I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and that Santa was good to you. This last week I’ve been cleaning the flat, unearthing WIPs (some of which I’ve finished since) and cooking/baking. This coming week I’ll be going to the gym and seeing what I can sew – I’m determined to get rid of some lurking WIPs that have been around for a while in half finished states, so I might do a bit of that. What about you? Have you got lots of sewing plans to fill your time between now and the New Year?
Finishes This Week:
A couple of years ago when I did the video for my class on Skillshare to make a basic tote bag, I did a number of step outs which have been sitting ever since. I dug them out when I was cleaning and decided to finish them off and pass them on to people that would appreciate them, so here’s 6 finished totes:
I also finished my advent calendar… just in time for next year!
And then there was new Christmas bedding for Jack:
And finally there’s gran’s cushions for Christmas, seen here in situ:
The fabric for the cushions has a fabulous pattern/texture:
In Progress This Week:
I have a couple of secret projects that I can’t share for now, but trust me I’m working on them ;o)
To Be Worked On This Week:
- Finishing the secret projects
- Getting my gym washbag made up (one of the many WIPs unearthed!)
- Maybe working on a new pattern (we’ll see how fast time escapes!)
Have a lovely week all, and a great New Year!
Your finished projects are all great but the cushions take star billing for me as, not only do they look and feel fantastic, they actually stay in place and do not go sliding off the sofa as the old ones did.
Have a another wonderful sewing year and may all the projects you wish to complete in 2019 come to fruition.
Your Gran’s cushions look fantastic! I’m sure she’s very pleased with them.
I have numerous WIPs in bins and bags and totes filling my work area that I should be trying to finish but they’ll have to wait a little longer for me to get around to them.
In mid April a new little bundle of joy will be making her appearance at my granddaughter’s home and I’m hoping to have a crib quilt ready for her arrival. Since this project got it’s start the day before Christmas it’s going to be front and center on things to be worked on. I’m hoping to hand quilt rather than machine quilt and that’s going to add a wee bit more time to the project. ;o)
