MAY and it's SEW HIP!

The ladies at Sew Hip all happened to be wearing items they had made, very appropriate for MeMadeMay! Cyndi and Maura have their bomber jackets from last year.....

....and Peggy, Lori and Danielle model yoga pants, a recycled denim jacket and a hand-knit sweater.

They have decided their next projects will be blouses or tops.
Cyndi has already started. She found this fun, striped knit and tried out a new pattern. Check it out!

And Peggy's newest t-shirt

Peggy recently had the opportunity to attend the Sewing & Stitchery Expo in Puyallup, WA. One of her purchases included an instruction booklet from Cheryl Kuczek of Paradiso Designs (www.paradisodesigns.com) for making this very unusual and decorative pocket. (Yup...that's a sample below! Check it out.)

April with SEW MUCH FUN

These ladies have certainly been sew busy and certainly having lots of fun:

Flo's cork handbag

Embroidered quilt blocks for Linda's new great-grandson

( For a peek at the completed baby quilt & the little man, go over to our Facebook page for that post.)

Mary F's pillowcases

To Market, To Market....so let's make a Basket!

April found the Sew-phisti-cuts making Market Baskets for storing and organizing all their sewing related items (or whatever). Pat M loves trying the various styles and was kind enough to teach everyone how to make this very easy project. Enjoy browsing them all:
