Quilt Style Purse

Hi everyone!

Today I have some pictures of a purse I sewed a few days ago.  I cut an old shirt into the shape I wanted, sewed felt on the back of each piece and sewed a quilted design onto the felt.  Then I sewed the pieces together, added 2 pockets, a button, a hande, and a small strip of fabric to button the purse closed. 

Let me know how you think it turned out!

Crocheted Bible Case

Hi Everyone!

Here are some pictures of one of the Bible cases I have crocheted.  I used Vanna's Choice yarn and a size G hook for this project. 

This was a very simple crochet project.  All you have to do is make a chain long enough to fit along the cover of your Bible, HDC in each row until you have a good fit, sew the sides together and add handles, a button, and a strap to go over the button. 
Have a wonderful day!
God Bless!

Crochet Barbie Clothing

Hi Everyone!

Today I'm posting photos of some Barbie doll clothing that I crocheted a while back. 
The first is a pink dress with white trim and the second is a white shirt with green trim.  Both of these items were crocheted using Red Heart crochet thread. 

I really enjoyed making these--I especially like the shirt.  Let me know what you think!

Crochet Duckling

Hi Everyone!

Today I'm sharing a picture of a crocheted duck that I worked up this evening. 
I made a very simple body and just added the details.  I am going to try and share a pattern sometime this weekend for the body.  I really like how the shape of the body turned out because you can change it into any animal that you'd like.  I'm thinking about making some bunnies using this pattern when I get the chance. 

Watch for a pattern sometime soon and let me know what you think!

God Bless!

Crochet Jar

Hi Everyone!

I had a jar I kept at my desk to hold small items, but I didn't really like the look.  I thought I could add a little color to the jar by crocheting over it. What do you think?

Let me know what you think!
