Bag/purse: 

This was created with my own pattern I made myself. I can't even count how mnay hours this took me so if I were to make it again in the future I would find a more efficient way to produce it faster. I would also made the straps closer together so it didn't sag in thr middle.

DINOS!

I made these dinos using some of the fabric from this pj set. The hardest part about making anything stuffed is the actual stuffing part because I was using leftover beanbag stuffing my mom had and since it is memory foam it is tiny foam pieces. They are really small anf difficult to get into the item. If it were to take me 3o minutes to made the item with the sewing machine it would take me like an additional hour to stuff it which is less than ideal. The only thing is that it is currently free to me and there is a lot of it left. It may be worth going to the store and buying recycled stuffing just to make up for the cost of the time is takes to stuff it.

Yarn coasters and jewelry

The first image shows some jewelry and yarn squares that I was able to thrift at Freeport Community center. I used the necklaces to make other jewelry such as earrings and I am using the yarn squares to make coasters. If I remember correctly there are approximately 165 yarn squares and I ordered stackable cork to go behind it for stability. I am stacking 3 pieces of cork per coaster so I have to measure and cut each one then glue them all together and attach them to the individual yarn square. This is what has been taking forever and I have only been able to do maybe 10 so far.
