June Extras

Here are some extra projects that got done in June that were not on my Goals list:
 
Stephanie gave me her scrap of jersey from her maxi shirk she made back at the Sewing Summit (fun class!). I made it into a comfy top. You can wear it with a belt to dress it up for going out, or wear it by itself for an around the house top, OR tie up a corner and wear it over a leotard or dance top and dance away !

Crapola!~

I just sent the giveaway package off to someone other than it was intended for! I e-mailed them both to figure out what to do.
 
Having you wisdom teeth pulled out on Wednesday and trying to do business 3 days later does not work well....

Camp Stitchalot Bag: Tested!

I tested this pattern for Sara at Sew Sweetness.
 
This is a great bag. It has lots of pocket (I love pockets! Who doesn't?). I uses fabric from Joann's (I am so bad, I never look at the designer or line), all I know is that it is lovely! It was fairly easy to stitch up though there were lost of layers to sew through at one point.
 
I am keeping it next to the sofa where I do all my hand-crafts, and storing said crafts inside :)

Also thinking of making a smaller version for a travel case for crafts/cosmetics. Credit to Sara of course :)

Summer Giveaway 3 of 4

On to the 3rd Summer Giveaway!
 
The third Box to go is filled with Quilty type stuff. Again, just a bunch of random stuff (if you win and don't like what you got I will not be offended if you toss it out or re-giveaway it. I just can't stand to toss stuff out if there is even a chance it could be used. But you can!).
 
I will also probably be adding to the box up until it goes out
