Absence and Monogrammed Clutch

This is a clutch I have been monogramming a lot of for Christmas presents.  It has three compartments plus place for credit cards between the outside and inside pouch.  This clutch is great for wristlet or over the shoulder bag.

I have neglected my blog for a while now.  I have started a small home business of embroidery and monogramming.  Plus I have requests for sewing as well.  It has overwhelmed me in what all you have to do on social media which takes away from my product time.  

I promise to get back with it and share items I am making and tutorials I run across or make that might be helpful to my followers.

Knit Scarves, Bows

I watch the DIY Dish network through my iTunes and they 

showed these easy to make scarves out of T-Shirts. 

I went ahead and just bought jersey knit and made these up.

 I made the blue bow out wired ribbon and backed on felt with pin to attach on and off.

This T-Shirt, per their direction, was cut with two inch strips and stretched

which makes the knit curl.  It was very simple.  Because I chose to buy 

the jersey by the yard, they turned out rather long.  This picture is 5 strips

looped around the neck twice. 

I sewed up the selvage like it was already the bottom of a t-shirt.

Here I am showing how long it actually turned out with out looping.

So, be aware just how long 60" is, if you use knit from the bolt like I did.

I apologize for the size of the second picture.  It will not let me shrink it.

I need lot more training.  The black satin bow pin I made by using gathering

stitched down one side and gathering before sewing on felt.

I also went ahead and made the ruffle scarf shown here on a razorback red shirt.  

By the way, it also looks good with one of the pins on it.  I cut my circles out at 10 inches instead of the 9 suggested.

Searching around the blog world.  There are so many creative people.

Thank you all for sharing your creations with me.
