As promised, I am going to share with you some of the crafts that I have been working on lately since I finally got some of them finished.
My first project to share is this pot holder. I didn't have a pattern for this but it was easy enough. The hardest part was putting the edging on but I'm still happy with it.
Here we have this bath rug that I knitted. This was such a fun one to make! I bought the cheap sheets at Ikea, ripped them into long pieces and put them together to make a big ball of "yarn". I want to make another one that is a little bit bigger and maybe dye the sheets a different color.
This is a bag that I sewed. I LOVE the fabric but the pattern I found online was a little confusing at the beginning. I definitely want to make it again with a little bit longer bag and a skinnier strap.
The inside is a yellow polka dot and it has a pocket.
This is still in the making, but it is a scarf I have been knitting. It is taking a while, so hopefully it will be done by next winter.
The other side.
And this is the one I am most excited about! It is a makeup bag and I LOVE the fabric I picked for it. It was so easy to make and fits my makeup perfectly.
The best part is the inside fabric!
A closer look at the lining fabric.
So that's it for now. I am having so much fun with my new sewing machine and I am continuing to love knitting!
Yeahhhh go girl!!! Nice cable stitch on the bath mat and I LOVE the makeup case fabric... very Vera Bradley!!
