Anna's Kitchen Curtains!

Anna asked me to make some kitchen curtains for her new house. I haven't sewn anything in awhile, and even though curtains are pretty simple I was a little nervous about getting the measurements right and doing the cuts. I think they came out ok, I can't wait to see them hanging up!

UPDATE: Here is the finished product hanging up in the kitchen!

Table Skirt for Cash Wrap

I also made a table skirt for the shop, from a piece of fabric from Ikea. It has a lot of birds on it and is in our colors. I thought it came out pretty good, seeing as how I was winging it. Sewing is not my strong suit.

Yoga Mat Bags

This is the yoga mat bag that I made for my granddaughter Skye. This is also the first chance I've gotten to use the "handmade by Carol Boldman" tags that Mary got me for Christmas.

Basket Liner

I got this basket from mom. I lined it with duck cloth and am using it for my stash of leftover yarn balls. Another thing to remember mom by.

Akira's Crate Cover

This is my grand-dog, Akira (a Papillon). Isn't he a cutie? He has recently had some medical problems, which caused him to have to stay in his crate, to keep him immobilized. So I made him this crate cover to keep the light out and so that he doesn't get so distracted by every movement.

The front flap has velcro on the sides to keep it closed.

I was very proud of myself over the hole in the top. I figured out how to use the buttonhole foot on my sewing machine to make a big hole for the handle. Then I added a flap to cover the hole.

Anna's Pillows

These zippered pillow covers I made for Anna. She picked out the green fabric at Jo-Ann's, and then we found the print fabric in the remnant pile at IKEA.  I got some help from a book called so easy...Home Sewing, by Caroline Smith.  They were pretty fast and easy.

Aiden's Weighted Blanket

This blanket for my grandson Aiden. I finished the bean bags that go in between the two layers in a checkerboard pattern. They are laying on the back of the blanket.

The finished blanket, front and back! You can see the bumps from all the little bean bags. It's very heavy - about 5.5 pounds.

He seems to like it! Yay!

Aiden's Tunnel

This is the fabric tunnel I made for my 4 year old grandson Aiden. He loves the feel of the different textures. 

The tunnel.

Where's Aiden?

Ta-da!

Mary's Clown Costume

I made this for my daughter Mary, who is starting a new career as a clown for kids' parties.
