So, lately it seems all I've been doing is sewing and watching crappy TV. (which I am addicted to. Whoops) But as of late it seems like I've only been sewing for other people. It's Halloween time and that means I sew people's costumes for them. Which I really do love doing. I just think it's nice to sew for myself once in a while. Which is why when I found the wallet I've been looking for (minus the fact that it was boring looking) this evening, I bought it and embellished it right away. I forgot the get the before picture, but I'm sure you can picture it. it was just plain. Anyway, I just cut out this lovely bird slapped it on and stitched. I think it turned out way cute! FYI hand sewing through leather kinda hurts, just in case you were wondering.
Also, as you all know I was working on the crib bedding making it actually unisex. I cut out the circles, fray checked them, and ironed them on. I sewed around most of them when I realized I didn't like the way it was looking, so I unpicked them all. ha ha ha whoops. But I think they look good without the stitching or any embellishments. Anyhow, here's the before and after.
