Scrappy Purses Anyone?

Lately I've been trying to make use of all the scrap/remnants I have left over and started making totes/purses with them.

This one is one that I'm still playing with as I have not finished the handles, but eventhough the design is cute I don't think it's very practical as the mouths' a little tight (but hey it has a nice round bottom to just throw your stuff in).

This one is one of my favorites, made with ruffles, flowers and yo-yos.

This tiny one is so cute with the bright colors! What I didn't know until I posted this is that they're All PERFECT FOR FALL!

I would love to soon post a tutorial for some of these but I'll see if I get any responses, I'm still trying to figure them out as best as possible.

Sewing Room (more like "section")

Who SEWS LIKE THIS??

We have a 3/2/2 house and this is suppose to be our dining room.
We have a big breakfast room with magnificent lighting that we just always seem to eat all our meals there, or maybe its' just that this space has "white" (yea--its suppose to be white but w/ 3 monkeys "idk" how it got this ugly color) carpet.
So, anyways I've just been storing my shop furniture in this corner and using my kitchen as my sewing room. Well my husband got tired of having everything laying on the kitchen table that he just organized this space for me this weekend, well it's only been a couple of days since I got my "fortress" and I can't believe I already made such a HUGE MESS!! Really Honestly, how did I do this???

Couldn't I just grab something and then put it nicely back up from where I got it?? Nope, because I always seem to be working on about 3 or more different crafts at the same time!!
I do promise to sometime SOON post pictures of HOW I ORGANIZED THIS ROOM.

dresses i've put together...

I've said over and over that I love to SEW..right?! Well I also believe in Refashioning clothes because theres' so much in this world already ~why not use some of our own resources..
This is made from my daughters old TCP jeans and some scrap material and buttons I had lying around the house.
I did buy this top at WalMart on clearance for $1 and then cut the birdie out of fabric with my Cricut.
Don't you just love the "blinged" out look with the Converse on your little girlie?
I do! Both my little one and my oldest have a pair I've made for them, my son has some too--but they're not embellished!
This is also recycled I would say, because originally this fabric was bought for tablecloths at my babyshower this past year when I finally decided to do something with it. Made one for the baby as well as for big sister...


hers of course had lots of tulle underneath...and yes they wore them with their Converse! I did get some help in making these..you see I love Sewing but I don't consider myself a professional--at least--just NOT YET...but here soon I will be! :)
