Bathroom Valance

For some reason this past weekend I was full of energy. I have no idea were this spurt came from but I took full advantage of it and worked on several projects that I had been putting off for a while. One of the things that I have been wanting to do was make a valance for our bathroom. The one that was there was Okay but a little boring. I wanted something with a little more pizazz so I bought this fabric from Joanne's and used the old valance as the pattern. The only changes I made were to make it a little wider. I also added interest by using solid black grosgrain ribbon for the ties. Enjoy!

Easy-To-Sew Skirt

It was a rainy Tuesday today. A good day to stay inside and work on projects. When I was in college I took mostly early classes that ended before noon. On days like today I would race home and spend the rest of the day sewing. I use to make a lot of my clothes and even worked part time in a fabric store one semester. Ahhhh, Such fond memories. 

Today I don’t do much sewing but I did find a great website that features pattern reviews and was convinced to pull out the sewing machine and make a work skirt. The directions were reasonable and even though I used a jersey material (not the easiest fabric to work with) this really was an “easy to sew” pattern and I love the final product.  Enjoy!
