More sewing

The kids and I made several things for Christmas. E made J a tic-tac-toe board from the army print and some blue for the buttons. Some of the buttons are vintage from Mildred. J had me make E a bag to hold the marbles he bought her. L and I made a mask for O out of some old polka-dot fabric and a butterfly-shaped mask for H out of an old FQ from PPQ. H and L had me make bookmarks for E out of some scraps.

Probably 2 yards total.

I also bought 8 yards of fabric for J's cape. Four yards of a beautiful, soft butter suede and four yards of just plain black broadcloth.

A new skirt

I finished Amy Butler's Barcelona Skirt last night. It's from some black and white fabric that I got in the mountains last year. It took 4 yards of fabric including some of the muslin from my MIL.

For me

I made a cute little purse for myself from McCall's 4794, view A. It was 1 1/8 yds of fabric out. I also cut up the layer cake and started making the patchwork for some stockings. Tedious.

Here is a picture of O modeling my purse.
