those are amazing! Can you share where you found the pattern?

I made some baby sweatpants the other day but struggled so much with the cuffs! Yours look amazing.

I made ravioli for dinner does that count as something made? Well Trader Joes made them, I heated them. Your newborn pants are so dang cute !!!

I'm working on a quilt which is the first one I've been paid to make! It's exciting but nerve wracking. Sorry if this is huge I'll edit in a sec

I just knit my first thing ever with needles. It's just a tiny rectangle, but I'm excited!

That looks beautiful! Are you trying to start a business? Can I ask how much you charge? For a twin or full sized?

[PirateCat]

mill23 that quilt is beautiful!

thechickencoop the shark fabric was on sale for $3/yard too. I've already spent too much money on fabric since getting a new sewing machine...

[PirateCat]

mill23 I like your table and chairs.

[wildflower810]

I need to break out my sewing machine. I'm starting to get ideas for projects.

Right now I'm in the middle of decorating DS's room. I have the painting done, I need to frame a few things and hang them. I'm excited with how it's turning out. Really my first time decorating a room!

Aw thank you! I just started a little Etsy shop but it still seems crazy that it could actually be anything.

This is a baby quilt size and I'm charging 165$. I haven't priced out a twin or full sized yet, though I should! If you want more info just PM me

That makes me so happy! I was worried the combo would be strange but I love it. The table is about 100 yrs old and I inherited it from my Dad, so I'm very sentimental about it.

I'm clearly not charging enough

I am so struggling with pricing! I followed this Etsy article I found but...I don't know. Quilts just take so much time, I feel like charging for your labour is the most difficult part to calculate. I'm charging like 10$/hr for my work now. If that.

I love this thread!! I love seeing pictures of what people are doing!!

I have just been being a huge AW in all the threads anyway this weekend so thanks for giving me someplace else to do it. Hee hee.

Today's project was the master closet. Look at our shoe shelves!!!

[nuggetrn]

mill23 the quilt is so cute!! I was bummed for a minute because your picture wouldn't show up for me for some reason.

[ourcrazynavylife]

I had plans for another project today but didn't get to it. These are the two latest.

Burlap throw pillow

Rice pillow heating pad

[nuggetrn]

ourcrazynavylife you remind me that I really really need to put a heating pad on my list of things to make!!

[thechickencoop]

mill23 ,HERE is the link for the pants; I am in no way affiliated with this blog! There's a ton of patterns on pinterest, I just liked this one the best. The cuffs took some trial and error. I couldn't find ribbed stretchy fabric at my Joann's so I ended up using these pre-made cuffs similar to these:


BUT, I randomly found them on clearance for 50 cents a pack! It was a complete freak-luck thing. I just cut em down to tiny size

[thechickencoop]

nuggetrn your closet is making me feel all warm and fuzzy.
