Thrifty Finds

Good morning and Happy Monday!

I mentioned it was girls night out Friday and we went to a thrift sale and dinner. I know we got pretty wild and crazy. :) It's an annual sale held by the local art center to raise money. It is always a blast. I always come home with lots of treasures. Here's my stash from Friday night. I got some golden books to use for notebook covers, some metal tins to paint up and decorate, and my best find of the night were the picnic baskets. I have been wanting a travel sewing box for all my nights at baseball and tennis. I love to bring along my hand sewing to keep myself occupied while I watch the boys play. I, of course, am going to do these up in Jangles fashion. Stay tuned, that will be another post down the road.

I didn't want you to miss the previous post. I have a handful of fat quarters in the Etsy shop. It's all I have... get em while you can.
Have a great day,
Jennifer

Birthday Present

Happy Saturday! Just a quick post for today because it is Saturday and we have lots to do. Last Saturday was my mom's birthday. Happy Birthday Mom! I made her this fun sewing notebook. I didn't want to post it until she had opened her present so that's why I am just getting around to it now.

My mom is a quilter and I thought it would be nice for her to have a sewing notebook to jot down all of her ideas in. I patched some fabric scraps together to make the cover and sewed on the vintage sewing machine picture. I added one of my buttons for the closure. There is a ribbon coming from the back of the book the she can pull to the front and wrap around the button. I used my Bind-it All to join it all together. I love that tool!

She was really happy with her gift.

Have a great day,
