Day Six - Giveaway!

-
Whew! I was just about to change into my pj's when I realized that I forgot to take a picture of my outfit today! So, sorry for the bad pic, but this is me in poor lighting after a long day of work and then a few hours digging in the garden, which is now finally finished!


The mushroom skirt and the first shirt I ever sewed. See how the collar kind of sticks up? Oh yeah, I totally meant to do that... Riiiight... Anywho, I am really enjoying this whole challenge and I cannot wait till Sunday so I can spend the entire day sewing more clothes! Woot!

Now for the giveaway: I have a big piece of jersey knit fabric in a fun blue and green leafy stripe that I have no idea what to do with, it is just not fitting in with my current wardrobe plans. In celebration of the new t-shirt tutorial, I will gladly send it to the first person who can guess what this is going to eventually become:


Be sure to leave me some way to contact you! Good luck and see you tomorrow!

    Ohohohohoh! I would like some T-shirt fabric! Ummm, it's going to be a pretty rosette? Oh I'm not sure, agh! Can you tell I'm panicking?!

    The t-shirt tutorial looks awesome BTW. I'm in awe that you have the time to work, make heaps of sweet clothes AND produce tutorials! I could massively take a leaf out of your book and stop wasting time on the internet and get more done.

    First of all, just let me say that your outfit today was just too cute! It looks like while you were out playing in the dirt that you got a bit of sun, too! :) I'm going to guess that you are making a hair barrette... that's just what it looks like it could be when it grows up to me. But you like to do applique on your clothes, too - so it's difficult to say for sure. I'm sticking with hair barrette though...

    my email address is inalem at yahoo dot com

    I've really been enjoying your Me-Made-May posts - very inspiring!! Thank you!

    I guess a brooch for you cape, but many things past through my brain- like a decorative cap or the start of a frilly bra :) (hehe) Anyway- it will be beautiful.

    I love your top and wouldn't have noticed the collar if you hadn't pointed it out. We're definitely our own worst critics, lol :)

    Hmmm...is that going to be a floral brooch? Perhaps a poppy.

    I'd guess that it's either going to be a headband or a belt. My first thought was a brooch though.

    I think it is going to be embellishment for a shirt.

    I also love the ribbon dispenser you have

    @Zoe: Lol, nope, not a rosette! Thanks for the compliment, but I never feel like I do enough crafty stuff. There are people out there with blogs that make me feel like a lazy bum.

    @Everyone else... Some of you are so very close, but I am looking for a very specific word. Feel free to submit more than one guess, go for it!

    Alrighty! Since no one has guessed it spot-on yet, I will tell you...

    I was looking for the words *sun hat* but I suppose *hat* will have to do, but mom said she did not think she would need the fabric to sew a t-shirt. I will send her a runner-up prize that she will like instead *wink*.

    So the pretty fabric will go to See Jane Sew, who got as close as anyone could!

    And for her enthusiasm and for also guessing rightish, I will send some jersey fabric of a different kind to Mama G! Everyone wins!!! Lol. Thanks to everyone who played, and I will keep you informed as to the progress of the sun hat.

Crocheted Produce Bag

Well, I thought since the produce bag was something I just made up real quick I should post the pattern. I am sure there are way better ones out there, but most of them end up decreasing at the end to get a smaller opening, but I wanted mine large so leafy stuff that I buy in multiple little bunches could poke out, like baby broccoli or bok choy. So here is the pattern, just in case you want to make a couple as well. Materials: 1 skein Lion Brand Organic Cotton Yarn (#680), or similar worsted weight yarn Size I-9 Crochet Hook Little scrap of fabric (optional) Rnd 1: Begin with an adjustable loop , and crochet 12 double crochet (dc) into the loop and pull tight. Rnd 2: *Chain 7, skip 1 dc and slip stitch in next dc.* Repeat around. It should look like a little flower: Rnd 3: Chain 7, Slip stitch (slst) into 4th chain (ch) of round 2. You will ch 7 and attach it to the center of every little petal of the flower you created in round 2. At the end of the round ch 3 and slst into the 4th

I Love Lamp!

First of all, this is my 100th post which is some sort of milestone, so yay! And secondly, I've got another tutorial for a parasol light fixture to share! Today Michael and I were working on getting some light fixtures put up, which has been on my to-do list for a rediculously long time now. Endless gratitude for Michael making me get my butt in gear! So he helped me hang this nifty lotus flower-shaped lamp from Ikea over my sewing table. (I've always wanted one!) I finally have enough light to see what I'm doing, so maybe I'll actually start making things again! So anywho, on to the tutroial... Remember my idea for turning a parasol into a light fixture? Well with Michael's help I finally did it! We had a lot of technical issues to work out, so hopefully if anyone out there wants to make one this tutorial should save you a lot of time. As far as materials, you only need a hacksaw, a parasol, and some wire. Start by cutting the handle off of the paraso
