WIP Friday - Stay In and SEW!

Really, other than the stress of empty stores, nothing much has changed for us. Except we're all home all the time now....so that's a perfect excuse to hide in my sewing studio even more!

decided to try a stuffy with super squishy stretchy fabric...I need to stuff him still, but pretty cute!

This strike off sewing will get featured Monday!

I might get motivated to organize again, hopefully.  And maybe destash more fabrics...but I think I'll hang onto the flannel for now, just in case I need to make wash cloths... ;)  The great thing is that the crafting and sewing communities are really trying to help where they can, and there are so many designers offering free or discounted patterns right now to lift spirits!

Current Crochet Projects:

• The Child giant version - only needs his clothes!

• Cotton face scrub pads - I will try to get back to these, still have all the supplies!

• Cotton coffee cup cozies - add buttons and felties, keep making more...
• WeeBee baby doll  - Just needs some face details, and maybe a swimsuit to wear when she's not in her tail...bikini sort of works...made up my own pattern and it's interesting...
• Chunky Unicorn Blanket - almost finished up to the hood, then just ears, horn, and fringe! - This got stashed somewhere, so I need to remember where the 'safe place' is.
• C2C (corner to corner) baby doll blanket crochet with some random scarfie yarn - Need to figure out what hook I was using...
• Mermaid tail towel, need to dig this back out.
•  C2C blanket for my son, already the right width and height, finally on the end stretch!
