Commentary about works in progress, design & creativity
Remember I said that these pouches were like making candy? I gave one of my I Spy pouches to someone on my team, so I just made another one for my Cotton Candy pouch acrylic templates. This one follows the theme of the others. I used the Anna Maria Coneflower fabric again along with some … Continue reading “New I Spy Pouch Start & Finished”

It is so strange to think of these bags as pouches. I really think of pouches as the one zip things like the Cotton Candy Pouch pattern. Still, Sara at Sew Sweetness calls these pouches. She is way more experienced than me. This is another one of the Minikins Season 3 patterns from Sew Sweetness, … Continue reading “Hackney Pouch Almost Finished”

After I posted the last 26 Projects post, Sue S commented that I had accomplished a lot. It made me wonder if I should just post the new stuff and not make it an accumulation? That might make it easier to see what I have accomplished in one month. I tried it, but the result … Continue reading “26 Projects 2022 #10”

Last month I wrote “I started this list as reminder of everything I had started or wanted to make, but also to show how much I had a accomplished“. I need to remind myself of my accomplishments as I embark on another finishing jag. I may have a lot to do, but I have also … Continue reading “26 Projects 2022 #8”
I started this list as reminder of everything I had started or wanted to make, but also to show how much I had a accomplished. I need to remind myself of this fact as I embark on another finishing jag. I may have a lot to do, but I have also accomplished a lot. Finishing … Continue reading “26 Projects 2022 #7”
If any project required attention to process, this one did. My friend has been talking with me about helping her make a bag. I have been putting it off because of work and other things. Since I have a break from a lot of responsibilities, I felt it was time to get the bag made. … Continue reading “Bagmaking and Designing”
I made another Retreat Pouch the other day. I cut up the fabric when I went to visit Tim, then decided to sew the pouch on Saturday. I am ridiculously pleased at how this Retreat Pouch came together. I think it looks great! It is also a great project. Once the pieces are cut the … Continue reading “Retreat Pouch #2”

This is the mask I made for my SIL to go with the Butterfly Cotton Candy Pouch. I actually finished it on December 19. As I have said, I have to wait to show off gifts as some of my recipients read this blog. I was amazed at how easily it went together. I really … Continue reading “Gift Post #6: Butterfly Mask”
I finished the Butterfly pouch I talked about the other day. It was a relatively quick project and despite some problems I am happy with how it turned out. I resolved the size issue by cutting off the excess on the side panels. I think this is a little smaller than others I have made, … Continue reading “Gift Post #5: Butterfly Pouch”

As I said earlier this month, I finished the Sheffield Tool Bag the week before Christmas. I am usually pretty pleased with the Sew Sweetness patterns, but I found this one particularly easy to put together. The ease of putting together this bag was in direct contrast to my memory of putting the Quilt Illustrated … Continue reading “Gift Post #4: Sheffield Tool Bag”
