a strip of the panel print and filled in the rest of the pillow top with a grid of rectangles. Once it was all sewn together I trimmed the square down to 22". The pillow form I'm using is 24" square, so I cut the cover 2" smaller to make sure the fit is good and tight. Now all I need to do is find a nice coordinating solid to make the envelope back for the pillow cover, and then I'll be all done! I'll post some more photos once they are done and I get her room clean enough for photos!

Happy Wednesday! Amy

Deal of the Week, May 18-24

Love to have organized hair clips and baubles? Need an easy way to access your hair accessories without having to dig to look for matching sets? Then the SewArtsy Hair Clippy Caddy is for you! And this week you can get one free with the purchase of any 2!

The Hair Clippy Caddy gives you 17" in length to attach clips of many different kinds - use both sides and that's 34"! Three roomy pockets allow you to store barrettes, pony tail holders, bobby pins, and other accessories that don't clip. Keep it all within reach by hanging it from a nail, hook, doorknob or bedpost. It works great in the bathroom or the bedroom - wherever you keep your hair clippies.

My buy 2 get 1 free offer is good at SewArtsy and SewArtsyBethany, so check out the selection available for immediate shipment. This week's deal is also good on custom orders, so if you'd like a different fabric from what you see already made, just inquire and I'll work with you to find a fabric to your liking!
