Bed for the dog crate
Here's some shots of my first zipper project!
This is a box-pillow that will cover some high-density foam for a kennel mat for Stella (I know, I'm over the top with it))
I used exterior upholstery weight material.
If you can't tell by the photo this was some sort of two sided zipper where there's two different zipper cars and it can be opened by either end.
I ended up putting it in by exposing the teeth. I even tried my hand at a top stitch! and, check out the serging on the inside.
I watched a few youtube tutorials on zippers and asked everyone I knew how they do them.
Eventually, I'd like to learn the proper zipper installation technique!
what a hoot!
It's not perfect - the ends of the zipper need some minor adjustment....

Pink Cowgirl
This turned out great!
I'm extremely pleased with this shirt!
This shirt is for my friend, who is originally from Cheyenne, WY. . . transplanted in Washington DC.
You can take the girl out of Wyoming, but you can't take Wyoming out of the girl....

Custom car seat cover
Custom-made seatcover
Unsatisfied with the available seat covers, I made my own!
Because Stella sits in the cargo area, I needed it to cover the back side of the back seat. It's hard to find a seat cover that fits on the entire back seat!
I didn't cover the sitting part of the back seats.
Who doesn't need a splash of orange in the car?

Niece's Ninth Birthday Gift!
My nieces to pieces is turning nine next week!
I've crafted two nifty pink shirts and a matching headband!
The headband was from the Blue Bird tutorial http://bluebirdstudio.blogspot.com/2008/09/ten-minute-headband-tutorial.html [thank you bluebird, it was so easy and fun!]
The headband's neat feature is that it uses a pony-holder for elastic. genius.
Here, I appliqued a "9" with the same material as the headband. She'll look super accessorized!
And, finally, the "rock princess" shirt! (front and back)
