DIY.. Girls Trip Swag Bags

in DIY Projects, Print On Fabric on 06/05/14

My husband gave me a Silhouette Cameo for Christmas. Until last weekend, it just sat and sat and sat in the box…

I was ignoring it on purpose. My husband would ask me “Um, what’s up..? That was an expensive present to just sit in the box… ” Truthfully, while I had yearned for this machine for EVER, I was intimated and overwhelmed by the thought of figuring it all out.

Girls Trip!! For months I had been envisioning using my Silhouette to create fun swag bags for our yearly girls trip.. This May, 13 of us were headed to Santa Barbara and I had “Hello Cali” on my brain.. With two days to go until departure, I plugged in the machine got to work making 15 bags. Lol. Nothing like a little pressure to get the job done…Right?

I bought the font and “hello” from the Silhouette online store.  Hello is from the artist Jillibean Soup and the font is from the artist Lori Whitlock. I LOVE how the bags turned out! The girls were surprised and very impressed. Here is my friend Sue goofing around for an Instagram pic by the pool. I am beyond hooked on this little machine.

We rented a house this year.  Let’s just say that we were a little giddy about the digs when we arrived.. Here are a few pictures. The 3rd pic down is the “pool room” and where I slept on bed large enough for 4 people.. It was a separate area detached from the house. Lol. Not too shabby, right?

Well, that’s it for today. Happy Sewing! Ps. You can now follow me on Instagram

    Very cool! Sometimes I procrastinate using new stuff too because it takes some brain workouts to get into them. Looks like a super cool tool now that you’ve figured it out though! And the house is gorgeous!

    I know exactly how you felt Marni. It took me 3 years to use my new Brother Innovis 80. I felt intimidated and wondering if I was going to be able to figure it out. Well, I’ve been working on it for about 2 months now, and I love it. I still feel I need some instruction (a lot of instruction) on this machine, which I will get free from the dealer. Maybe I’ll start going next week . . . we’ll see!!

      Lol.. Thanks for the email. It made my day. I want a new Janome sewing machine and am worried I will keep this super fancy machine in the box for a few months.. Have great week-end!

I have a drawer where I keep all of my block print I have a drawer where I keep all of my block printed papers and have often wondered.. “What the heck do I do with all of these”.

How about you?

I recently found a bunch of  tutorials over at @modpodgerocks and thought it would be fun to make wood coasters with my block prints. They turned out better than expected and so I thought to share with you.

Want more info? I created a blog post. See the link in my profile for the blog post and details.

I’ve got one more triangle print to share and I I’ve got one more triangle print to share and I think that’s a wrap. Simple and easy. The pin cushion on that right that was gifted to me from my grandmother Mor Mor really takes the stage in my opinion 

The circle shape is next. I’m excited to work with no corners and see what will unfold.

Who knew the triangle shape could be so much fun? I have had a blast the last playing around with it - both dissecting the shape and putting it back together. 

Which one is your favorite?

I can’t believe I am saying this, but Im ready to move on to a new shape. One that is more soft and organic. Next up, the circle!
