Summer Sewing
2010 July 21
Before the summer ends, I have a few things on my ‘to sew’ list. Coupla projects shown here, definitely this Beach Blanket To Go, perhaps this…you get the idea. (And this skirt may have to wait til fall. I get carried away sometimes.)
This little project, however, was so easy that I was done and sporting my new accessory in no time flat. 
Isn’t it cute? (Despite the grainy photos?)My favorite kind of sewing projects are the ones where I get immediate results. I can’t help myself. I’m so impatient. I need to see progress!
Your scarf turned out way cuter than hers!!!! I have seen that tutorial and didn’t do it, but now I want to after seeing how your scarf turned out!!!
After you mentioned those Martha projects I had to go check it out (against my better judgment, ha ha). I’ve been wanting one of those sarongs for forever; I was so excited to see that tutorial! That’s definitely going on my to-do list before you know when!
Love the elastic thread. I made Isabelle a skirt the other day, gathering it the hard way, and wondered why I didn’t just use elastic thread!
Love the haircut!
I’m going to have to go buy some elastic thread now.
I’ve never used it before.
Once again Natalie is left wishing she had the time/patience/craftiness in her to learn how to sew.
Natalie, you may go for it someday! I learned just a couple years ago out of my desire to make gifts for my kids for Christmas. I found ideas on the internet and stayed up after all the kids were asleep. I started out with really easy projects.
I wanted to learn for years and I’m so glad I finally took the plunge.
Love your scarf, Gina! I am going to have to make one myself. Was it hard to use the elastic thread?
