WIP 12/16

What have you been working on? Anything to show off?

I made a pattern for pajama pants for LO and finished making one pair of pants. I washed up some more fabric so I can make another pair today. I've been working on some travel games for LO as well.

I finished DD's Christmas dress (Peppermint Swirl), and a hair clip with a fabric flower to match. That has eaten up a lot of my time. It's not a difficult pattern, it's just very time intensive (14 gores that are long and curved and made up of 2 pieces each). I made her a skirt with the pattern last week to try it out- rainbow colors.

I finished a half triangle quilt, am now assembling a quilt top made up of wonky log cabin squares.

I wanted to make a few new ornaments for our tree but not sure I'll have the time!

I'm still embroidering numbers on the pockets for DDs Advent calendar. So it will be next year use item.

With my students I made 3 different ornaments and a nativity painting.

I need honest opinions. Is the bow tie too big for the stocking?
I wanted it to be special, so I used one of my husband's old polo shirts to make it.

cam, OMG! you go girl.. pants? I have only seen the tutorials on Pinterest. One day I will be brave enough and decide to make one.

cmeon, again, congrats on finishing the dress! Post a pic

olenka, that is awesome. I want to make a quilt but I only have a sewing machine. I don't feel like investing all that money to get a new machine just to make 1 quilt. However, kudos to you

MsNicole06, I love arts and crafts with kids. I do not have kids of my own, but it is always a blast with my nieces and nephews.

kserr22, I think for the size of the bow relative to the stocking, I would at least see what it looks like moved up to the top so it is more like the cuff part but without being a cuff of course. I hope that makes sense (I shouldn't post with a migraine ).

As for pajama pants, they are a great way to learn to make clothes if that is something you want to do because they are on the simpler side, plus the fact that they are not fitted and are not meant to worn in public gives you a little extra wiggle room if they aren't quite awesome. I started with skirts for my first couple of rounds making clothing, but I have since made even fitted shirts, all of which were easier than I would have thought before I got back into sewing (don't get me wrong, they aren't as easy as sewing a nice big rectangle for a pillowcase or something, but they aren't overwhelming).

I knew I should have stuck to my instinct, but oh well!
It is done, and I don't feel like ripping it off. lol!

Thanks for the input. I will definitely keep that in mind for when I decide to make some

It's still cute either way. If it is a pain to change, I wouldn't do it either.
