So...only 5 days until Christmas is upon us...anyone actually ready?? My final order went out this morning, now to start working on everything else...and maybe catching up on sleep...I've been seeing a bit too much of 1 am in the last week...
|
Last purse...random picture because I don't want to reveal before Christmas! |
Minky wasn't actually that bad to work with...it was the cuddle fabric that tried to attack me when I cut it...which didn't deter me from wanting to try turning my extra scraps into some cute stuffed animals next week...I may be a glutton for punishment!
|
Back of one of the minky blankets. My dot backing was slightly too small, so a stripe of the fun fabric to the rescue! |
I think the rest of this week will be sewing some pj's for my kids (and maybe myself) - time to start using up the fabric collection! Next week will be organizing and cleaning the craft studio, so I should run across some fun stuff!
|
I need a pretty cunning pattern for this fabric... |
|
More fun fabrics demanding to be sewn! |
