Shower Power....First project I finished!

So I guess what I will be trying to do is start from the bottom with the first project I completed before I started my blog and work my way up to present day.  I wish I had pictures of my progress as I was trucking along,  but I don't.

So the first project I finished is a shower curtain that was inspired by one of my favorite magazines Sew It All. I have been collecting this magazine since its first publication in 2010. This magazine is from the editors of Sew News.

In Volume 7 of Sew It All there is a home decor project called Shower Power.  When I saw it I immediately fell in love with it and said I have to try it. I'm not sure if it was the color that I loved or if it was how easy the project looked to finish. I pretty much stayed with the green family though. Soo...off I went with my daughter to my local Joann Fabrics to pick out my fat quarters.  She was a great help!! This is the project that made me want to continue sewing everyday even after it was finished.

This curtain was finished on January 10th, 2014
I have yet to hang it up in my bathroom.  I was waiting for this spring when I can redecorate my bathroom.

Even though it was fairly easy it did take a lot of effort and thread...lol! Geez....it took me two days just to figure out where I wanted the blocks to be positioned!! 

I am extremely proud of myself for finishing it!!


Until Next Time ✌

DIY -- Hello Kitty Scrub Top -- OOTD

DIY - Hello Kitty Scrub Top What I Wore Today  Fabric from Joann Fabrics  I'm not sure if you can buy this particular print online, but I did see it in a few of their retail stores.  I used Wrights Extra Wide Double Fold Bias Tape accent the pockets and around the top.  If you haven't read my About Me page yet, I state that I work full-time in the medical field.  I don't have to wear scrubs all the time, but when I want to be comfortable it's my go to option!!  I was tired of seeing the same scrub tops I was wearing that day on other co-workers in the hospital and smiling at each other because we didn't know what else to say. I felt like I was in People Magazine on the "Who Wore It Better" page. So I decided to start making my own tops!!  This is the 2nd scrub top that I have ever made.  The first one I made ended up being a complete bust (My Failure) and I never took a pic of it.  I definitely learned for my mistakes (M...

Scrub - A - Dub Sunday!! DIY - Scrub Tops

DIY - Scrub Sunday!! I buckled down and add four more scrub tops to my work wardrobe.  I did this really for two reasons. 1) I like how easy and fast it is for me at this moment, very calming and non-stressful sewing! 2) I enjoy the compliments I get from my co-worker for having original scrub tops! If you have not read my Fabric Haul 2 post, please check it out.  There you will find a description of all the fabric I used for these scrub tops.   Fabric Haul 2 My son decided that he wanted to draw all over my pocket template. To learn more about the Ideal Seam Guide that I use while sewing, check out my   Tool I Can't Live Without Post It seemed easier for me to just cut all the fabric out and just sew everything at once. The only thing that was time consuming on these scrubs was changing the thread to match the color of the bias tape being used. The finished products!! So happy!! Can't wa...
