This is my month-iversary with my JUKI sewing machine that I received from my boyfriend for Christmas 2013. It has really brought great joy to my life and I've learned a lot about not only myself, sewing, but about the blogging world.
I've learned that sewing machines are a lot more complicated and particular than I was ever aware of. Apparently my boyfriend knew more about them than I did (he's an engineer and uses them...

Fresh updates! Feat. chair slipcover (glitter and at-home car spa as bonus)
So in one of my first posts, I mentioned that I had a project I wanted to do that concerns this office chair below.
This office chair is a massage office chair. Yes, I realize that sounds nice and all... but it's annoying. Especially, for making slip covers because it is not symmetrical and the massage-remote sticks way out on one side of the chair. I tried disassembling this. I took apart this side...

By Feiery: Fabric Labels
Iron/Sew on printable fabric labels:
So I bought some Avery Printable Fabric for Inkjet from Amazon two days ago...
I love that they are washable and so versatile! To my surprise, I recently received an "order" for the purse I made recently. This inspired me to start making labels, some of which may be personalized for specific people, to iron or sew onto the products! Even if they're just things I'm keeping at home and...

Pleated Purse: Flying Away
First bag turned out successful!
Took 1 hour to cut fabric and fuse the fleece interface and 2 hours to sew! It would have probably been quicker had I had a better handle for what the tutorial was saying...
This is the tutorial, it's super easy!
Here are a few snapshots of the some of the various steps.
Pieces cut // Marking Pleat Location // Clipped and Pinned pleats
Sewed Band pieces to bag part 1 // Band pieces attached...

All that glitters: Pillow Edition
Glitter makes a day so much better.
Pillow 1:
So as alluded to in the previous post, I have this cylinder pillow from IKEA (years ago) that came with a red and white striped cover. It really just reminds me of a candy cane. I had plenty of white flannel with gold polka dots, the same pattern I used to make my neck pillow cover.
I was not sure what I'd really do with all the flannel I have given that it is pretty stretchy...

Reorganizing Glovebox: Baby Fiat edition
I've had my Fiat for nearly two years now. For nearly two years I've had this problem:
I don't keep a whole lot of things in the glovebox... partly because it isn't very big (7" wide in the back, 6" deep...appropriate for my tiny car) so things constantly spill out whenever I open it which is rather frustrating. In addition, the glovebox is shaped funny. It's not a symmetrical shape inside, it's doesn't even...

It's Here! Foxy Bow Pillow Cover Tutorial
Foxy Bow Pillow Cover
So I recently purchased these from Fabric.com:
Riley Blake Enchant Birds // Michael Miller Waterfront Park Flight // Michael Miller Backyard Baby Birch Forest Aqua
Modern Meadow Dogwood // Timeless Treasures Mini Foxes Gold
As mentioned in the previous post, the fabrics and the method in creating the pillow cover had whether or not it was washable in mind. I am very particular about having things...
