On a roll

I finished a project for me! Yippee! It is Simplicity 2898. The neckline is very low so I make a modesty panel. I did my second FBA. It's getting easier to cut apart the pattern pieces, but it still makes me nervous.

1.5 yds out

Another project finished

I finished the bra (Jalie 2564) for E. It's really cute. I used some new lingerie elastic. I can't wait to use more of that stuff.

It only took 1/4 of a yard.

A three hour cruise

Goodness! The new ironing board cover should have taken a few hours. Instead it took all day. All day long. I finally found fabric and cut it out. Then I oh so carefully cut off the top portion that was supposed to be just a pattern. Then the search began for new fabric. Took a while to find some fabric of the right length.

1.5 yds out
1.5 yds of regular batting out (also took way too long to find enough)
1.5 yds of insul-brite ( the only thing not stash)
1 pkg of bias tape (old, but useful)

Spotting UFO's

I finished a UFO!

From Drop Box


I started it for L years ago. It fits H, and she loves it. More details later.

1.75 yards out
1 really old zipper out.

Earlier, I also made a Bible cover for Charlie's b'day. It turned out really cool but a bit too big. I need a pic of it. That was 2 yds plus some batting that's been hanging around for a couple of years. I used the name tag and NBC patch from his old Army gear. I love that!
