Recon Denim Jacket to a Denim Shracket
Ok for those that don't know what a shracket is it's a half of a jacket but, it closes in the front like a jacket so it's a Shracket.
I been looking everywhere for shrackets and shrugs for my oldest daughter but, yet to find them in denim so went to the GoodWill and came across a nice whole denim jacket for only 2 dollars and made it into a nice shracket so here it go.
Before : Front

Was very quick and easy and thinking about adding some embroider floss around the end to give it a nice clean edging to it but, also a nice decide at the same time.

Love my denim
Had some cow like fabric left over from another purse I did so decided to put it to work and make this denim purse. I love me some denim.
I sewn in this little black and while circle things to the purses on the front and on the front pocket. To give it a little design.
I used circle handles by adding some of the cow like fabric to the circle given it a little comfort to my hand while holding it.
Inside of purse ran out of the cow like fabric but, I still made it work lol. Added a magnet snap also. It's a round bottom purses. Love round bottoms purses they are quicker to get done.
So there you have it love me some denim:)

Old kids shirts come in handy:)

Piglet Pillow (Latch Hooking)
My first finished Latch Hooking project. My little sister seen my progress with the bathroom rugs that I am doing and asked me to make her baby/my niece a pillow like that. So I did. I call my niece Piglet and decided to put that on the pillow it came out ok for my first finished Latch Hook project wishing I did the words Piglet in a darker color then in a lighter color. But, we all learn from trial and error I know next time but, still loved the pillow. My girls want one now after they seen my niece's pillow. I will get to theres soon. Have so much other projects to finish up. My bathroom rugs, my oldest daughtr's 4th July outfit/crochet and to sew up my girls outfits that I kept putting on hold oh also to finish my sewing box. :) But, enough about that here go some pictures of my Latch Hook Piglet Pillow so colorful. :)

Crochet Baby Blanket/ Carry Along Yarn Bag (Sew)
I finally finshed my niece's baby blanket it's a little small baby blanket that my sister kept begging me to do lol. So I went ahead and finished it up I liked doing this baby blanket because I got to use a lot of stitches in it. Like double, half, puff, single, treble and more. So here it goes.
Close up on stitches. :)
Made me a quick carry along yarn bag for all my crochet and latch hook things. I used vinyl that I so liked when I seen it at Walmart so I had to get it. I brought it because I wanted to make me a shower curtain for my bathroom for my new set of bath rugs that I am latch hooking now but, I went ahead and cut a little of the vinyl to do a quick bag for my yarn. I wanted a bag where I can see right though the bag and see the yarn and this vinyl was ok to work with. I made a little zip up purse to go with it something to keep all my crochet and latch hooks in so they wont get lost. Now when I go out I can carry my new bag lol. Here go some pictures.
So there you have it. My finished projects for now. You know me will surely have more to brag about soon. :)
