Car Seat Cover

I love reading crafting blogs and learning about new sewing projects.  This one is from Cluck Cluck Sew and is such a great idea.  Not only do I enjoy the cute pattern, but the cover allows my son to be protected from wind and rain as well as strangers at the store.  Check out the cluck cluck sew blog for the pattern instructions.

Zipper Wallets

I wanted to make some homemade gifts for my family and so I decided to make cute wallets.  Adding zippers to wallets and finishing off the inside seams makes the project it look more professional. These were from a pattern from Atkinson Designs and a lot of fun to make.

Cell Phone Sleeping Bags

I just got a new sewing machine for Christmas which I'm really excited about.  It has 60 stitch patterns and a control to regulate the sewing machine.  Since I was excited to test out my new machine, my brother asked me to make a cover for his iPhone and the only fabric we had lying around were old t-shirts.  So I used parts of t-shirts for the outside design and inside lining and made them into protective covers for cell phones.  I'm excited about this project because I didn't get it from a pattern but just played around with my machine until I got it to be the right fit for the phone.

Footprint Ornament

For our son's first Christmas, I thought it would be a nice gift for the grandmothers to have a footprint ornament.  Of course, I made one for our tree as well.  I just bought glass ornaments for $1 at Ben Franklin and used red paint for the footprints.  Besides the ornaments, I had the other supplies already making this a very cost effective project.
