SliCE FaBrIQuE!

A new little project or two made with my Slice Fabrique!

I used my Urban Kid design card cartridge!
I LOVE to re-purpose stuff! This Swim Bag was made out of an old denim skirt I had in storage. I was going to donate it... but I couldn't get over all the great denim fabric I was going to give away.....
my boys needed another swim bag so that's what I made....

It's reversible.... (this side is more for me..:)

Denim is EVERYWHERE!!! Have you noticed?

(My sister made me one of these when I was 10 years old!)

think I still have it somewhere.....

guh!... cute!

I also used my Urban Kid lettering to make

 a Monogram Pillow (made out of a shower curtain from Target!)

I love the waffle texture and the grommit pocket!

Here is a picture of all the things my Urban Kid design card will do for ya...



That's it for now.... make sure you click over and become a fan of Slice on Facebook for more great ideas on how to use your SLICE!

SuNSeT BEaCh - with Henry Glass

Boutique Cafe and yours truly!

It's always a little distracting to see yourself being video taped! I don't know about you, but I have a tendency to pick myself apart!

......I shouldn't have worn that, guh! .....My hair! Oh why did I wear my hair like that? Do I really look like that when I talk? ha!

and it goes on and on.... 

And of course it doesn't help to hear your 5 yr. old say... "Is that you Mommy? You look weird."

Nice.

Anyhow, here it is. Despite all my own criticisms, I am truly grateful to my friend, sweet Daria for featuring me on the Boutique Cafe giving me a chance to show you all my new boys collection Sunset Beach! It was going to debut in October at Quilt Market in Houston, but it has been pushed back a bit and will be hitting stores in March 2012.  If you love hip, edgy boy surfer fabric with awesome colors, plaids and geometric prints perfect for your boys room etc.... please make sure you ask your favorite quilt shop for it!

If you run over to Boutique Cafe and leave a comment, Daria will be doing a give away for some of my own personal stash of my 1st fabric collection called Pacific Trade Winds from Studio E.  This fabric is still available for purchase. Check my website for stores that carry it!

Here are some swatches for you to see up close.....

I've been working on some girly outfits for my little great niece!

Yep! You heard right! GREAT NIECE! Guh! Suddenly I feel old!

Since I don't have a girl of my own, I get to use my need to be girly and create for others! Which I find very enjoyable actually. :)

The Slice Fabrique blog is featuring me this week! I got to make a little 4th of July outfit and something a little retro pink to showcase the more "girly" side of  my design card called Urban Kid made exclusively for the Slice Fabrique!

1. First I ironed the fusible webbing to the back of my material.

2. Then I cut out all the shapes I wanted to use with my Slice Fabrique using my Urban Kid design card.

3. Next I ironed the shapes and lettering on to the onesie and stitched around it.   

4. Then I sewed up a little 4th of July skirt to go with using my Pacific Trade Winds Fabric by Studio E!

2nd Project!

1. Then I wanted to do something a little retro girly :) Following the same steps as 1-4, I choose the scooter design, using the shadow shape available on my card out of one fabric, and the scooter shape out of another fabric to compliment. 

2. Ironed it all down before completing the apron on my skirt,

3. Stitched around each cut, and after finishing the little skirt,..... whipped up a little peasant top to go with! 

Guh! How cute is that?

Run over to Slice and check out all the great designers that will be part of the Blogroll!

ENJOY!

SliCE FaBrIQuE!

So, Here is a little snipit from the Salt Lake Quilt Market

This is the Slice Fabrique Booth where my design card was featured. And here are some of the other designers who are involved!

this little machine cuts out shapes from the design card you put in it, and you get something like this....

 

my DS card is called Urban Kid and these are the shapes you can cut out with my card...

I'm Sooooo excited about this machine and what it can do! Check back over the week and next week for projects using the Slice Fabrique and Urban Kid!

SLiCE FaBrIQuE!

 Finally! It seems like it was FOREVER ago when I told you about some cool things happening with Making Memories! Finally, I can show you what I have been up to! I'm so excited to be a part of such a great company! The Slice Fabrique cuts awesome shapes out for you to applique on to FABRIC!

This little gadget is a hands free, cordless fabric cutting machine! It comes with some basic shapes and letters for you to use, but I have designed some super cool designs especially for your "URBAN KID". That is the name of my DS card! Here are some examples of the designs my specific URBAN KID card will have....

My URBAN KID card will include this free quilt project as well! I whipped this puppy out in like 2 days! Shipped if off to Slice for photographing..... nearly missed Fed-Ex 6pm cut off! GUH!

Again, my friend Mindy Johnston did the quilting (saved my backside by doing it on super short notice!) Thanks Mindy! 

I'm pretty happy with how it turned out! And, my card is not just for boys....  It's for all URBAN KIDS! Girls too! I just LOVE my cute little MUSHROOMS!





 

I made this for my soon to be born Great Niece Alexendria.... yep you heard right! GREAT NIECE! I have several actually..... suddenly, I feel quite old- but I digress.....

Look at all the cute stuff you can do with this thing!!!.....

I'll be posting some more pics of what some of the other designers are doing as well. 

Like my friend, fabulous fabric designer Bari J.

her designs go with her Paris Apartment collection.

Super cute stuff people!

You want one of these!
