This project is super cute and requires minimal sewing skills. We will have 2 machines available to use but if you own (or have access to) one then we invite you to bring it too!<br /><br />We will supply the pants and all other supplies you'll need.

It's a cute neck wrap made from old sweaters.<br /><br />I know it's still 90 degrees outside in this lovely Florida fall weather, but I have an ulterior motive for doing this project tonight. Tomorrow morning I'm going to be shooting a tutorial for <a href="http://www.jacksonville.com/"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">jacksonville</span>.com</a>! It will be airing in October so I wanted to do something that was cute and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">fallish</span>. I think this is a perfect project because every time I wear mine, I always get loads of compliments, plus it's pretty easy.<br /><br />I need your crafty help to make examples to show at the end of the segment. I want to show a bunch of different styles and all my crafty crew always comes up with the best twists on the project I present. So, hopefully you can make it tonight and help me out AND make a cool neck warmer.<br /><br />**IF YOU HAVE A SEWING MACHINE, PLEASE BRING IT! :)** This is an easy sewing project but it does require machine stitching.<br /><br />Looking forward to seeing you all this evening!<br /><br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">xxoo</span>.<br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">emily</span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjan8WN7NFvnCuD_Ji0B8vfPT69yahPHpdeI5VsfV0mNfM7Dx4Qjfh_yq1aYJoW2ZbN511We93wq4SYbm267riAaajmbBbt4AY9v58rwrmunlKAt0n62pbn7eQWMkGFcsw3lcw4mPNQfu53/s1600-h/IMG00334.jpg"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span></a>Anomalyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00760463541838648823noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4095158601865497107.post-29589515127949456652009-09-01T12:34:00.004-04:002009-09-01T12:42:39.497-04:00no craft night this evening!if only it were this easy...<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.herohill.com/uploaded_images/traditional_kampong_house_rumah_melayu_move_heritage_moving-722665.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 280px;" src="http://www.herohill.com/uploaded_images/traditional_kampong_house_rumah_melayu_move_heritage_moving-722665.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />i am canceling craft night tonight due to the fact that <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">i've</span> been moving for 3 days and HAVE to get organized. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">i'm</span> also work 6 days a week right now so that leaves <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">alot</span> less free time for me to create a project for all my crafty peeps. so next week... i will have a great new craft... as soon as i unpack all my craft stuff! <br /><br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">xoxo</span>,<br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">emily</span>Anomalyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00760463541838648823noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4095158601865497107.post-56886603951315960222009-08-18T08:58:00.006-04:002009-08-18T09:14:48.607-04:00A pretty votive holder taught by a super cool guest crafter!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBsCgj36jf42GsD1G3Rpj7jKKNizKs8EN0k2hcKjcG394v1VDmFgtT_BEMXaiM9YlLW60Bj-v-AyM73zulF60CP8lgpWkf779IGONPu02vxCpY7yLSZ-AbDA8d2elxnX1sEF7-qQibXpCY/s1600-h/votive.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBsCgj36jf42GsD1G3Rpj7jKKNizKs8EN0k2hcKjcG394v1VDmFgtT_BEMXaiM9YlLW60Bj-v-AyM73zulF60CP8lgpWkf779IGONPu02vxCpY7yLSZ-AbDA8d2elxnX1sEF7-qQibXpCY/s400/votive.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371291587291302098" border="0" /></a><br />Tonight we're switching things up a bit.

It was my lucky day because this box was FILLED with zippers! There's quite the assortment. Some fashioned from ivory cotton, yellowed with time and lined thick silver metal zipper teeth. Some are a deep purple and others olive green, or there's the skinny polyester ones circa 1970's and 3 are even still in the package! As if the 15 zippers wasn't enough of a treasure, the box also held 2 packages of unopened needles (just broke my last one on Friday night!), a bunch of ribbed poly cord perfect for handles for tote bags, a few yards of elastic, buttons galore, and other miscellaneous sewing trinkets. I'm not going to even tell you how much I paid for it. You wouldn't believe me anyway.<br /><br />I have a tremendous appreciation for vintage packaging. A few of the buttons in my stash were still on the original cards. The back of one of the cards caught my eye.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi04VL2sNz5lLSgnElxnpvxVuFI30WJPFo_MbRBPH2b27qBbYC3rsBXqZlzBx11F8qGYAowjb6Ia45w5D779yGvLOsARNCZpOTllmUfJZPOUWjQ6IPIxU7-gf2TSbSacKOWpybWNA04gUdU/s1600-h/Picture+042.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi04VL2sNz5lLSgnElxnpvxVuFI30WJPFo_MbRBPH2b27qBbYC3rsBXqZlzBx11F8qGYAowjb6Ia45w5D779yGvLOsARNCZpOTllmUfJZPOUWjQ6IPIxU7-gf2TSbSacKOWpybWNA04gUdU/s400/Picture+042.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357760482277070738" border="0" /></a><br />Such a simple little sales pitch means so much more now that when it was printed. Women have really escaped the confines of being a housewife (although if you ARE a housewife and enjoy, there is nothing wrong with that either!) and have risen to great achievement. From being a doctor, supreme court justice, a senator, and even the proprietor of an independent shop, (wink, wink) women have much more credibility in this world than they used to! <br /><br />That being said, there is part of me that's a little sad. About a month or so ago I was sitting outside the shop enjoying the weather and working on the handstiching of an owl pillow for <a href="http://www.riversideartsmarket.com">RAM.</a> 2 elderly ladies were walking past me and one stopped and asked what i was working on. I told her and she replied, "You just don't see that kind of handwork any more. It's so nice to see that." The making of things is quickly becoming a thing of the past. People are so busy with the chaos of life that it's easier to run to Target and pick up some mass produced item than to take the time to craft something by hand. We've got to keep crafting alive! Let's be inspired by ideas and techniques from generations before us and craft in a way that is modern, fun, functional, and of course, CUTE! <br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;">I digress... back to my project... I fashioned up a couple flowers this evening and this is what i came up with...

