WIP Thursday - May the 4th Be With You!

Once again it's time to celebrate my nerdiness...With Star Wars day!  And what better way than with new fabrics!  I didn't have time to turn these into anything amazing (yet), but I have plans.  BIG plans.

Awesome shirt panel from Backstitch fabrics

I have this in giant minky and small t-shirt sized panels.  I'm thinking snugly blanket and pillows for the couch!

So many awesome characters!

There was some progress made this week...but not as much as I hoped!  Cutting out the embroidered backlog is a never ending task...but I made a small dent!

Finger puppets, book marks, pencil toppers and key chains!

And I even started sewing some of the crayon rolls that have been cut out for almost a year.  Or maybe more than a year....

Hopefully kids still like pirates...I mean what's NOT to like about pirates?

And in other random news, I think my book only has one more round of review before I start my quest to get it published!

Current Projects:

• Ellen's Esplanade - Using some awesome custom printed Harry Potter Coffee fabric!Done!
• Possibly pattern testing - Fabric selected, now to squeeze it in between packing!
• Ruched Shirt - Going to try this one using some of my less fancy knit fabric, hopefully it is fast and flattering! 

Current Crochet Projects:

• WeeBee baby doll  -  Tail/bikini left. 
• Chunky Unicorn Blanket - almost finished up to the hood, then just ears, horn, and fringe!
• Figuring out C2C (corner to corner) crochet with some random scarfie yarn...it's pretty fast and fun so far, but I haven't gotten to the decrease part yet...
• Started working on cowls for the fall because they are mindless and fast...but I really should totally finish them, not leave them with tails and button-less...

Next Projects: (orders and using up fabric)

• Handkerchief Purse
• Bag of the Month - February and March - going to try to do at least 4 of the patterns before the club ends in June!
• custom knit leggings - Harry Potter marauder's map (?)
• Tote bags using my new coffee panels - India Swoon Pattern?
• Baby quilt - Jungle Path pattern
• Baby Mermaid gown
