What have you sewn lately?

Love it!

I've only hemmed pants.

Sewing on some cards.

An Elsa dress and cape for DD. I need to redo her Christmas stocking and hope I have enough time left to get it done before Christmas with everything else we've got going on!

Last Sunday I recovered the cushions in our window seat. By hand. I was planning on machine stitching with piping on the edges, and a zipper to get them off for cleaning, but I thought it would be quicker to just wrap and whip-stitch. Ugh, not really. It took me all day, because stupid me bought a stripe, that had to be straight.

But the funny part is before stitching I had one all pinned up and in the window and DH commented that he thought we were going with the "darker" side (read - wrong side). I agreed. So I re-pinned and stitched them wrong side out. It really does look better. I stitched a note inside each one stating that I KNOW that the fabric is inside out, but we like it better. I also put my name and the date. LOL!

I finished the quilt top from my quilting class and as soon as I finish the back it can be taken to be quilted.

I have some mending to do. In fact, when the delivery guys were here with the stove and dishwasher the other day, I'd forgotten to hide my bra that's sitting on the dining room table waiting for me to restitch the strap.

I did finally get around to making those kitchen curtains. We'll see if DDs notice when they're home at Christmas.

I'm trying to finish the stocking my grandma started for DS while I was pregnant. She was trucking along on it and then my grandpa got sick, she fell and broke her hip and then they both moved into assisted living. My mom found it about half finished in their house and brought it to me at Thanksgiving. I love that we're both putting our hands on it! But I do want to finish it before Christmas since this is DS's third year without a stocking otherwise. Well, I bought a cheapy one as a temporary one, but it's nothing special.

I've just been working on my stock for craft shows - small bags, can cozies, stocking stuffers. I need to sew 15 more pillowcases for an order, sew the family christmas gifts because that is happening the day after my craft show, AND somehow get some more knitting done.

Your quilt is beautiful!

I decided to finally finish the duvet covers that I started for my DS last year! One done, one still need buttonholes and buttons. A little surprise Christmas gift - what teen boy doesn't want bedding for Christmas!

I hate it too.  That is what quilting is: cutting fabric pieces exactly so the pieces line up!

i put together a quick pattern; Turning Twenty.  My quilting buddy also called it a "lazy" pattern. 

I'm working on a rag quilt. I'm hoping to get it finished this week.

I am not sure what dream duffel curtains are, as I only have boys.  Those look adorable.  You are very talented. 

Duffels, not ruffles! Typos.

Ok what are dream duffles? I love the variety of all you've made! I also would love to see the tutu!


Well, this stocking is kicking my booty. I'm sick and worked on it most of the day but I still feel like I'm never going to finish it. Today I made a little felt ball, teddy bear, paint brush and started a train. I hope to finish and attach the train tomorrow and then decide what to do. At that point the instructions tell me to sew the stocking back side on, so at that time it's functional. Do I stop and work on other stuff (I.e. Wrapping gifts, finish shopping, etc.) and come back to it if there's time? At least its to the point Santa can fill it and I can finish it in January. I need a clone of myself
