This week in sewing..

I had a lot of fun this week after I put the kids down to bed.  B is busy cramming for some exams and so I have a couple of hours each night to sit at the sewing machine and create. 
It was teacher appreciation week at Emma's school, so I bought this bag at dollar tree and monogrammed an E on it for her, her first name also begins with an E!

I also, made this skirt and monogrammed and E on it as well.  This is my least favorite of the skirts that I have made, but it gets the most compliments for some reason.  (It's super wrinkled, sorry).  If you are interested in a tutorial, it's over at made.





I also started sewing these wrist bands/bracelets for Emma and I.  I got the idea from here.  They are different, I think that is why I like them, and they are obviously custom made so they fit perfectly.  It's fun to have Em and I match, she calls them friendship bracelets, I think that's darling.















Hopefully I will have some new projects to fill my oodles of spare time this week!  That was sarcastic, I'll see what I can come up with.

LOVE these bracelets! I might have an excuse to dust off my sewing machine! :) Seeing these posts makes me really miss, and leaves me feeling very sad that my days with young kiddos at home are behind me.
