Monogrammed Jeans

Over the years I have made lots of monogrammed pocket jeans as gifts.

Now I have the pleasure of sewing for our grandchildren!

Here is Alex wearing his Star Wars shorts and purchased onsie where I have added a fabric applique from the Star Wars fabric. I don't have a photo of him in his jeans....yet.	Alex's jeans

Regarding the notes in my photos...

I add notes for myself with the hope 

that the next time I sew with the pattern I might be more efficient...

we'll see how that idea works out.

I found a new way to display images side by side in blogger.

A great big thank you to Sharon Brennan for sharing her tutorial  on 

Inserting Images into Blogger Side by Side.

Update, June 4, 2018...I noticed the images were elongated when views on mobile device.
I reset image size to small. By clicking on image you can see a larger version.

Dry Embossed Card Set with Case

I made a set of note cards as a hostess gift for our neighbor last week.

The fronts of the card are dry embossed using Cuttlebug snowflakes

and a Sizzix embossing folder (which Sizzix calls "texture fades").

I wish there was a name on the Sizzix folder.

It came as part of a Tim Holtz Bird Talk 2 clear stamp set.

The card case is made with a simple paper folder.
A few more details for making the case are HERE.

I added a JustRite monogram to some of the cards.
Used scallop punches and layered with black paper.

Decided to keep some cards plain and simple--just the embossed front.
Hope my friend likes them.

My case is made with a paper school folder
with the 2 embossed layers and the monogram attached to the front.

Cards and envelopes go inside the pockets.
Fold down and trim.
For the ties, punch a hole on the side, insert ribbon and knot on the inside.
Tie a bow to close the case.

Thanks so much for visiting!
