Apple Purse...

 A fun project i did last year!! a Quilted Apple purse from my own design.  After looking at Disney inspired outfits and falling in love with an apple purse that was over $400 i decided to take things into my own hands and make one of my very own...so I drew up a pattern and picked out fun fabrics and came up with this!

the basic shapes after crazy quilt piecing the sides, I then appliqued the apple center and added the dimensional leaves!

then i created a zippered side..I used heavy duty interfacing used for belts and other heavy items!

Here you can see the finished results!!! I really think i need to make more fruits..a green pear, a watermelon slice...you get the picture! 

the other side!

worm detail I ended up swapping this one out for a hand needle felted one with a pipe cleaner core...He was more realistic and dimensional!

like these guys...I made these after i made the one for the purse....so fun for photos! haha

Some of my dress creations! This one was for Valentine's day last year. I used left over fabric from the curtains for my trailer! I had a couple of choices and used the other one with this fabric as trim, so i had a bunch left over. At the moment this dress no longer fits...i got a bit chubbier this last year *sigh*

I fell in love with these cowboy boots...so i had to make a dress to wear when i picked them up.....I am loving this pattern. It is the same pattern i recently used for my Hamburger dress

well time for me to go do my belly dance work out!  Next post....my quilt along Bloom (from Bee in my Bonnet aka Lor Holt) quilt i am working on....

Gluten Free Hamburgers!...

 For the last couple of years i have been eating gluten free. Recently i have noticed an even worse reaction to eating gluten.  I break out in these little hives on my chin if i eat much with gluten in it!  I have even reacted to my make up...yup! Makeup can have gluten in it..if you are sensitive to gluten you might want to check it!  Any how....in my life the occasional treat for me is a wonderfully grilled hamburger with all the fixins...now though it would have to be bunless.  So in celebration of that all American treat....i present to you...my hamburger dress! LOL!

since i am chubby and hate pantyhose...my newest fashion addition is leggings under my dresses....so comfie and makes wearing dresses in the winter cozy..and my thighs don't rub together either..LOL!

and here I am.....notice the teensy hamburger earrings...found those on Etsy here: Fraidy Cat Crafts

Have gotten so many compliments when i wear this outfit!  I did notice that going to eat sushi in it..seems so wrong..so what did i do?..order Sushi fabric of course...hhmmm now off to find some sushi earrings to go with.  I need to learn to make polymer clay things to make an endless supply of fun earrings!! hahah....
