Megan and I are trying to start a business of sewing and embroidery. We have created a Facebook page to help us. GentleHearted Creations. It is of course slow going. But we are getting started. If you are a Facebook member you can view the page with this link. GentleHearted Creations
Here are some monogrammed towels I did just recently. They are reverse monogramming.

Last week at the Trenton, Quilt and Sew we made aprons. I love going to class! You can learn something new no matter how long you have been sewing. We zig-zagged over fishing line to pull the ruffle for the bottom of the apron. It is reversable and very cute!

I have finish another purse. yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
This one is a Moon Shine Designs purse called the Paddington Satchel. I made it with Moda fabric from the Sonnect collection.
I learned several things making this one. That when a pattern calls for rigilene (or they spelled it rigiline) it is polyester corset boning. It was used around the top of the bag to give the opening some stiffness so it stays open. It works really great! – but you need a machine with some power and ability to go through really thick spots. Also for the piping I used (believe it or not) weed eater line instead of nylon piping. lol It gave it a bit of extra pop and stiffness to the piping and worked really well.

Here is one of my finished sewing projects. A Moon Shine Design purse from the Travel Collection. I just got the patterns. Time to get busy and make some purses, totes and bags for presents. I really like this one it is very big and will hold a lot. (that is very important) I used Echos of Color by A.E. Nathan material.

This was my first attempt at applique embroidery. I used the Hatched in Africa, Cuddlesome Critters Applique, Set 1 I was just practicing so I used old jeans and when I got done I liked them so well I wanted to make something out of it. So I made this wall hanging.
