My first "Sew It" Project!!

While searching the internet for summer dresses to make for myself I came across this great blog: Sew Chic and Unique. Mayya (isn't she pretty!) has great tutorials and crafty projects. She also host a weekly Sew It project where the followers vote on what they want to make that week and then we all sew it! I can't promise that I will do it every week but it makes me excited to get the machine out and start being crafty again. I have lots of ideas of dresses, purses and crafty things flowing through mind and I can't wait to get started!

"Let's Get Organized" was the project for this week. This comes from Totally Stitchin (who also has a ton of great projects!). I was so excited to get started I couldn't wait for the weekend. I had to start this on Thursday night and finish it up on Friday morning.

I have had this material for some time and didn't have any ideas of what I could do with it. It was a very odd pattern that looked like quilt pieces. It worked perfect for this project!

Here's little Ethan eating dinner while I sewed on Thursday night! He's such a good boy and comes running when he hears the machine start up.

I am happy to say I didn't have to buy anything for this project. I had everything I needed in my sewing stash. I even had a nice piece to back it with and ribbon to match.

Here is the organizer all rolled up. I don't think I will ever really need to travel with it but it looks nice.

I do like that I can hang it from the ribbon. If I make anymore I will add something across the top to make it a little stiffer so the corners don't droop down.

I had to add some cute picks of the little boy just to be a bit more crafty! I've run out of picture frames so I used some colored paper.

I loved that this was so easy to sew up and only took a few hours. Even though I didn't follow the directions exactly they were super easy to follow and adapt to the material I had on hand.

I can't wait to see what we sew up next week!!
