Sew Simple
During my two and a half month stay here in the Ham, I have been doing a little sewing. The first picture is a knitting needle case made of some old blue jeans, and scrap material. Needless to say I was in a hurry and it was thrown together.
I thought that before I left for my trip I would make some nice comfortable linen pants. Instead I found that blue and tan fabric at Wal-Mart for $2.00 a yard. I debated over if I should make one of those tiered skirts, or something a little more simple. I chose the simple skirt considering I didn't even use a pattern.
And last but not least I made the pillow and tote for two friends. Of course the pillow needs to be stuffed, but I hand monogramed it, and the other side is striped like the bag. I have made several tote bags in the past and I could never get the outside material and the lining to match up. Well thanks to Crystal (who has a fabulous tote bag tutorial), it turned out perfect.

Super cute skirt!
Lacey, I can't believe you're leaving tomorrow. I'll be praying for you. I hope you post pictures of your apartment and places you go. I love you!!!
Hey, I think all your projects turned out great! What does the inside of the knitting needle case look like? I think its neat. And your skirt looks comfy. You always said your totes never turn out but I think that one turned out very sweet!(and am glad I could help). Your friends will be really touched to get something handmade from you. You'll have to let me know if you encounter some cool fabrics overseas...
Happy Traveling!
