Ear buddy

I hate digging in my purse looking for my earbuds. Once I find them buried then I have to un tangle them.  This is a pain and too much work for me. So I had to make myself this case to save me time. I especially Love how easy it is to find at the bottom of my purse:-) are you sick of this too? You should

Nursing scarf

New infinity scarf idea! This one I think will be attractive to all the mommies who are breastfeeding. I can be the first to say it can be uncomfortable to be in a public when your little one gets hungry. I admit times have changed since I have nursed, but I'm sure it can get awkward depending on the location.

Since I am on this scarf kick I decided to try making a nursing infinity scarf. This one I made out of leftover materials, but in my opinion it turned out nice. It is wide enough to give your little ones some privacy while eating too! wouldn't this make a great shower or hospital gift ? Or maybe you need one to add to your scarf collection? The options are endless:)

Started from the bottom....

As I was going through picture albums. I came across these pictures♥ they are of my very first sewing projects with and without my sewing machine. I made my oldest (Age 3) a Mike Wazowski costume for Halloween. I was so proud that I had accomplished my first homemade sewing machine project. I have also posted a picture of him in his bears costume (Age 2) Papa loved that. He was a bears fan... and my household is a packer home;) I also posted a picture of a maternity shirt turned hot mama top! I had not realized how long I've been on this sewing kick. Makes sense that MrJohnson bought me the sewing machine. He has always been the water to my seeds always encouraging my growth. That in itself is a blessing I'm thankful for.

I am a creative person who wants to do it all:) I am following my dreams (literally) and this is my journey. I hope you enjoy my work, leave me comments or even purchase some of my work as we go:) email sewnbymizzizj@gmail.com if you see something you like and like me on fb too! Facebook.com/sewnbymizzizj.

Thanks a million for the support♥

Grown-up shirts

These tanks were made specially for my sister from another mother (but I am now sharing my mom with her) I could not resist and had to make them. they are right up her alley and since she lives in ATL she is already sporting them.

No need to say it when your shirt speaks for you... right!?

I have a bunch of tees I want to try out. Pretty exciting to expand into this area of design. The possibilities are endless and that has got my creative juices flowing.

Do you have a saying you want add to a tee or tank top for you or a little one you know?

The options are endless.  Available in all sizes men, women,  children and infant.

Spring scarf

Upcycled this skirt into two scarfs. Now they are headed to the post office. I must say they'll be perfect for spring when it finally arrives.

Moral of this story.... Don't throw away old clothes. Send them in for upcycling.

My fuzzy memories

This was my dads blanket he got when he started dialysis and the bandanas were my little sister's. She wore them all the time. As you can see she had one in every color.

Since my dad's passing I have had this blanket on my bed. It's been perfect, I'm usually chilli and need a blanket to get cozy and warm when I relax.
Since my sister's murder the bandanas have been folded in storage. Because I did not want to lose or misplace any of them.

I thought it would be a great idea to join the memories to make one. As I was pining MrJohnson commented that it was like they were ment to be together.  Because they fit perfectly over dad's blanket. I'm pretty sure I have misplaced one. The blue bandanna.... there is no way she would have been without that color. Nonetheless they do indeed fit perfectly and I could not be more happy.

Are you holding on to something you can't let go of, but no longer use it?
