Hostess with the Mostess

I made myself an apron pattern the other day out of muslin. Then I made a couple hostess aprons in some fun fabrics. The first one is for myself and the second one is for my etsy shop, with the hopes of more to follow.

Valentine fortune cookies

Made these last night for Valentine's Day. Cut 4.5 inch cirlces out of felt. Then, cut strips of 24 guage wire and and also ribbon, just shorter than 4.5 inches. With craft glue, glue the wire in the center of the circle and place ribbon on top. Allow to dry. Then fold in half at the wire and slightly bend the ends out to form a fortune cookie. I put two Hershey hugs inside along with a fortune and then stapled them in a small glassine bag.

Artsy clutch

Here's another sewing project that I made over the weekend. I was a bit confused by the directions, but with the help of google, we figured it out. ;) Idea was in Amy Karol's Bend the Rules Sewing book. Used Anna Griffin fabric and a button from my co-worker, Lori, who's been providing me with all kinds of sewing goodies.
