Unique and different tablet covers

Awhile back I had made these tablet (e-reader) covers for my mini ipad .  I since then have made so many others.  

www.yolandascreations.storenvy.comI really enjoy making these 😋.  I took a different approach and started to sew buttons or flowers on the front.   I also started to make them long and then sew the sides which would allow me to sew the flowers or buttons or even fabric inside.

I still use 100% cotton yarn for the sturdiness but you can use any yarn you prefer.  And don't forget stock up on your favorite yarn like I do when they have them on sale.  My local craft stores are AC Moore or Michaels. 

These covers/caddies are a great way to protect your e-reader device while stashed away in your purse or bag.

Crochet Clutch Purses

I have been crocheting purses now a while and I can tell you I do not get tired of creating these.

I like going to my local AC Moore craft store and going to this huge basket where they have some of the coolest acrylic yarn. I find yarn that you normally would not find in your regular yarn shelf.  Which is ok with me because it allows me to make a one-of-a-kind purse (hence the brown ombre you see here).

I have found that my cool buttons for my bigger purses I find online at Joann’s Fabric.
Each of these have a cotton fabric lining which I have sewn by hand.  The only thing I do use the sewing machine for is for sewing the lining to the zipper (which I do first) I sew the button to the outside of the purse before I sew the lining directly to the purse. 
All of these beautiful creations I always crochet in the same stitch (1/2 double crochet) to give it a more tight look.

All of my crocheted creations are made with care. Item comes from a non-smoking home. Hand washing is recommended and line dry preferably. 
I hope you have the time to make some of these for yourself or to give as a gift or even sell them.. Be adventurous with your creations.

Crochet Cotton Sage Ombre Baby Booties

Here I am showing you a crochet cotton baby booties that I created recently.  Believe it or not this is not even an entire skein of cotton yarn.  I had enough to make these and possibly one more pair.  Great way again to use up your left over yarn from a previous project.

The yarn I used is by Lily Sugar'n Cream Country Sage Ombre (the link will give you an idea what the yarn looks like).  I can tell you if you are like me sometime the cotton yarn can be a tad bit expensive.  I take advantage of getting several colors and skeins when they are on sale or I use a coupon.  I totally love this yarn.  I love using these for several creations.  I like getting mine from AC Moore and racking up on my points! to get more in the future - what can I tell you...I love being given credit for purchasing items in my local store.   But I also will get them at Michaels or Joann's online. 

Now for this here I did crochet the bottom part first and then I crochet the band across the bootie and then sewed it on with the same yarn and then sewed the button afterwards.

The is all done with a 1 double crochet stitch throughout the entire bootie.  All of the ones I have made (and once I get all the pictures done you will see) measure 3 inches long.  They are also machine washable.
