WIP 10/14

[cam]

What are you working on? Finish anything? Anything to show off?

I made the tags for the collar on LO's dog Halloween costume. I got a slight start on the TOT bag. I did some sewing on pillow #2 I am making for LO's bed. I started the preliminary design for pillow #3, just need to decide how I want one last little part then finalize dimensions.

I finished cutting out the nephew quilt. Onto sewing.

For any quilters out there, do you cut all your pieces before you start or do you do something else. My aunt doesn't do all her cutting at once so it made me wonder.

I finally started sewing on DS's halloween costume yesterday. I was hoping to have it mostly finished this week but we have family staying with us this weekend so it's on hold as I finish cleaning the house. He's going as a flying monkey from The Wizard of Oz and I think the monkey part is going to be easy to put together, I just have to figure out how I'm going to do the vest, hat, and wings.

saltypearl, when I'm quilting I tend to just cut out all the pieces at once. That's the worst part of quilt making for me so I like to just get it done and over with at once. Probably why I don't make too many quilts..

I'm a lurker on this board but I finally have something to contribute. I'm refinishing a dresser I got for free. I have just a before picture at the moment.

Sorry if it's huge. I'm using the tapatalk app. I'm painting it an antique white. I'm considering adding drawer pulls but I'm going to wait until it's finished to decide. So far I've gotten it sanded and a coat of primer on. I'm hoping to get out to it today and sand again so I can do the first coat of paint.

Eta: the top looks weird because I started to take it apart and then remembered I wanted a before photo.

I made DD a Halloween skirt, a Halloween pillowcase for each kid (glow in the dark pumpkins on part of each), and I'm using scraps from my Heather Ross inkjet printed fabric to make a quilted pillow case for a 16x16 throw pillow (I finished quilting the top today- just need to sew it together).

It's finally cool enough for me to make it back out to the garage, so I'll see what I can do with my pottery wheel!

I'm working on finishing DS minion costume. I crocheted the hat and need to finish the goggles and attach the G to the overalls.

I also made a wreath for my door!

I'm starting on banners and decor for DD 1st bday. I still have to string up DDs high chair banner.

saltypearl I have always done all my cutting at once. Mainly because I hate cutting.

I really love this wreath skategirl128. While at the hardware store the other day MH and I walked past the (very early setup) xmas decorations and I saw a straw 'empty' wreath and almost bought it to make one of those on them. What underground did you use for the wreath!? and any tips on how many inches of ribbon I should grab?

[skategirl128]

muscari The underneath is a green wire frame. I got it at the dollar store, although I've seen them at craft and hardware stores. I used about 3 spools of wide ribbon for this one. I made it all out if dollar store materials. Final cost $6!

skategirl128, I miss having stores like the Dollar Store around, but also places like Michaels, HobbyLobby, JoAnns... even Wal-Mart's craft department hah! The offer of craft supplies is rather limited here, and often quite pricy too. Am "pinning" your lovely wreath and am going to try make something like that this season!
