sewcially inept

A novice with a sewing machine, my plan is to eventually win Project Runway and/or take over for Anna Wintour. Other interests include fresh music, bad puns, holiday socks, and barbecue popchips.

Denim Whale | Valaan Villapaita

This lovely denim whale is such a fun project to make. I can imagine a whole pod of them swimming across a book shelf! You don’t have to buy fabric if you have an old pair of jeans that you don’t mind cutting up - upcycling at its best!

Lined crossbody saddle-ish bag with a zipper on top. Not the cleanest work, but hopefully the 6 year old that gets this won't mind some messy stitching... #sewing #crossbody #DIYgift #purse #merryxmasyalls #zippers #

Finishing up some DIY gifts... Wine/liquor tote sewed with printed burlap from @theneedleshop - first time making bias tape! #sewing #DIY #quilting #presents #winetote

Had a half yard of extra panda holiday fabric from @theneedleshop plus a black fabric remant, so I tried my hand at a raglan sleeve crop top #pandas #sewing #DIY #raglansleeves #croptop
