This And That In My Treasure Box

Follow The Link To My Granddaughter's Dress   I put a lining on the inside. I do not have my new serger set up yet. I did finish all my edges with a zigzag stitch. I hemmed both layers. I both sewed and glued the bling around the waist. I used "Fabric Fusion" Glue. I put a hook and eye above the first button. It helps it stay closed nicely on both the inside and the outside.   Susan Nikitenko Photos Granddaughters Dress - Follow This Link

  I still have a few things to do to the dress. I have some work to do on the buttonholes. I need to reinforce each button. Put a hem in both layers of fabric at the bottom. Add a belt and bow with some bling. I'm not sure yet but I was considering embroidering vintage piglet and pooh at the bottom on the left side.   Follow Link: To See More About This Dress

     Putting Up Christmas Decorations?....... Well,Working On That Too. I have completed one.  I have to weave in the strings of one and finish the outer border on one.  I need to weave in those strings as well. I will give you more information about them sometime today if not today tomorrow. I'm going to store these away along with the many more blankets that I have. Check back to the post prior to this one.  I posted a pattern for the flower applique and information on how to make a basket. Follow Here: Basket and Flower Applique Susan Y Nikitenko

  I'm working on a couple of projects this basket is one of them. I'm working on 3 lapgans.  Almost finished with all of them. Size N Crochet Hook 4 skeins  Red Heart Multi-Color Reef.  1 skein Cafe Latte Brown and 1 Coffee Brown, 1 Real Teal,  1 Turquoise,  1 Minty or light Turka.  Red Heart Yarn -  3 yarn threads on the basket The entire bottom is made with the Multi-Colored Reef. The top four rows are Cafe Latte. The center of the flower is Cafe Latte. The next color is Coffe Brown Then The Real Teal continues nearly to completion.  Turquoise for the center button. Then the lighter minty blue and at the end.   I worked with two threads throughout the whole flower project except  for the minty blue  at the end.  I followed this pattern on u-tube but I decided to add a solid color at the top with the Cafe Latte. Then I made this applique to adorn the front. Cafe Latte Start: Row One:   the project with a Magic Ring  (MR)  sc 10 and pull the string to tighten the ring.   SS s
