Make your own Hobo

This Teen loves the shape of a hobo, so we came up with a new pattern.  Girls can come in and choose  fabrics to design their own. Then choose to embellish with fabric flowers, lace and more. A great summer crush.

Hoot 2 times if you’re super cute…

 

 

 

This little pint of cuteness was an absolute perfectionist and turned out this super adorable hooting animal from our Kid’s Craft & Play section  His backside has a secret pocket for all sorts of treasures.

 

 

 

Your Weekend Playlist

As the weekend draws closer, it’s time to for that playlist that will get you through your daily activities. Take this little playlist, burn it onto a disc and play it in your car or just stream it right here while sewing some projects. These songs range from fresh-off-the-charts hits and old indie hits. Enjoy!

Pumped Up Kicks – Foster the People

Mushaboom – Feist

Ready to Start – Arcade Fire

Battery Kinzie – Fleet Foxes (they rock!!)

Rolling in the Deep (Villa Remix) – Adele

Orange Sky – Alexi Murdoch

For Emma – Bon Iver

 

Lace & Waves

 

 

 

 

I saw something like this and immediately was inspired to do my own little version.  These two were actually sewn by our intern Jennifer.  She did an awesome job. The perfect bag to hold all your summer goodies.

Unexpected Treasure

Here is a great little quick project to do with any bits and pieces of trim you might have in your sewing stash.  Thinking it might be super cute to doll them up with a little bling and chains.  Get the how-to here: http://ohsohappytogether.blogspot.com/2008/09/fun-giveaway.html

Roxanne Rocks!

Last week I had a an impromptu lesson with super special customer, Roxanne Faber Savage .  Roxanne came in with gorgeous layers of silk that she had silkscreened and was looking for a little help to sew the layers together.  I instantly fell in love with her art , and look forward to seeing more more more.  Here is her website and a few of my faves.

 

 

 

Monster Cuteness

The monster dolls is one of the most popular crafts in the kids section of our Ready-to-Make part of the store.  Needless to say since we opened I have seen some pretty cute and outrageous dolls walk out the door.  What always surprises me is how the kids always come up with something new.  This was a recent fave….

Ice cream in a baggie…

So basically they are saying that with just a baggie, some ice and some basic ingredients you can turn out some pretty tasty ice cream.  My thought is, with this heat why not give the whole thing a try.  Get the low down.

The Pretty side of Clean

I’ve seen these in tons of cute little shops for big bucks.  Never even thought of making them.  This great tutorial from jonesdesigncompany shows us just how easy the project is.  Make one for you and your best bud.
