I'm sure many of you all have noticed that I haven't posted here in a long time! Since my last post I have had two babies and am adjusting to life as a mom of an 18 month old and a newborn. It's crazy some days, but a whole lot of fun!<br />
<br />

<br />
That being said I have somehow found time to relaunch my website! So if you want to follow me and keep up with my tutorials head over to <a href="http://whitneysews.com/">WhitneySews.com</a>. You can also see all the videos I posted during my break over on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/aglanceatmyworld">youTube</a>. I'm really excited about what all is happening with Whitney Sews right now and what is planned for the future!<br />
<br />
I hope you all have a wonderful day and happy sewing!<br />

We came up with some costumes that evening, decided on a basic story line, and filmed the next day. <br />
<br />
We had a blast shooting it! We then let the footage sit for nearly a year without working on it at all. So after that long wait we finally decided to get the short finished! <br />
<br />
So here is the final video. It's a little campy and a lot fun! I hope you enjoy it as much as we did working on it :)<br />

I have a lot of fun making them and decided to show you all how to create your own patterns. <br />
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
I used one of my paper pieced blocks to create a quilted mug rug. It is the same techniques as making a full size quilt, so great practice if you think you want to get started in quilting or just want to make a quick quilt project. <br />

I usually speed this up or cut it completely out of tutorials completely because once you've done it, it is very easy. I guess I was forgetting that not every one has made a bag before. So I made a sewing basics video showing the entirety of it in real time. I hope you find it helpful!<br />

We made up a ton of items and spent the entire Saturday hanging out and chatting with customers. We had a great time! It was interesting to see what all people bought and didn't buy (wasn't what we expected!). We had a booth down the hallway leading into the main room which was cool because we had a little more room and was able to set up 3 tables, my mannequin, and some vintage door screens to hang items on.<br />
<br />
Here's a video showing some of the items I made to sell at the craft fair.<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/ezagoDBwzcw" width="560"></iframe><br />
<br />
<br />
I also made a vlog talking about what sold, what didn't and overall how the day went.<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
For the fair I made money bags for me and mom. I used an old pair of pants, a long zipper, and seam binding and they turned out great! They worked really well for holding our change, phone, and anything else we needed.</div>

It's a really quick and easy project, with great looking results! <br />
<br />
You only need one piece of fabric, a zipper, and a sewing machine to make a fabulous looking bag. They were a hit at a craft fair I did and one of my best selling items.<br />

I used a curtain I got for super cheap at a garage sale, tiny corduroy I bought $5 for the entire bolt, and a clip saved from a dog leash I used for a strap on another project. I love how it turned out so I wanted to share it. Hope you like it too :)<br />
