This post will be a bit picture heavy, as I have been sewing quite a bit, but not blogging. I'll just show you what I've been working on with a little caption under each photo. Deal?
This is a mini quilt I made for Lizze for Christmas. I used Parisville fabric in a Dresden plate pattern.
A Kindle cover I made for the shop, but I fell in love with it, so it's now mine.
Here's a few more Kindle covers. These ones actually will end up in the shop eventually.
And two custom Kindle covers I made for my friend Christine's mom. She chose these fabrics from what I had on hand.
This is the pincushion (plus a few extra goodies) I sent to my partner for a swap. I got mine in the mail a few days ago, along with another pincushion for a swap I did with Lizze. I'm saving those for their own post though. I'll show you soon!
I loved the cathedral window pinnie I made for my partner so I decided to make one for me.
I have wanted to knit socks for a long time. I found this gorgeous sock yarn at a local yarn shop here and couldn't resist.
Since I had never made socks before, I decided to try with a cheapy yarn for practice.
This is my sock progress so far. It's slow going because I have so much to do lately, but hopefully I'll have a pair to wear very soon.
Love those pincushions, they are so cool!!! And the Kindle covers are great too, I need to have you make one for my iPad!!! And don't forget the makeup bags:)
