Halloween Bucket Fun

Friday, October 19, 2012

This fabric + a little time + my sewing machine = this treat or treat bucket.

Small handles = very functional
Duck canvas = no need for interfacing, fusible anything...
Halloween prints = fun.

Not from a pattern. Just a little playing around. Sewing, for the sake of sewing. Put aside the camera, shun the thoughts of another blog tutorial and just stitch. It was quite wonderfully organic. And very relaxing until I had to figure out how to piece together the orange trim from not-enough-scraps from another project.

The kiddos sure were surprised. And they began right away filling their treat buckets with everything not-Halloween; aka, cars, babies, and trains.

What are you stitching for Halloween?

Welcome!

Hello, I am glad you came. Abbie Living is the place where I share my sewing, knitting, and crafting projects and most importantly, share my passion for helping others in need.

I've lived in impoverished places where children run with no shoes, play without toys, and face a future of hard labor. I knew I would return home to a quiet desk office wearing dress shoes and drinking lattes.

As I grew into a wife, a mother of three, and began my journey as a child of God, I chose a different path. Guided by the Holy Spirit and the memory of the people I'd met in rural Mexico, I decided to combine my creative talents with my passion for giving to create more for those in need.

Here in this space I hope to encourage and inspire others to actively live their talents and share their passions with others so we all can make a better world.
