I love sewing that much that I made myself this whimsical Christmas wreath! 🙂
I love sewing that much that I made myself this whimsical Christmas wreath! 🙂
It has pins, bobbins, yarn, buttons, fabric yoyo’s, sewing machine needles, embroidery floss, thread spool, chenille swatch, ribbon and handmade fabric ruffles!
And it’s hanging on my front door!
My hobby besides sewing is definitely crafting and that includes decorating. I recently came across an etsy shop called
Zzbob’s Creative Woodworking and they hand make beautiful shapes out of wood.
The following curvy frames just arrived at my house and now they are waiting to be turned into something beautiful! I also received something extra for a review!
Read what Pam and Bob say about their business:
“Bob loves to work with wood but he also loves trees, so we use lot of reclaimed wood. Then we purchase the rest from Forest Council certified suppliers.
We believe that with a little thought and effort, we can all have beautiful things without harming the earth. He loves to make “wood pictures”,an art form called Intarsia. He also does scroll work,wood puzzles, jewelry and keepsake boxes—you get the picture.
Pam loves to work with glass and tile, and sometimes we team up for some mixed media creations. If you are looking for something special, let us make it for you! We love getting orders for custom pieces. We like to help bring your ideas to life!”
My first step is to take on those frames and prime it. Stay tuned for the finished project!
Whimsy Couture’s newest sewing pattern is a cute and comfy knit beanie! You can also make it from stretchy fleece or minky!
The pattern comes with instructions on how to make the knit ruffles and flower as well!
Sizes: newborn through adults, girls & boys! You can’t go wrong with this wide range of sizing!
Template has nested sizing and cut line for lettuce edge hems or folded hems. A serger is only need for the lettuce edge hems!

A while back I made a reversible headscarf to go with my SCRAPPY TWIRL SKIRT pattern and today I want to share it with you!
Here’s what you want to do:
Cut 2 pieces of fabric (quilters cotton works best) in a triangle shape with the longest edge being 8″ and the 2 smaller edges being 7″ long for sizes up to 2t, sizes up to 6 would be 9x8x8 or to your liking) Place your 2 pieces with right sides together………..
Pn and sew the 2 shorter edges (I placed arrows)
Trim off pointy corner……………..
turn triangle inside out and trim off peeking out tips………….
Cut a 2×40″ strip of complementing fabric for the ties and make binding out of it by folding the long edges into the middle and press with iron:
Then fold strip once more………….
………this should now be your prepared binding:
Press triangle and place next to binding, matching both of the center:
Pin triangle to the right side of the binding’s print:
Sew along the dashed line which is slightly next to the crease:
This is how your sewn together pieces should look like:
Fold the binding over the triangle’s top edge and pin:
Fold in both binding’s ends to 1/4″
and refold binding so it looks like this:
Keep pinning entire binding and sew close to the open edge:
Backstitch beginning and end of both sides of binding (small edges) and now you should be done! Take a little girl and make her model for you:

….continueing baby girls’ room reno – see phase ONE here!
I bought these empty frames a while ago and painted them aqua and let some of the original color peek through: 
With my staple gun ready, I cut some fabric in zebra print to size to cover one of my frames backside. Fabric print facing down……….
……then I folded some of the fabric in and stapled it to the inside of the frame. There is a small ledge where normally the glass goes in……….
…….I continued like this and gently pulled the fabric straight to avoid any wrinkles or waves:
This is how my finished zebra artwork looks like now from the back:
And this how the “art wall” looks like so far done with just a few material for around $20. The picture frame on the left got a pretty Joel Dewberry print called AVIARY and the one on the right a crown applique made by me. The “J” is a half off purchase from Hancock Fabrics :
On the window side I made her a little reading nook with a thriftstore find of an aqua plush chair for $20, a handmade round ruffled pillow and a plushie in Scottie shape made by me (pattern available soon!)
Stay tuned for an update on her room!
Hi everyone! I am sorry there weren’t any posts in the past few days! Hope you all had a happy Halloween!
Whimsy Couture is wrapping up a new pattern which will be a vintage inspired cape with options! So stay tuned!
In the past two days I started decorating/redoing my daughter’s room and thought it would be fun to post the series here.
Besides sewing and a crafting I love painting and decorating but don’t get to do it very often. Or I should say, I don’t take the time to do it. After moving into our new home one year ago we lived with white walls since then. Recently we got around to having our kitchen/great room painted (yes, we hired someone to do it because that was so much wall space!).
This time I decided it was time to make my daughter’s room special. I wanted to be the one that painted it for her! I discussed colors with her and she loves aqua and zebra. So I chose a vibrant and warm color as the complimentary hue, CORRAL GOLD (from Behr). It’s beautiful and reminds me of being on vacation when I am in the room now.
Okay, let’s get started:
Here’s a picture of her room. Notice our little Jack Russell sitting on the bed?:)
picture of the other wall where I had already put up a wooden picture shelf. That made it now a bit harder to paint around with all that taping up but oh well!
Here’s a picture of right around lunch time………I ran out of paint in my tray so I took a (quick) lunch break!
HERE’S a picture of ONE finished wall! Not too bad! The glossy and shady spots are from the paint not being dry!;)
Stay tuned for more updates and pictures!!
The following 2 pictures are made with my Ruffled Neckline Dress pattern and both have a defined waist with several rows of elastic thread sewn in.
Isn’t my model so cute??:) …..pictures taken by a business friend.

Looking for a great way to extend the life of outgrown pants? This tutorial shows you how to add ruffles to pants to make rumba style!
The pants were made using my ruffle capris/pants pattern, I only added a pocket
Here’s what you need: sewing machine, thread, pins, lip edge ruler, cutter and a pair of outgrown ruffle pants:
If your little girl is like mine and is to skinny but tall her pants will soon be to short as these red corduroy ruffle pants
To convert them into cute Rhumba pants simply cut off the bottom hem:
Cut a strip of corduroy (or other coordinating fabric) to about 1.5 times the length of the existing ruffles and determine the wide according to your now needed inseam length. Fold down one side to 0.5 inch and press then fold down once more to 0.5 inch and press. Sew this hem in place. Now ruffle this strip with your machine (set tension to highest number and stitch length to longest setting and sew along the edge)
Pin ruffles to raw bottom hem as shown. Sew in place and serge/overcast the raw edges. Top stitch if desired
Her new Rhumba pants are done! Not too practical but a whole lot of fun!🙂
