Sew Crafty Friday - July 4th, 2008

Happy 4th of July and welcome to my second post for Sew Crafty Friday!

Last week I posted two little dresses I was working on and they are both near finished. I hope to take pictures of my daughter in the white dress so I'll post about it next week. But here is the green dress:


It would have been done today but for some reason I couldn't find my sewing needles so the snaps in the back haven't been sewn on. After the pictures I took last week I happened to leave this within reach of my two year old who thinks this dress is pretty. She got her hands on it and with them some red substance which I believe to be spaghetti sauce. I pretreated it with Spray N Wash and it came out clean from the laundry. Whew!

I think I have decided to start an etsy shop and this will be my first product. I've always wanted to try and sell something online and here's my chance. This is the back:


This second project has been finished for awhile but I never posted it here. It's a baby blanket that I made on the long blue knifty knitter loom. Here's the pic:


The pattern was found at on the Yahoo Group Knifty Knitter Looms. This is a great place to go to if your new and want to ask questions, or if you're experienced and want to get ideas. I love looming because I can keep my hands busy without really having to think about what I'm doing. This blanket is as soft and fluffy as it looks. The yarn is Red Heart baby clouds and its really chunky. It was $4 dollars a skein at Michael's so the blanket cost about $16 to make (if you don't include the price of the loom.) Red Heart also makes this yarn in regular colors under the names Light N Lofty and Bright N Lofty. The Bright N Lofty is a bit bold but you can find it for a dollar a skein at Smiley's Yarns. I just bought a HUGE box of the stuff in bright pink, varigated red, varigated black, and purple to make it into blankets. I'm going to probably start one this week.

That's all for tonight. Thanks for looking!
