WIP Tuesday - This is the Sewing That Never Ends...

Or at least it feels like that! I feel like I've been sewing masks for YEARS, and I'm not anywhere close to what a lot of others have done.  I lost track of exactly how many, but just last week I finished up another 51.  And it really hasn't made much of a dent in my fabric collection...hmm.

The words, stripes, eyes and teeth glow in the dark!

Is it a WIP post without masks??  not lately...

After I finally finished the last of the ordered masks, I needed a break and time to get caught up on purses, so while I WILL eventually take more mask orders, today is not that day.  Maybe Thursday...but we'll see...In the meantime, need to catch up on a bunch of orders that all came in at once, good thing most of them are quick ones!

I want to make about 20 more of these to have in case there are fall craft shows!

I'm loving the quick and stylish look of the Begonia Drawstring backpacks. I might have to go invest in the drawstring cording for some fast ready to ship items, the pattern calls for fabric straps, but they are too similar to what I'm doing for masks and making a ton MORE of those straps might drive me insane, so fast and easy drawstrings are next on the buying list if I do want to make more...after the first 3 I'm doing. ;)

• 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.

• Mermaid tail towel, need to dig this back out.
