DIY--Crocheted Pattern Weights


About a week ago I came across a Google+ post from www.thezenofmaking.com about crocheting around ordinary washers that you can purchase from your local hardware store.  I knew as soon as I saw them I wanted to do the exact same thing to my plain old boring washers.  What stinks now is my future posts of projects I have taken pictures of with the weights on the pattern, don't have the nice bright colors of yarn on them.

I have not crocheted anything in over two years, but I quickly realized that it is just like riding a bike.  Once you have learned how to do it, you really never forget.  You may need a quick refresher on the different types of stitches, but it all comes rushing back.


 I purchased my washers from Lowes Home Inprovement Store about 2 months ago. They weren't expensive.  I want to say about 35 Cents a piece. I only purchased 10.



  I may have to purchased more because I had so much fun crocheting.




I used Lily's Sugar 'n Cream 100% Cotton Yarn.  It was purchased from Joann Fabrics some time ago.  I used to make dish clothes and place mats with this yarn.

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...
