Finally, just got down to it and got some stuff done over the long weekend! There's just been a bunch of little things piling up, but I finally started crossing things off.
Like these little snack bags for a friend. They don't take long, but they just kept getting pushed to the back of my mind. So I decided to take an afternoon and just do it.
They're two different tutorials. The ones that lie flat are from this tutorial from Owen's Olivia. And the stand up ones are from a tutorial at Mauby's. We use both constantly, so I'm sure they'll get plenty of use.
And I got to use one of my favorite fabrics. It's from Robert Kaufman. I love it, but it just never seems like the right project for it, but this is perfect. I might end up making a few more for myself.
After the bags were so quick and checked of the list, I then finished another gift quilt top, made pants for a friend's kid, tidied the area I've taken over with my sewing in the dining room, and cast on some socks.
Why knit socks? Because I don't know how. Can't wait to get these done because they're super warm and I keep trying this one on and loving it.
Here's hoping that the rest of the week is just as productive!
Linking up with Blossom Heart Quilts for Sew Cute Tuesday!
I love that knit print! What is it?
ReplyDeleteIt's from Joann's. Go fast though, it was on the super clearance rack marked down to $5. I'll probably go get more too. It's super cute.
DeleteI keep seeing that knit print at JoAnn and wondering what to do with it - now I HAVE to get some and make myself a knitting bag.
ReplyDeleteI'm honestly surprised you don't have any yet. How is that possible?
DeleteWhy knit socks?!? Oh my dear. Now that you have finished one you know, right? I have only done 1 pair but i love them way more than my Smartwool socks. I am amazed that is self-striping yarn!
