My Little Tote Bag
Little Tote to Tote along the alphabet and numbers
"PURR-PAL"
Vinyl, Lining material and Thread purchased at
G Street Fabrics<---link for store site
Cut out the pieces to the tote and Freemotion
Small Zig Satin Stitched the letters and numbers
On Each side of the tote pieces before sewing the tote together
Cut out a strip for strap and fold in and zig zag down the center to make a handle
The Lining has letters and numbers too, in Flannel
fold the lining like you do the outside and sew the side seams, then on the bottom pinch the ends and sew across the end and trim the triangle off so the bottom ends look like this... same with the outside of the tote, and put the lining inside--turn under both the lining and the outside and topstitch catching the strapping on the sides so the end is in between the lining and the outside.
Made just like Grammies big tote bag
Found these Foam Letters at one of the local drug stores
Everyone Should have their personal Alphabet and numbers...LOL
If this looks like fun things to make, here are others at this link...from my other blog...

·
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
·
1/4 teaspoon dried dill weed
·
1/4 teaspoon salt
·
Pinch black pepper
Don't forget your Deviled Eggs
To be quicker, I bought the hard boiled eggs... sliced in half, smashed the center in a bowl with a fork...
Added:
14
|
large, hard-boiled EGGS
|
1/2 cup
|
mayonnaise- olive oil mayonnaise was used for mine
|
1-1/2 tsp.
|
Dried Mustard
|
1 tsp.
|
fresh lemon juice
|
1/4 tsp.
|
ground pepper
|
Can add Sour Cream, Large Bacon chips and chives
AND Don't Forget the spinach Balls
I change this recipe to suit the ingredients I have and my mood... In general... 2 10 oz froz chopped spinach packages cooked and drained thrown in bowl... mix with 2 cups of could be Pep.Farm, but whatever Herbal stuffing in box or bag crushed form-rather than squares are best for mixing... 4 eggs beaten well, I usually add some seasoned bread crumbs just for finer mix and all kinds of shredded cheese,-thrown in to be sure there is plenty for each spinach ball, 2 cloves of garlic chopped finely and at least half of a flavorful onion if large or 1 small one chopped into tiny squares.. Cheese can either be a mixed bag or this time I put in shredded parm, and 2 types of shredded cheddar plus shredded mozzarella.... Just lots of flavors...
Mix and put in frig or freezer to make easy to roll into balls and then roll the balls whatever size you like and cook in oven 10 minutes or until slight brown and crunchy on the outside. These are usually a winner.
My local HT did the hard stuff... Turkey and usual mashed potatoes and green bean casserole... Picked up in the morning already cooked... YEH! HT
and it was cooked just right!!!

Multiple Cutting
So, I am using today to cut as many things out as possible.
I am going through my stash and laying out all the things I would like to make the same thing....
My ususal Jackets first...Fuschia Lace.. cut with scallops down the front... Baby Blue spider web lace... Royal Blue tufted chiffon.... Bright Coral Plaid Chiffon and Black with Metallic gold tufting... Gray green puffy chiffon.... all cut out...
Pants....
And TOPS...
And Lastly Dresses.
I need to do a cleanup and resort... so My sewing Table will be clean except for the stacks of items cutout today... This is the plan and I will take pictures as I accomplish it. After this and making one outfit... I will pull out all the Christmas presents stash and line them up... Then I can sew many things this week.
Conclusion:
Saw the Grandchildren a lot.... cut out 6 Jackets... Sewn...NONE...
Will not sew the jackets until I cut out the pants and Blouses...
Those are Magazine storage boxes with patterns in them on the top shelf... a bent paperclip shaped into a hook holds the plastic canvas sheet - holes are just right for the earrings to slipped through and backs holding on. Bracelet storage will be added to my next blog after finishing these outfits.
But here is a sampling of the materials of the Jackets and scarves because as always ... Made the earrings... first..
The Colors of next weeks outfits... earrings made... fuschia and blue beaded bracelets for accessorizing scarves...
At Least Step one is done... and Jackets are cut out...I will time how fast I can do one jacket if it is all cut out... We know if I cut out the pants, they are 20 minutes each. I will time the blouses also. Give me a week and half and my plastic canvas hanging earring holder will be full. The scarves will be the same as the earrings but intertwined with other colors that are in the blouses. The black ones you see are black and bright gold, and I think I have some gold fabric in my stash so that should be a twinkling outfit...

Grammie Sitting
Too Busy to Post watching Grand Babies Grow on Days off
One in front of me and one on the Monitor in Crib
Such Hard work... LOL... but don't have my sewing machine or computer
Still sewing in the Middle of the night... but Things like
Toddlers Tote Bag for Alphabet Letters and
Baby Snuggy Floor Throw out of Minky
Ooops, remember I made a throw out of Blue for baby Brother...?... uhoh... have to make a pink throw
The throw is a layer of minky on each side and 1 layer of flat batting in the center... Bias quilted 1 1/2" spaced and then used printed star gauze trim around the edge using a blanket sewing machine stitch to catch in both sides of the gauze trim. The blue star printed gauze was used for 2 baby swaddle blankets and 2 Grammie burping shoulder pads.
Of Course, I have more than 365 OUTFITS.. so who cares about my clothes..Ha
