Though I had made a tie before, I had to find an easy enough patter to 'mass produce' these bow ties. <br />
<br />
The tutorial from<a href="http://sewlikemymom.com/mens-bow-tie-tutorial/" target="_blank"> Sew Like My Mom</a> perfectly guides you through the steps to making one. <br />
<br />
I finally got to make a bow tie for me. The only alteration is that I made to the pattern is that I shortened the neck length to fit my small neck (12 inches). I also watched and looked at many tutorials to figure how to tie it.<br />

Here is a simple tutorial on how to make a beach coverup using a scarf. I bought this light scarf at Value Village for $3.99. It is double the size you see in the photo. I cut it half and serged the ends.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I then sewed the two edges together using a 1/4 inch seam allowance.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
At the very top, I double folded a 1/2 inch hem and then sewed it in place all around leaving a hole for the elastic. I placed an elastic band through the hole and voila!</div>

On Saturday I had the amazing opportunity to volunteer at City of Craft- Spring Edition 2015 which was held at the Theatre Centre on Queen Street West. I had a great time and I was impressed by the products made available by the 30 vendors. I snagged some cute fabric pieces which I can't wait to use and I also got some pretty sweet thank you goodies! Looking forward to attending the next City of Craft event in December! </div>

I finally took the time to sew a knitting needle case and sort out all the needles and hooks that were dumped into my knitting bag. For some reason, after I am done with a knitting project, I don't have the patience to put the needles back and so I leave them in the knitting bag. I hope this will help me stay more organized. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I made my own pattern after researching some patterns. I have used a 17 inch x18 inch square with a 1/2 seam allowance. I used interfacing to stiffen the fabric and I have sewn each slot measuring 1.75 inch, 1 inch and 0.75 inch. </div>

With this brutally cold Canadian winter, I really enjoyed coming home and cuddling up with my hot water bottle. I have seen quite expensive ones so I bought a $3 hot water bottle and made my own sleeve. I knitted the sweater using the pattern from <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/all-you-need---a-classic" target="_blank">Ravelry</a>. It is truly that best pattern that is very flexible regardless of the size of your hot water bottle. The challenging part of this pattern is the seamless cast on which I have never had to use but after seeing the result it gives, I am willing to use it again for future projects. Here is a helpful link to help you <a href="http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEspring06/FEATmagiccaston.htm" target="_blank">navigate the the seamless cast on</a>.</div>

Wednesday afternoon I was feeling quite restless and I wanted to do something but nothing intesive so I went on Pinterest and found the felt bunny earplug carrier which I had bookmarked. The pin does not have any instructions so first I sketched a pattern and then cut it out of felt (2 pieces for the body, ears and arms). Then I put it all together with simple embroidery stitching and for the cheeks I used a red crayon. </div>

I usually share something I've sewn or knitted but, this time I'm going to post about something I've made from Pinterest. For a couple of months now, I've been hooked on Pinterest so much so that now I have 66 boards and over 1100+ pins bookmarked. I've also ran into <a href="http://www.pinstrosity.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Pinstrosity</a>, a blog that shares unsuccessful pin creations. Luckily, I've have a few successes which I'm going to share here. </div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
Ever since Katrina called rainboots 'wellies', I've really taken a liking to this Brit word so now I started to use it! It makes me...happy!</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
Here is the original Pin:</div>

I added two red bows with some leftover ribbon I had. I used silk ribbon which looks great but has the tendency to undo itself so I would suggest that you tie a double knot or sew the bow in.</div>

This is one of my favourite pins. When I saw it, I knew I had to make it because I wear a lot of boots in the winter so I couldn't pass that cute look of long socks without all that extra bunchiness going on!

This is the coin pouch that I made after seeing the <a href="http://erinerickson.com/2011/11/circle-zip-earbud-pouch-tutorial/comment-page-1/#comment-1544" target="_blank">Circle Zip Earbud Pouch</a> on Pinterest. The original is in a round shape pouch and seeing that I can't sew in a circle, I opted for a simple square shape. I also did not use any batting but used interfacing on the main fabric to give it stability. So happy with the overall result!!! I will definitely try to do more as it perfect to hold bus tokens, small change, usb drives, and lip balm all handy on my keys.</div>

