WIP Monday - This is the May!

I feel like May should be ALL Star Wars, so I have plans to make some fun stuff using my stash! First up was a pattern test using pretty Chewie and embossed vinyl. I also have more inspired strike fabric for a promo backpack, and I have 2 moondance notebook covers set aside to sew up, both using Star Wars vinyl! What else should I add in? More keyfobs, finger puppets, bookmarks, blankets....?

Pre-sewn pic of the strike project, it's done now!

I just need a few extra productive hours in the day to get everything done that I want! I've also been on a book reading kick and want to add some new DCC (Dungeon Crawler Carl) things to my shop and prep for the fall shows. Too many ideas and not enough time and energy to do it all!
