a little bit of sewing for a change

I love painting and ceramics...but sometimes its good for me to do something different.  I've really enjoyed my sewing machine lately and thanks to some of my blogger friends, came up with these creations:


Dana at Dana-made-it has an awesome tutorial on these cute summer/spring/whenever ruffled scarves.  They are GREAT for gifts and really easy for beginners!  Check out the tutorial!




The idea for these Romantic Ruffled Bracelets came from Beverly at Flamingo Toes...check out the tutorial which is also super easy!  Thanks Beverly!


This is a frame a painted and antiqued with a flower made out of muslin.  I used the same idea for the flower that Beverly gave in her tutorial...except I added some embroidery thread around a hand-made ceramic bead.  So fun!





Did you know that when melted, polyester fabric makes awesome ruffled petals that make a cute flower?            I got this idea from Angela on her post about creating Floppy Flowers.  You have to check it out!

I would love for you to share your sewing creations!  Always looking for more great ideas:-)

Happy Monday everyone!
