WIP 7/1

[cam]

What are you working on? What have you finished? Made any fun or exciting purchases recently?

I've actually done a fair amount of stuff this past week. I finished making my first article of clothing - a skirt for myself - and I am very happy with how it turned out. I finished making two storage bins that I had only barely had a start at from a few weeks ago (probably longer than that really). I finished a pair of custom towels for someone. I forgot to set out some vinyl to flatten out, so it is full of the wrinkles from having been folded and rolled. I went to use it this morning, only to realize I hadn't planned ahead. I was able to get a little cut out from the end, but now I am on hold. It appears it is going to take quite a while to flatten. I was hoping to make a few toy baggies today with it. I might look for inspiration for a shirt I want to make if I can't get any more pieces cut from the vinyl today. I found a piece of remnant fabric for a good price that will make a cute tank top. I kind of know how I want it to look but not fully decided. I also just ordered some more of those wonder clips several of you recommended, as well as some of the wonder tape which was also recommended (I have been using some clips ever since they were recommended to me, but I will be trying out the tape for the first time as soon as it arrives - looks like it will be a huge help for some upholstery work I am ready to start).

I always forget that it is Wednesday...

I'm still trucking along on prayer shawl 2.0. I'm almost done with the 2nd pounds so I need to roll the 3rd pound. I just haven't had much time to craft. I have been busy enjoying outside (biking) and started studying for a professional exam. I'm taking this weekend off of studying and so looking forward to the free time.

I made these for a friend out of her wedding dress. She donated the rest to a charity that uses dresses to make burial outfits for infant. She had a friend receive 1 and wanted to help others.


I've been lazy on my own crafting desires. Having DD home with me for summer makes getting things done hard.

I have been converting a spare bedroom into my craft room. I will post pics when I am done! So far I have moved the bed out and sorted through all of my fabric and put it onto bolts that I cut from cardboard boxes. I am in the process of painting an old cabinet base that we had in our garage for my cutting table. After that is done I will put up a peg board for all of my tools. I can't wait until it is finished.
