Super cute :))

It's amazing to me that I only just a few short weeks ago started using my sewing machine! My head is brimming with fabric, patterns and ideas for projects!!

Anyhoo this is my latest creation :)). Super cute Seattle Seahawks half apron! In all honesty I just might make these available for purchase with various teams by request! I'll keep y'all posted!










I am a football fanatic and I rep my home team all day! Initially I thought I ordered fleece for a completely different project but figured this would work well for the apron.

This is my first so going forward I'll know what adjustments to make! Hope y'all have a great weekend!

My latest passion :)

If you follow me on FB, Instagram or Twitter...you may already know that I've been teaching myself how to knit and sew! Simultaneously...yes I know I can be a bit obsessive at times! I've got the bare basics of knitting down so now I'm focusing on using my new sewing machine.

I have a Brother LX2500, this is a super basic starter machine. It came with an instructional DVD that I found extremely helpful!




I'm not completely ignorant as far as sewing goes, my grandma bought my first machine years ago, I just wasn't truly interested in learning at the time. FML...I probably would have been BOSS by now! Ah well such is life!

Mmmkay so the main reason why I got inspired to really learn how to sew was THIS SKIRT!!! by Mimi G.



When I first laid eyes on it...I fell deeply...passionately in love *swoons*!!! Seriously it gave me life!!! I don't fall over clothes very often but this skirt is stalker worthy!! And yes I've been stalking Mimi G's blog ever since!! Her tutorials are dope, I actually feel like she's there helping!

I know she sold these skirts for a short period of time, but honestly I couldn't afford her price tag #TheStruggle

What to do???? Beg her??? Naw I wasn't going to do that SO imagine my delight when she posted a tutorial!!!!! *Faints*!!!! Next problem...I didn't have a sewing machine!!! I also didn't feel as though my sewing skill was proper enough to execute...but I received a machine for Christmas!!! Watch and wait!!!

Workspace

I was going to write this last week but....

Well anyway it didn't get done! I needed to create a workspace in my room and I didn't want to spend a lot of money! Off to Ikea I went!









I decided to alternate two black legs and two pink legs on the table! Those black boxes are from Ikea as well...perfect storage for materials!

The accents...






These up cycled tulle spools, wrapped with patterned paper made perfect holders for my tools!

I drooled over this project when I saw it on Pinterest! Coffee filter peonies = LOVE!



You can change the color of these with food coloring but for now they are still white. Two simple glass vases and rocks from the yard!!! Simple and cheap!



I didn't want to buy a new chair because I already had an office chair in a blah grey color. I had a maxi dress that has seen its days in the perfect shade of pink!

So I covered my boring chair with it lol! I plan to make a few nips and tucks but you get the idea!

So far I'm loving how it's coming together! Purple is my favorite color but hot pink is giving me life right now!

Oh and that fabulous painting? Courtesy of the hundreds I've received from my girls since I've been a mommy!
