Week 2 Crafty Sewing Mamas' Sew-along: Suggestions Needed!

We are now in Week 2 of the Crafty Sewing Mamas' Sew-along. Our project this week is to make something for Valentine's day or a pair of PJ pants. I am leaning more towards doing something for Valentine's day, but I need some suggestions please!!


Some ideas that I came up with, but am not sure on yet are:
-Handmade Valentine cards (scraps of fabric sewn on cardstock)
-Heart pillows
-Valentine's day shirts for my boys

Ok, that's a short list.  What do you think I should make?


Thanks in Advance!

Week 1 Crafty Sewing Mama's Sewalong - Complete!

I was finally able to sit down and make my crochet hook case for the Crafty Sewing Mamas' Sewalong! I was originally going to make THIS type of case. But in the mail today I received a fabric order, including a scrap grab bag from The Quilt Shoppe. In my bag of scraps was this most BEAUTIFUL fabric that I just had to use. So I made this instead.

 And it's all for me!  I love being able to make stuff for me!  Check out all of the finished projects at our Linky Party!

Crafty Sewing Mama's Sewalong

Woo hoo! Back to blogging! I know, I do that a lot...leave, come back, leave, come back. My blog and I have a torrid love affair going on here. But alas, I am back.

AND I am back because I am taking part of a Sewalong! A group of people from an online board from Babycenter has decided to create a Sewalong. I am SO excited to be a part of it!


YAY! We even have our own logo! It was created by Cheryl of Cheryl's Creative Crafts.

Our first task is to create either a sewn crochet case or a sewing machine cover. I am going with the crochet case as my sewing machine has a nifty hard case cover already. I just have to pick the perfect fabric and pattern...I did already make one a week ago for a friend's daughter. I'll post that picture for now. But I still plan on making one for me!





Happy Sewing!
