This is an awesome way to turn a tshirt into a faux Henley T, check it out!



On August 16th Melly sews will release the Blank Slate BASICS for boys and I for one am excited! There are 5* patterns that could really be the base for soooo many more. Also it will come in sizes 18 months to 8 years, cool right?
(I am not being compensated I am just excited)

And be sure to check out her series for boys that has been going on all month, seriously great boy ideas there!

* I realized I wrote the wrong amount it is actually 5 patterns not 3.

Easy quilt

My friend had a birthday and I wanted to make her something special so I tried an easy quilt.
 I should write a disclaimer that I am not a quilter, I do not like projects that take oodles of time and precision so this is my idea of a quilt.

 The blocks are semi appliqued on and stitched over to create a patched zigzag look.

 The edge of the quilt is serged for an even easier and unique finish.

 I then sewed in varying lines to "quilt" it.

My favorite part is actually the back where you can see the zigzags and the random lines better.

Please, please forgive my crappy pictures! My phone is the best I have right now until my new phone( or camera) arrives!
