Tester Pattern 1 Revealed Cloth and Caboodle

 These cute Fraser shorts are part of a new Spring / Summer release on May 12th from Cloth and Caboodle. My granddaughter loves how comfy they are.They were pretty easy to sew until I got to the binding.  Not as easy for a new sewist but I got it done it may not be perfect but they are cute and comfy.

Be Trendy

 Today I got to make a Be Trendy Halter Top.  I was surprised at how easy it was to make.  I used a mystery bundle of fabric from Walmart as a muslin.  (sample make to test the fit)   My brother came over and he said that my top did not even look handmade.  Thats an awesome compliment.  It fits really good and is very comfortable. 

The Be Trendy Halter Top is a free pattern offered by  Ellie & Mac.  Every week E&M have a Wacky Wednesday sale where a few patterns are marked at a sale price of $1.  Each Monday the patterns change that are on sale.

I just finished another test pattern.

 And I cant wait until I am able to share it with you.. It looks like the designer is going to release them all together as a mix and match type thing.  But they are cute.  I just cant wait.  That is five pieces so far that I have tested and theres more that I didnt test. 

 I am enjoying sewing.  I cant wait to make myself some cute shirts.  My goal is to make myself a one of a kind hoodie to replace my old one that I keep wearing that is falling apart.  I just havent found "that" fabric that I am looking for yet.  When I see it I will know.  Plus Im getting experience sewing other items now.

Macrame Shelf Part1

 Well months ago my daughter sent me a picture of a macrame shelf.  So I finally decided to try a diy version.  I was gonna to try to copy it  but decided to figure out my own version copying a copy of different youtube videos.  

So far I have come up with this. I am not sure what I want to do with the bottom of the middle piece yet.  And there will be two side pieces on each side.
