This will be my last post for a while. A health issue has been presented to me and I need to address it.
My health and family need my attention at the moment. Thank all of you that read my blog and I hope that I have given some inspiration and smiles to some of you.💝
______________________________________________________________
Our son is a big fan of the Vikings football team. Every year he watches faithfully and hopes that they go all the way.
Earlier this year I made some pillow cases for our grandsons, which they really enjoyed, at that time our son hinted that he wanted a pillow case and rattled off many of his favorite teams.
It will be his birthday this weekend, so guess what he’s getting for his present. Yep. A Vikings pillow case.
He’s not a blog reader so I’m free to post this and not spoil the surprise.
I used one of my pillow cases as a pattern and only used one yard of fabric. Sew sew simple!
We love our favorite son!
By the way, how are the Vikings doing?

I have finished some projects.
First of all, my grandsons projects were so easy to do. I made them some pillow cases with some of their favorite characters. Pillow cases aren’t such a creative idea, but I figured they would enjoy laying their little heads on Angry Birds and Lightning Mcqueen.
You don’t even need to use a pattern, just take one of your old pillow cases and take the measurements and add on a 5/8 seam allowance for the side seam and leave about 5 inches for the hem. I used just a touch over 1 yard of material for each one. Super fast and super easy!
This is a great project for mothers doing a room makeover. It’s always fun to add your own touches.
Little girls would love a girly pillow case.
I’ve also been experimenting with clutch purses. The pattern I used was a kwick sew pattern which only has 2 pieces, and it was super easy as well. This clutch purse would be great for going out on a date and it’s easy enough to make several to go with different outfits!
The pattern gives you a choice of a finished seam or using a zig zag stitch to finish the edges. It does call for a serged edge, but I don’t have a serger, so I used a zig zag stitch. I’m still working on little handles and closures.
These are just practice ones, till I can make that perfect one.
In the future I hope to start an Etsy shop so I’m trying to find my little niche.
Have a sewful day.♥♥♥
