Pet placemats
I made cute little place-mats for my pets. I have a cat and and dog. They are both christmas place-mats so I will need to make more after the season is over. I know its the norm, but I made a fishy for the cat and a bone for the dog. I'm not the best at drawing so they are perfect but they turned out alright I think. They do not have batting in them because I figured the pets don't need it. Hope you like them!

Halloween Costumes part 1
I made my very own Patchwork Cloak. This is my Halloween Costume this
year. Sorry, Pics aren't the best. This took me a week to sew it all
together. Took me about a month to cut all the squares. I did the dogs
costume about a month or two ago. That one only took me a day to cut
and sew. I still have to make my husbands cape. We are modern day
Gleemen. If you don't know what a Gleeeman is read the Wheel of Time
series by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson. My husband read the
series and got the idea. I made my cloak for under 30 bucks. You can
buy similar coats for any amount....the most expensive I have found was
in the $500 range.....I have not found one under $75. This was made
with absolutely no pattern. I took my measurements....even those were
used loosely. I kept having to add and subtract squares as I was
sewing. For the sleeves I had to add a whole section to each to get
the shape I wanted. I also used an old sweatshirt to mark the size of
the sleeve whole I needed. It was a little big so I took in the
shoulders a tiny bit to compensate. It was fairly easy to make. Once
all the squares were sewn together it took maybe 2.5 days to sew it all
together. It was fun and easy. I lined the whole thing with plain
black cotton fabric. I can't wait to finish Lee's and post pictures of
all of us in our costumes.
