Two finishes this week. You heard me. Two. Finishes.
Completed:
Skirt Sew-Along - I did it! I made a skirt! That I can totally wear! Like, in public! It has a zipper! That I put in! This is worthy of all seven exclamation points in this paragraph! I'll have a full post on it as soon as I can get some decent pictures of me wearing it.
Pear Tree project - also done. Also awesome. Mark your calendar for March, because that's when I'll finally be able to show it to you.
New:
I don't know how far I'll get on this one before Christmas, but I spent a little time today deciding which charms to use. I ended up with a combination of charms from AnneMarie's Spoonflower and Japanese swaps, plus some prints from my stash and Heather Ross scraps that Kelly was nice enough to swap with me.
I'm thinking of something along these lines for the accent prints in the feature blocks.

Yay! Congrats on the skirt finish. Zippers aren't too bad in clothing are they? I think they might even be easier because you are dealing with a larger piece of fabric than a bag or pouch.
ReplyDeleteI love your fabrics for the charmed qal. very fun!
Oh, cool!! I've been wondering about how your skirt sewing was going :) Very cool!! And congrats on getting your Pear Tree quilt all finished off too :) Happy Thanksgiving!
