Thrifting & sewing

I went to the local thrift store yesterday.

A while back I found a Pyrex mushroom bowl.

And yesterday I found another one in a small size.

I was so excited.

I also got the little glass bowl to use for a butter dish.

And I found this pattern from 1969.

I thought this was so cute.

Sewing for Alex.

This tote bag is for a guy who is opening a thrift shop

in Vancouver.

The name of the shop is "Fabtabulous".

And she ordered a few lunch bags.

Well not very exciting stuff, but that is what I have been doing.

I was looking for cute little boy fabric but

the selection was quite dismal.

Also working on more welders caps.

The guys are asking for them

Made 7 since yesterday.

But have lots more to do.

What I am doing.

Just in case you are thinking I am not doing anything,

I thought I would show you what has been happening

in my sewing room.



A friend from Vancouver has ordered some lunch bags.

This is what I am working on today.

I have them all cut and embroidered.

All the decisions have been made.

Sometimes making the decisions is what takes me the longest.



I have made some pillowcases for her girls

as gifts.

 

Also been working on making more welders caps.

There seems to be quite a demand for them.

They will keep me busy for a long time yet.

 

Just so you know.

The birthday dress did fit.

She looked very cute in it.

And I forgot my camera!!

I will try and get a picture at a later date.
