Craft Corner

I thought it would be fun to share images and stories of the crafts we are working on.

My current project is some pajama pants I'm making for my sister for Christmas. I found some great Amy Butler fabrics at a cute little fabric store in my area, and I couldn't resist!

The body of the pajamas will be this fabric:

And the drawstring, pockets, and piping (haven't decided just yet if I want to do this) will be in this fabric:

I'm going to get started now and post photos when I'm done.

What are you working on?

I've been handmaking cards to send to the hubs overseas.

I am knitting a scarf and a hat right now, they do not match though.

I'm really surprised there aren't more crafty people around here. Oh wells...

I just finished crocheting a baby blanket and am currently knitting a scarf. I'm teaching myself how to learn all the stitches so most of the gifts this year art practice pieces. I'll have to take pictures when I finish the scarf...although it's nothing fancy.

4. Detail of the flourish

All of the letters were done freehand and the flourishes were made from a stencil.

I just finished my first pillow. It isn't stuffed, but it is cute. I made it from a pattern and it was time consuming.

I also finished my first hat. I love it.

Both things are for sale in my store: Etsy :: SarahtheAmazing :: Sarah Makes Things
