Toilet Tissue Holder
I saw a Tissue holder which is fancy one like this...
I attempted to make a tissue holder (not a fancy one)... Keep it simple like this....
The supplies :
Fabric
Matching thread
Scissor
sewing machine
Ribbon or bow or buttonor beads what ever you like to decorate
Cut Two 36" X 6.5" rectancle pieces for main
Cut One 4.5" X 2.5" rectancle for tie
Shape Top corner as shows..
Make Tie Fold half 4.5 X 2.6 picec in lengthwise. open, fold the corners into the center & fold again .Sew tie.
Its time to place your decorations on top.I used readymade bow&flower.
Now Pin the tie to top corner (shaped top)and place right side togher sew all around ,leave open at the bottom.
Top stitch all around.I top stitched halfway (the half in front)with crescent stitch.
The last part is fold the organizer and sew in place as shows below
(stitch at top side and half of the folded size).
This is how i made this tissue holder. You can add handle instead of tie.Always there is a better way to improve the method of making one.

Party decor - Kissing ball
I have seen Wedding Kissing Balls making in Holiday craft&creations.
I gave it a try instead of card stock I used artificial flowers that saves me cutting flowers.I bought lot of flowers from dollar tree&walmart.
I snipped off the stems &re assemble all the pedals...
Rearranged the way I want

Rearranged the way I want
and pinned to the Styrofoam ball or hot glued if you want or any other way works for you.
I made tissue flower garland to go well with that.

Car seat Re-cover
I've seen car seat make over in Laura Thoughts , Make it and love it , Morning by morning productions .
They are pretty and cool idea.Especially in Laura Thoughts Perfect one ! A complete make over of car seat ...mmm I never thought about that ! But I like it very much.. I did not have guts to do a complete make over.Because we are planing a trip this weekend . If I couldn't make well ends up buy a new car seat.I dont want that.Yeah of course I may try this after the trip but I could not wait to try this out. I bought a red shade fabric for quilt but ended up with car seat cover.Here is the before and after version of my daughter's car seat.

I just trace over pattern of car seat into a paper (that's a tricky part without ribbing) then into fabric.... some measure... mark ... cut ...sew... adjust... Finally I made a cover & It came well.