Here my new flexi frame wristlet. I love the details of the flex frame; it has a hoop detail instead of the usual flat tip. It's from a Korean brand called INAZUMA. The tutorial I used comes from <a href="http://u-handbag.typepad.com/uhandblog/2007/01/flexi_fabric_st.html">UHandbag </a>and it's not a hard pattern to develop; once you have it, putting it together comes very easily!</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I did this business card/points card/id card/credit card holder after being inspired on pinterest. This is the original <a href="http://craftycupboard.blogspot.ca/2011/03/how-to-business-card-holder.html">blog</a> that offers a really easy tutorial on how to make these cute holders. I just saw <a href="http://mysocalledgreenlife.com/2011/08/how-to-sew-credit-card-wallet-business.html">another holder</a> where the pockets are lengthwise rather than on the side. I look forward to making one of that too!!!!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">At first, I didn't get what the big fuss with Pinterest was so I got an account just to check it out. After 15-20 minutes on it, I started to get the whole vision board/scrapbook idea but, it wasn't until yesterday that I spend some serious time on it and I saw all the cool pins that people posted on their boards. I started to "repin" and "love" everything! It's such a great idea bank and clipboard for all the neat things you find on the web especially if you don't know exactly what you're looking for. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I finally used my embroidery hoops and made a quick and easy wall art project. It's an easy peasy project! My only difficulty: choosing the fabrics!

<span style="font-size: large;">On Saturday, Scarborough Village hosted its annual flea market and as it has been the case in the last 4 years, I had to go to work and miss most of event. However, as usual, by the 1pm closing time, I pop in and still get few great deals on sewing/knitting/craft supplies.<br />
This is what I got this year:<br />
<br />
6 embroidery hoops:</span></div>

<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
3 of the large ones (10 in) were 75 cents each, 2 medium (7 in and 8 in) ones for 50 cents and 1 small one (5 in) for 25 cents. I wanted them all so I asked the lady if I could get a deal. She gave them all to me for $1!!!!!!!!!<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> Priced at 24.99 US, I don't know why anyone would want to get rid of it! It's brand new with the instruction booklet, the 15 pattern cards, the pattern sheets to photocopy, the 2 fat quarter fabrics for the pillow con the cover, cotton and needle. I was baffled that it was marked $1.50!!!!!!! The lady charged me just $1!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">My craft journey this year began with signing up for the upholstered cube class at the workroom. I've been looking forward to taking this class for about a year but, with university and work, I was never able to take the class whenever it was offered...til now! Being very crafty and handy, I always wanted to do some carpentry work but, not signup for a carpentry class at a community college, so when I knew that the workroom was offering a class that merged carpentry and sewing, I was elated!</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The first Sunday class, was all about constructing the cube. Erin provided us with 5 planks of wood and nails and spent nearly half of the class time gluing and hammering away. My main concern during this first part was making sure that the nails went straight in without sticking out or splitting the wood. At some points I hammered nails into knots which Erin told me was ok if I hammered really, really hard.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: large;">After hammering, came the cutting of the foam. Erin brought an electric carving knife which did the job superbly. Then I used a staplegun to keep the foam in place. Using a staplegun for the first time was...something. I was supernervous, especially about having my finger in the trigger. It reminded me of those movie scenes where the guy who has never held a gun is shaking their hand and randomly pulls the trigger. I was scared I was going to accidently pull the trigger and hurt someone with the nails. The sound of the staples coming out also made my heart jump quite a few times.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Then it was time for the polyester batting. This was a quick sew but it was tricky to put on because the batting had to be stretched without being teared.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Soon after the lining and the cover came together fairly quickly. Careful cutting, marking, pinning made the sewing a snap. The most important thing I learned is definitely how to round and sew corners. </span></div>

<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The final step was cutting a dust cover to cover up all the fabric and the staples.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The next most exciting thing about the ottoman was getting the legs which I found at <a href="http://www.leevalley.com/en/home.aspx">Lee Valley</a> on King and Bathurst. I have to say that I saw very <a href="http://www.homedepot.ca/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CatalogSearchResultView?D=904415&Ntt=904415&catalogId=10051&langId=-15&storeId=10051&Dx=mode+matchallpartial&Ntx=mode+matchall&N=0&Ntk=P_PartNumber">nice legs</a> at Home Depot but for price reasons I ended up getting these <a href="http://www.leevalley.com/en/hardware/page.aspx?p=45054&cat=3,40993,41284&ap=1">adjustable legs</a>.</span></div>
