I had enough charms left over to make four, yes ~ FOUR ~ trivet/hot pads. How cool is that?!? I still had two charms left... maybe a coaster? Just kidding... I'll save them for a later project.
I just whipped these little cuties up... who would'a thunk they'd be so cute? I am lovin' them. Yeah, yeah for repurposed polos... fun, fun! I sure hope Misty loves the set as much as I do.
If you want to purchase one... just click on the picture above and it will take you to their site. They are pretty awesome collars... I had the pretty little pink floral one all picked out for Miss Boo, she would have looked awefully cute in it... but Miss Zoe' will look pretty, pretty too... and she is certainly deserving also... poor little thing is in morning... she keeps scratching at the door to be let in the house so she can look for her little sister. I know they miss her too. It's been a quiet few days without Boo to give us kisses and wake us up to be let out, and bark like a crazy mad dog at the squirrels. I'm pretty sure the squirrels were the culprets that lured Boo into the road where she met her fateful end. Dang them squirrels... I'm gonna have Zoe' and Dueter get'em.
Here is a little sundress I through together for Miss Ashelyn yesterday evening. You can't really tell by the picture, but the background of the fabric is a dark chocolate brown. I loved the graduated polka dots... love, love, love polka dots which will be very evident when I finish her other little dresses I have planned for Miss Things big 1 year birthday... doesn't even seem possible. One week from tomorrow Miss Ashelyn will be 1 Year Old... makes me just a little sad, It goes by so very quickly.
So Natalie at the Missouri Star Quilt Company did a tutorial on these earlier in the year. What a great use of some worn out or stained t-shirts. I made this one out of a VolCoM Polo shirt. It got stained in the laundry so it wasn't being worn anymore... now it will be adorning my arm when I'm off to the Aldi's for some grocery items... so Thank you Miss Natalie. This was a very easy fun idea for re-purposing a t-shirt. Next on the agenda is a dress for Miss Ashelyn from a used Polo.
I added a box pleat at the bottom... oh, then I turned one of the sleeves into a pocket. I have the pocket flipped to the outside so that you can see it better.
Here is the final bag.
This is a step by step collage of how I made my next bag. I squared off the bottom and cut a flap off an old box to size and then placed in my completed bag to use as a bottom... nothing fancy, but it works.
