Yesterday, I finished up my new pants! These have got to be the most comfortable pants I've ever had! They're made of stretch corduroy, a wonderfully comfortable fabric! They were also super-easy to make (an "easy Simpicity" pattern). I already had both the fabric and the pattern, so they are also easy on the budget!
I also had a birthday in the family this week. It kind of crept up on me. It's for my little nephew. I had this robot Japanese "Kokka" fabric that I bought in a a big scrap bag of fabric off of Etsy, and knew it'd be perfect. If you haven't typed in "fabric scraps" into Etys's supply search, give it a try!
I also wanted to figure out a way of "writing" on the postcard that was different than machine embroidery or hand stitching, or writing, and suddenly figured out a way to use up (a very wee little bit of) the fabric selvages that I have been saving to some day make one of those awesome selvage projects I've seen in blog land.
I hope you have a great week-end.

oh that card is lovely, and you've just reminded me to get one going for my hubby's b-day tomorrow!
What a cute idea for a card!
cute card and great pants. I have not tried making clothing other than a simple dressing gown. I am going to give those pants a try.
beebee
Making customized postcards for bdays, etc. is a great idea! btw.... http://kissedquilts.blogspot.com/2012/02/antiquing-via-quilts.html I've just awarded you a 'Versatile Blogger Award'!
