SEW What's New?

Sew A Little Happiness

I'm teaming up with my sister to bring you a NEW blog filled with Creative ENERGY!

Meet My Sister..Annette

(My sister is the third chick from the left, the other three chicks are her daughters, my cute nieces.)

Annette has taught me a lot about quilting and sewing in the past four years.

Annette started sewing in High School and has been sewing ever since.

I use to wait in the car when Annette would shop at quilt stores.

Now we tear up the Wasatch Front every summer attending Shop Hop!

Annette has always inspired me with her talent,

she has helped me to be where I'm at today in my world of sewing.

When we SEW, we laugh, we joke, we sing, we cry,

we unpick, we reminisce,

we eat, we drink(she drinks water, I drink Pepsi) and be merry!

We have the best of times.

To kick off our excitement of our new BLOG- we are passing along

some LOVE and GIVING!

 For the next three weeks, we will have a give away at
Sew A Little Happiness!

February 14TH will be our first Give Away!

Come along and check out the details HERE!

You will LOVE the Giveaways!

Friends Are Fun!

Welcome!

"Friends are fun!"

 Brought to you by my seven year old daughter.

I love the patterns/detail on the girl's dresses!

I so agree with her drawing. 

Friends give us warmth, sunshine, and smiles!

It's also great to look CUTE with your friends!

Who doesn't love polka dots, stars and hearts?

Speaking of hearts....I'm back with another

  Valentines apron(look familiar), one that matches

the reversible children's apron created from a kitchen dishtowel!

This one is created for my miracle daughter, my sweetheart, my friend,

who reminds me daily that

Life is Fragile.

I will share a few simple details on how to make it.

 For added length:  I added fabric to the dishtowel, which is your bodice front.

 1. Measure the desired length of your apron.

2. Measure the width of your dishtowel, cut bodice front accordingly.

(The width is 18 inches, the length of my bodice front is 12 inches.)

(My daughter is equal to a size 14/16 children's size)

If you want a larger apron you can add fabric to the sides of your dishtowel.

3.  Sew bodice front to dishtowel, right sides together.

4. For Reversible apron, lay apron on top of coordinating reverse fabric.

5. Cut your reverse side out, and set aside.

6. Make a band that slips easily over the heard from coordinating fabric

 (see directions for children's apron).

7. Pin your Rick Rack trim(optional) first to the right side of your bodice front.

8. Place band upside down on your apron front as shown.

9. Place reverse side of fabric on top, right sides together-- sew and press.

10. Your apron will look like the picture shown.

(If you want your rick rack on the front of the band, place it first, band second)

11. Make fabric ties for your apron

12.  Place Fabric ties between front and back of apron at the waist of apron or

where you are comfortable with your ties.

13.  Sew right sides together(front and back apron)

14. Leave a opening at the bottom of apron hem.

15. Turn hem under and sew.

 (The dishtowel shown was purchased with the eyelet trim.)
