I've gotta try it!!

Here a few things I can't wait to get my fabric mitts on and try out.
Freezer paper stencils-I love this idea so much, look how easy that would be! I should probably keep my mouth shut until I try it though. I think I have a bunch of freezer paper just begging to be used for something other than frozen meat. This super cute girls rock shirt is found on the House on Hill Road blog, definately go check her out.

And this- Lounge pants cut from a T-Shirt- pure genius! I could live in those kind of pants, seriously. I own more pajama/lounge pants than I do regular pants of all varieties. Now to find a shirt Cody won't miss.

And this- Free hand machine embroidery. I can see how this would give a person a headache but my expectations are low and I think it would be a lot of fun so I'm going to give it a whirl.

Sadly I have two costumes to make and a bunch of Christmas to get a head start on so these will have to wait for another day. If anyone makes one or more of these post a comment with a link to your picture so I can take a peek! I think they would make fun Christmas projects so maybe I will weasel them in somewhere. Happy Sewing!

  2. Man your such a go getter. The thought of touching my sewing machine makes me WANT to have contractions. Your so good! Those pants are cracking me up-who knew you could make pants out of a shirt? :) Especially for an adult!

  3. Thanks! You know how wax paper is waxy on both sides, freezer paper is a lot bigger and has a paper side and a plastic type side. DO NOT use wax paper or it will be a big mess :o). I bought mine from Wally world.
