Still Sewing...

Well, it's almost a new year, but I'm still sewing. And post Christmas sewing is far more relaxing :-) Christmas is over, but I will make it as a New Year's gift. I hope your handmade holidays were as joyful as mine.

my cutting space is a joke. i need a bigger work surface...

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays

Sew & Tell - Lisa's Birdie Sling Bag

So, is everyone busy sewing? Not really? Warning! warning!...you know that there is just a week to finish everything if you are exchanging a gift. What are you guys making? Me? To be honest, I haven't started yet. I love making and giving simple things like napkins and tea towels. But, you know you can't do that every year to the same person. I know I should be making something like Lisa has been making. A bag! This is Lisa's very first bag. She is so excited about it. She was modest about her sewing skills, but I think she did a wonderful job. Who cares if the stitches are a bit off? Not that her stitches are off. They are fine, I told her. It's more important that she enjoyed the whole making of it. You might have noticed that she used this pattern. Good job, Lisa and thank you!

Polka Dots

Yay, Dottie is here. I just love polka dots!


i made this sundress a few years ago with a very similar polka dot fabric and have been waiting for it to come out since then...
