My Naughty Skirt

I am so excited and proud of myself. I just finished my second sewing Project, a pencil skirt. I used a red waist band and red zipper to make it unique and not look store bought. I also used a hand sewn slip stitch on the hem and waistband to make it invisible. It also has a small slit in the back that you can't really see in these pictures.

Felted Easter Basket

For Easter I knitted a gingham basket and then threw it in the washer to felt the wool.


My first knitted project

Last winter I moved from Arizona to Virginia and decided to knit a cable scarf on the plane ride.
