Noodlehead clutch

 I'm off to the Endodontist this morning for a recheck on my root canal.  I had promised the assistant I would make her a little clutch. She likes little pink flowers so I used this adorable sheet and used Noodlehead's pattern again.

That was 3 weeks ago.  Guess what? Last night I started on it. I have a fractured wrist so I'll blame it on that. Although I've pretty much done what I wanted with this bum wrist. I go tomorrow for another xray.  Hope I can get this cast off.

Vintage Sheet Curtains

Just finished these curtains for my sewing room.  From a vintage sheet.  I had already made an ironing board cover. I think I'll use the rest to refinish my chairs. Just got tired of looking at ugly white blinds. What a nice change.

Diaper Bag for Ezra

This diaper bag is for my friend Jessica and her baby Ezra.  I know she loves owls (like me).  The owl is the same pattern as my apron my Mom made here.  I enlarged it to 125%.  The bag pattern is one of my favorites for diaper bags . I used it here when Jessica had her baby girl.  Inside is a thrifted sheet which I just love. Outside is Amy Butler Passion Lilly.  I've had it for a year and just now using it. I didn't get to go to her shower yesterday.  Hope she likes it.

Wristlet Bag

 I just made this cute little bag from sew a straight line blog. She has a great tutorial with the pattern and detailed instructions.  Very easy to make. I used some vintage sheet scraps and added a little vintage lace. It's great for a cell phone and small wallet. Just the necessities.

Jessica's Apron

 Ruby is modeling an apron I made for my friend Jessica. She wanted this vintage sheet with ruffles, lace and anything else I wanted to add.  Ruby wants one exactly like it only a dress.

 Jessica doesn't know it yet, but I just had to make one for her little Charleigh Rose. I think she'll love it too.

New Purse added to my shop

This weekend I made this burlap purse for my etsy shop.  I visited a friend at Sugar Ride Creations and found some awesome burlap and vintage quilt pieces.  She still has lots of it. She has an etsy shop and also sells from her business located in Spring Hill, TN. Go by and visit when your in the area.

My new ironing board cover from a sheet

I found this amazing Rowenta ironing board at Goodwill for $4.99. The cover was a very stained white.

Here's the new one.  I used this beautiful sheet (probably not vintage, but I love it). I just measured the old one and added about 2 inches all round.  Turned it under and sewed  for casing, then added the string that was inside the original.

Crib mattress and sheets

My friend Angie's husband made a baby crib and needed a mattress for it.  I use 1 inch form 35.5 x 21. Then covered it with rubber sheeting and added a zipper to take off and wash. The foam and sheeting is so expensive. I couldn't believe it. Glad I had two 50% off coupons, but still too high.

Then I made her 2 sheets, because I thought it was an odd size. Turns out I had 2 little vintage clown sheets that fit perfect. I had sheeting and fabric left over so I made her 2 lap covers. Turned out pretty good.

Founds lots of vintage sheets and pillowcases

I have found the most amazing sheets this week. All of these sheets were at the same Goodwill store.

 I love the beautiful floral with the sunflowers.  I had this in a pillowcase once and made a bag.

 Never had the pink or the green below.

 Never had any of  these 3 sheets before.

AI found 6 pillowcases at another Goodwill store. The yellow floral at the bottom is my favorite. I had a sheet once in it, but was faded.

New sheets, my new (old) planter and SMS winning

Since I've used so many sheets on my new quilt I just had to buy some more. These 2 were .99 each and the pillowcase was .99.

I had seen a swan planter just like this one at an antique store and it reminded me that my Mom had one when I was little.  She said "I think I still have it.  It's in the smokehouse and very dirty and maybe even cracked".  I said "I don't care if it's cracked or dirty.  I want it.".  So here it is with some lovely ivy she gave me.  She said her Mom gave it to her. I remember it sitting on the coffee table with  a philodendron plant inside.  My aunt on my Dad's side also has this swan. 

 I won this lovely fabric on Sew Mam Sew giveaway. Thanks Christy at Hopeful Threads.

My new vintage sheet quilt

I've been working on my king size quilt all week.  Now I'm ready to start quilting.  I made it from 12" squares.  The backing is 4 sheets cut to fit.  I wanted them really big so it wouldn't take as long to finish.  These are my very favorite sheets. I love them all. A few of the squares I swapped with Lani at Create. Can't wait to finish.

Thrifting Again

These thrifty finds are from the past few weeks of thrifting. Maybe finding one here and there.

 Loving the blue sheet.  I will include it in my new quilt I'm making for my bed.

 One cute blue pillowcase.

 This is my favorite. Twin fitted and top sheet.

4 adorable hankies never been opened.  They have yellowed some.

 I'll be selling this Holly Hobbie embroidery pattern.

Making this nightgown for me.  Someday.

Thanks for stopping by.

Estate Sale Finds

Found these adorable pillowcases at an estate sale Friday.

 Got 2 of these.

 This beautfiul sheet still in the bag. Love it.

 Card table tablecloth. Amazing.

5 of these little fire king bowls.

Polka-Dot dress for a chair

Finally finished this polka dot dress for a chair I painted white.  This is for Layla and Ruby's desk in their room.  I had seen one in an antique store back in October and really wanted to try it myself.  It's made from a thrifted sheet and scrap fabrics. There was a lot of trial and error involved.  But in the end it turned out just the way I wanted.
