So, all has not been lost lately, as I have been doing some sewing! My best friend received her birthday gift so now I can blog about it. Win! I sewed her a table runner using a charm pack. I also bought some backing fabric that matched and I think it came together quite nicely. She liked it so that's another win! Here it is....
I also sewed a couple sunglass cases, as I bought a pair of new sunglasses recently and did not have a case for them. One case was for my friend and one for me. I like how they turned out and they were easy to construct.
I started sewing my dress from the Collete pattern and have run into some fit issues. Overall, I like how it is turning out but will need to work on it a bit to get the right fit. For now I have put it aside and moved along to other projects. I find that this is how I seem to sew. If it turns out great, win! If it's not turning out as I had hoped, I usually get frustrated and put it aside for a bit in order to make something else. The good news is that there is ALWAYS something else to sew!!
In other news I am going on a cruise next Friday, the 14th. Super win! And it's with the New Kids on the Block. Super Duper Win! I had wanted to sew some sun dresses to take with me and I was able to get 1 made from some Amy Butler fabric I had sitting around for some time. I am really happy with how it turned out and it didn't take too long to put together. I started it last Sunday and then on Monday night and Tuesday finished it up!
What have you been sewing/making lately?
