I've been sewing in bits and pieces - sometimes even for a few hours straight, but somehow it doesn't amount to much for show and tell. Five pairs of boxer shorts for my son - didn't take pictures. Do I really need to show my son's underwear to the world? Then my daughter requested that I send
her Christmas tree ornaments. Packing them was going to be a challenge. Those that are most breakable I decided not to send. There was still quite a boxful. To line the box, I decided to make something useful. Hot pads. (Trivets? - or are they only called that when they're made of a hard material?) I "discovered some bits in my box of Christmas fabrics and stitched these up.
Even at age 24, my daughter still likes "cute".
I do think that these pieces have been in the box for some time. When were these Daisy Kingdom prints popular? Decades ago, as I recall.
In the works - a raincoat that will likely not see the outside world till spring, But I really need to finish it and get it out of the sewing room, so that I can continue with other projects with a clear conscience.
Cute is okay for Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI have a lot of this sort of sewing to do myself. It won't get done though, I broke a needle and now the bobbin case is rattling. I think it might be a sign that it is time to put the machine aside and get going on other Xmas preparations!
ReplyDeleteI am interested to see your raincoat.
Very cute, and useful too!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see your raincoat either.
You have been productive. I remember those Daisy Kingdom panels being around when my sons were little, so that would have to be 15-18 or so years ago.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to seeing the raincoat.
Lovely items and also looking forward to your rain coat.
ReplyDeleteWhat a treat.
