Duct Tape Dress Form

This is pretty cool!!! You can basically make a body double of yourself and then use it to fit patterns and stuff. Looks like you sacrifice an old t-shirt in the process, but who doesn't have an old t-shirt that could get recycled. Check it out!!! Way cheaper than a real dress form.

p.s. The husband in this cracks me up. He's trying to hard so do it all right! :)

Baptism towel

Made this for a friend's daughter...I photoshopped out the last name since this is a public blog. :)

I finally figured out how to use the "plus hoop" for my embroidery machine. It allows me to make longer designs. Anyways, I got the idea for the ruffle and band from a friend. (lest you think I am an original thinker. haha)

If you would like me to embroider something like this for you, let me know.

Changing Pad and Pocket


Here is the link to the changing pad and pocket I made.  It was really simple, especially if you swap the chenille for a coordinating towel.  This is a picture of the one I made.
