Wow, what is this???

Hello all... for those who have read Pretend Like You're knitting... welcome to stage 2: "Pretend Like You're Sewing"
So.... Why a new blogger blog?? Because I like blogging on Blogger more than on my Weebly site. And, because My knitting blog i had for so long. and i'm hoping now to focus more on sewing and stuff. Hopefully i will not bore you to tears!

anyway... i guess i should charge my camera!

Here's what I have finished lately:
Madeline Mini Bloomers by Colette Patterns (shocking i know, but they're super cute and quick to sew.) I made another pair a few months ago. This time i made them in white with weird blue polka dots. And, instead of ribbons for the legs i used elastic, which worked better for me.

Pot holders: I used this batting that is more heat-proof. Simple, super easy to sew, and they would make really good potholders.

I'm also working on a secret project for a friend. I have some more embroidery to do.
I'm also working on another top secret project with a friend. so... more about that later.

I also finished a dress that i converted into a skirt. I cut the dress off at the waist, added wide blue fancy elastic, and i defined the pocket edges with bias tape.

I also have been cutting out some patterns, and cutting a lot of scraps for rag rugs. if you don't know...i have lots and lots of fabric. I am getting through it slowly, but now is the time to figure out future projects and stuff. I was thinking this morning how many projects i have planned (that i already have the materials for)

- Denim quilt (squares cut)
- black and white quilt (triangles cut)
- T shirt quilt - i have squares cut and recently got some interfacing to stabilize it.
- Black white and red dress (fabric bought)
- Purse (i just bought a pattern and cut some of the fabric.)
- Swimsuit (halfway done! I guess i should get to it)
- Knitted grey blanket (gifted to me, half made - i guess i should think about what i'm going to do with it)
- Wool Pendleton quilt (patching over mismatched patches- it will be a good winter project)
- Knit socks for my sister - ugh...why do i neglect them?
- Knit green/blue socks for me - also neglected for about a year.
- Pajama pants - i think in this stripy bright blue fabric i have.
- and one thing i'm really excited about: A clothing label wall hanging/thing. basically i've saved a lot of clothing labels. you know like THIS.
So i think i will sew them on some fabric backing...in a square or circle. i haven't decided yet if it should be a shadow box or something...but i will figure that out. a lot of them are from my grandpa's old ties. also from clothing of mine (like all the t shirts i cut up for my quilt).

More photos later!