last week's project was a hit! 15 people of all ages and skill levels came out to tackle sewing his/her own reusable sandwich wrapper! </span><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center; font-family: arial;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuATtT3kxzqIbsg5bn24rkWfFVbN-fFFpRNCBojrnFaDfsFhaEYA0DBavDnzl4pcBJ5WC5mWlicLYebvZmaP_Vbty_6QvZV4mzqhiMMHw8KkqbDjHkD-ABstxuA90pNsK6DKyeryHZs8cr/s1600-h/Picture+009.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuATtT3kxzqIbsg5bn24rkWfFVbN-fFFpRNCBojrnFaDfsFhaEYA0DBavDnzl4pcBJ5WC5mWlicLYebvZmaP_Vbty_6QvZV4mzqhiMMHw8KkqbDjHkD-ABstxuA90pNsK6DKyeryHZs8cr/s200/Picture+009.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355555432061291426" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggW0QKXZ0313-eYTk4XxeHEC2V-Hnmdo0dqdLVplE8Jv0cnXXtU4znGx2t7kXoLZrvz7AxpFootteLSn0PRVHYR33iLvL8FuaJTMIwruq_zj4BujhiXDSIC0rO6nuR7zsgmSBtvQ07oIWN/s1600-h/Picture+011.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggW0QKXZ0313-eYTk4XxeHEC2V-Hnmdo0dqdLVplE8Jv0cnXXtU4znGx2t7kXoLZrvz7AxpFootteLSn0PRVHYR33iLvL8FuaJTMIwruq_zj4BujhiXDSIC0rO6nuR7zsgmSBtvQ07oIWN/s200/Picture+011.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355555445618172226" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9hiRj-fg5B7mdmsygAYPnxqf6H_RS623kGLyLts4JIgguKfjE_HFVmJ6SuCDfZg3pajxqGKN1snE9dQ2abvGaeM6-D65NuZddbyTdtULn6wS3_SEsD33uUAAXA0_WPMceKoLQi99Gtm1s/s1600-h/Picture+010.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9hiRj-fg5B7mdmsygAYPnxqf6H_RS623kGLyLts4JIgguKfjE_HFVmJ6SuCDfZg3pajxqGKN1snE9dQ2abvGaeM6-D65NuZddbyTdtULn6wS3_SEsD33uUAAXA0_WPMceKoLQi99Gtm1s/s200/Picture+010.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355555442799043282" border="0" /></a><br /><br /></div><span style="font-family: arial;">since we're doing our summer sewing series, this week i thought we'd tackle a bag. it's a really simple pattern with a total of 3 pieces: a lining, outer fabric and braided handle. i fashioned it out of vintage fabric (of course!) and then added a fabric flower at the end to jazz mine up a but. we will be focusing more on the construction of the bag, but i had time to jazz mine up a bit with a vintage flower made out of the bag scraps. the options are endless as to the adornments you could add to give your purse more personality! this is the part where you can let your creativity run wild. and don't say you don't have any, i don't buy it. </span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">it's hard to get a good visual of size in the image above, however i made it small. the actual purse pouch measures a little larger than 4x6 and a dainty ribbon (i used vintage lace. i'm in love vintage lace.) closure ties at the top to keep all your items tucked safely inside. this is the perfect size for just an evening with just a few necessities.</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">i know say this without it ever coming to fruition, but i am really hoping to get a tutorial together for this project. i took all the step by step pictures while i was putting the bag together AND they are already uploaded to my computer so here's hoping it will happen! </span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">as always, craftacular tuesday is from 6:30-8:30.
