Okay so I did this pin in the last 2 wks http://pinterest.com/pin/148126275214813788/ ....Now this one is a dousey ...its by far the one that's taken me the longest but well worth it...Now I didn't do play by play pics because I forgot I had put this one in my "I can make that" pinterest Folder ...however I did manage to get a few pic since I do these for my sewing business I have and I like to take some pics to show progress to the clients.....so heeeerrrrrreeeee she goesss!

A first year quilt....thing's you'll need
Thread
Baby clothes
Fabric (which ever you want to use) I chose Minky and flannel
A sewing machine
A shit load of pins
Stabilizer
Iron
Badding
PATIENCE!
A understanding husband
Perfect kids that behave while you sew
.....Okay some of those are a long shot but we all can dream

Okay first Take all the clothes you want on this quilt for sure and cut them however you please ..I halved most and used bits and parts of others here and there, I also cut out cute tags for this one like "queen bee" ect. Lay them all out so you can get an Idea of where you want them to go and the placing ..
Now I topped stitched all mine to give it a extra funky look but you can seam them together from the back side as well...at this point because of the type of fabric these clothes are mostly made of you want to iron on a Stabilizer so they don't shift on you so go do that now..lol....next  pin and sew...pin and sew...pin and sew...now that your done with that ...which trust when I say it takes a good amount of time doing this...that's why when you have them made there not cheap....like I said a understanding husband and perfect children! lol...ok so now we have it all sewn together next you want to lay down your backing and place your badding on top...then lay down the clothes that are sewn ...what I do is Pin around the edge and trim off excess of the clothes to meet with the backing and safety pin the whole quilt in about 30 places to make sure nothing slips or moves...next after all your excess is trimmed you need to make your bias (trim for edge of blanket) now you can buy some pre made but I like to save money and make my own...here's a pin for that..now I didn't use this pin because I already know how but here ya go it just chalks it up to one more pin for me lol http://pinterest.com/pin/148126275214976694/ Okay now you've made your Bias time to put it on and start pinning again! okay Poof that's done! Your Quick man! Okay now time to sew!!!!! I choose a cute flowery stitch! Okay wow your done with that already ...flippin sweet! so it should look something like this!

    <---Cute flowery stitch!!

Okay so like I said this took a bit to do...I have a few other pins ready to blog I just have to find the time to publish them But I'm right on top of that Rose! (Don't tell mom the babysitters dead quote..you know you love it!!) Okay Gals and Guy (probably my husband) stay tuned!

Scrappy!

So my I did this pin  http://pinterest.com/pin/148126275214536094/ for my friends daughters Birthday!! I was super excited about trying this one out because I want to make one for my daughter as well! so lets begin...

First off I took  half inch elastic stretched it out to the measurement I needed then stitched the two ends together. Next I took some fabric mainly smaller pieces I couldn't use to make anything that had some length to them and cut them in the length I needed to knot on the elastic. For this skirt I did roughly 20 in in length and 2 inch in width....




Okay so now I'm ready to start tying right??...WRONG!! I lost the damn elastic somewhere in my living room between my sons toys and crap on the floor and the fabric pieces everywhere ughhh ....at the end of the night in my house before we pick up when the kids go to bed it looks like something off HOARDERS!! My son is a very Talented mess maker! So instead of driving myself looking for the only piece of elastic that size I dove into my elastic stash and found some more just way thinner ...so I went with that instead ...

 I knotted this one because my kids had fallen asleep and well I didn't want to wake them with the sewing machine...But I knotted it real good and it works!

So I start knotting and well once again my drop dead beautiful Flintstone feet come in very handy...so I kept knotting and knotting and knotting....

Then once I got it all knotted together I wrapped purple ribbon around the waist ....

Then once it was completely wrapped I glued the pieces together and pinned it to make sure it held in place to dry...the whaaalllaaa

A Scrap fabric Skirt

OMG OMG You are the devil!!! Cocky party of Muahh!!

AHHHH I already wrote this whole post on this pin and I went to hit space bar and POOF it disappeared my finger must have slipped but trust me when I say this pin is officially cursed!!! Lets start from the beginning shall we??..So I picked this pin because it's super simple and I have all the supplies so here it is http://pinterest.com/pin/148126275214620064/ Now lets just say this pin for me became a train wreck and well since everyone can't help but to stare at a train wreck please enjoy mine!!
 Now lets start from where this pin went wrong......the directions yes that's right you see my oober cocky attitude on how crafty and talented I am decided all you need is kool-aid, ice cubes and yarn I can skim the directions but I can guarantee that's all I need so I did just that and skimmed!! DON'T EVER SKIM!!!! read bitches Read!!! Ok so after I fu#$@% up the directions I began my pin (still not knowing I'm doing this allllll wrong)

So I began with a cup and half  of water in several cups with a different type of flavor of kool-aid in each one...Don't add sugar!! 

  Next step was to put each color in the ice cube trays and freeze....this is where the problem began!!!! We buy our ice!! I couldn't find a ice cube tray and the stores were already closed!! ding ding that's right I remembered my sister in law had gotten us some ice cube trays for Christmas a few yrs back!!! but I only found one....so I got my tray to freeze homemade baby food and used that as well!! BTW thanks Chels!!

Okay so I have my tray with white yarn and my ice cube trays about to go in the freezer....Huh??..What's that babe??...The fridge isn't working?? What the hell do you mean it's not working???? FU@#!!!! That's right folks our fridge took a shit! But luckily with my husbands brains and my craftiness we pulled our resources and with a hair dryer and some Velcro we got it working again!! ..Intrigued about how me used those two things to make it work huh??......(you should see how we get down in the bedroom!!...LMFAO jk we have two under 2 well just turned 2 so ...we don't have time to get crafty in there!!) but however now that we've gotten so pro at fixing our fridge we're thinking about opening a refrigerator repair shop...maybe we should call it...bubble gum and Duct tape?? anyways Moving along now that the fridge is fixed and the ice cubes are FINALLLLLy frozen time to make some magic happen....so I strategically place the ice cubes around the top of the yarn to make sure when it dyes it looks freaking awesome!!

    Now time to wait and watch the magic develop!!....Waiting.....waiting.....waiting........ Whats that babe??..."Bre it's all gonna melt and be a big pool of soupy blahhh underneath!" ....I reply " Um your stupid, no it's not ...Look at the pin ya dork it dyes it as it melt"...ugh men so stupid!! .....waiting....waiting

WTF!!!!!....Great Hubby was right!! WTH where did I go wrong? Crap he's never gonna let me live this down ...he was right for ONCE!! I'm gonna hear about this till I die!! God Only knows what I'll have to do to get him to shut up about it .... hehe *wink* bahaha Yea right ...Great so it all did melt to a mushy pool of bahlaa....Time to call my mom (My Guru of Craftiness) Mom...wth I did what it said...(mom finds pin and re-reads it aloud) ...Use only wool yarn and must wash first in a vinegar bath....F#$K ..."Breana did you wash it first and only use wool?" ....Umm no?! Ugh I hate admitting to my mom that I did not read the directions thoroughly and only skimmed (shes been bitching at me about that since I was little) I can't help I'm a self made Genius and don't need to read directions (well maybe this one time) bahahaha ....So I really wanted to have this pin done in time for My friend Kristen that will be going to deliver her twin boys within the next wk and a half (shes learning to Crochet) But however Kristen I don't think you want this one?!?! I'll be revisiting this pin ..this wk I hope ....AND DOING IN CORRECTLY!! I should have never started this damn Pin....cursed it is cursed!!...so enjoy my soupy mess!!
