Amigurumi Elephant

I can’t believe it’s been over a year since I blogged last and I apologize! I’ve completely lost my sewing mojo but have rediscovered the knitting bug and although it’s not quilting, I am creating fabric. It can be a slow process but with small projects, it can be quick and fun as well.

I’ve been knitting and crocheting little amigurumi figures and have designed a generic, all-in-one, top down bundle of goodness myself.

I’ve taken a sock knitting class on Craftsy by Lucy Neatby and knit socks for my husband and myself as well as brioche scarves for a friend and my Mother-in-law. There are a ton of new techniques I’ve never heard of like knitting two pairs of socks on one set of circular needles and the “magic ring” in both knitting and crocheting.

Stay tuned if you wish, more to come.

Over a MONTH!

Holy crap, it’s been over a month since I posted last and I don’t even have anything of my own to show you!

However, I did want to share with you another Michelle Patterns $5 Friday yummy!

How cute is this?! I think I have to add this bag to my collection!

If you’re interested in my real life — outside sewing — it’s going great! I’m walking anywhere from 3 to 6 dogs a day and sitting dogs almost every weekend, it’s fun to have a new pup come and live with us for a few days! All have been wonderful!

I’m dreadfully behind in my bee contributions and profusely apologize to my bee mates, I promise I’ll get back behind the sewing machine soon!

Document Envelope & Tablet Sleeve

We’re back today with a couple more Michelle Patterns’ $5 deals; a Document Envelope  combined with the Tablet Computer Sleeve pattern pieces for the $5 Friday special this week.

Both of these documents are “Just Pattern Pieces” (no instructions) for those of you who already know how to sew them.  These are simple pouches and the same construction as many of my other patterns.

The Document Envelope is a big pouch designed for carrying files, paperwork, magazines, etc.

The Tablet Computer Sleeves are simple pouches for iPads, other tablet computers, or whatever else you can think to store inside.

Both documents are available together for $5, or you can order the files individually.

“Billy”

All affiliate proceeds till the end of May will be donated to LotsaDogs Rescue. I will be participating in their Six Legged Hike taking place on Saturday, May 25th, it’s an 8km hike and I’ll be walking Billy, a super sweet Saint Bernard, Boxer mix who is looking for a great home.
