I'm happy to report that I made my goal and finished the double thick crocheted hot pads that I was making. I ended up with 4 sets of 2 in my etsy shop and 13 single hot pads to donate to my church.
I've been working on baby bibs and I have one set in my etsy shop and another set to put snaps on to get listed.
I work on my sewing in kind of a funny way. I only have 4 bobbins, and rarely have many colors of thread on hand to choose from. I work with what thread I have, often times working through one color on a bobbin then switching colors and projects. I have all 4 bobbins filled with a different color. Yeah, I know, doesn't make much sense, but hey, it works for me, and project do eventually get completed.
I kept up my promise to myself to work on the toothbrush I am making for myself. I didn't get as much done on it as I would have liked, but
I watched a video on someone's squidoo lens on making fabric bags. I liked how she did her handles so I'm going to do it that way on my own bags from now on. Not much different than the way I was doing the handles, but less steps. I have 2 ready to complete and 2 more ready to cut and pin.
I have all of the middle strips zig zagged on to the strip quilt that I am making for church. Now I have to figure out the edging. It's square so I know I am doing a thin strip down both sides and larger strips on the top and the bottom. That is waiting now for me to get that blue thread back on to a bobbin. We will meet again for sewing club at church July 12.
That's it for me this week. I hope you will click the buttons below and join along with WIP Wednesday and/or check out what others are up to.
You sound really busy. When I popped in earlier I didn't see your wip post, so here I am again. You're making a toothbrush?
