I got her stocking done!! WOOHOO!! And I LOVE IT!! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!! I did a simple stocking but it is adorable. I modified the pattern a bit. The way it is written will give exposed raw edges on the inside and I think I've collected enough knowledge in my bag and tote making that I could handle changing things up. So instead of quilting the lining pieces with the top and batting, I made two separate parts and attached them as I would a bag lining. And I embroidered Amelia's name. Did I tell you that I love it??

I made some Dr. Seuss pillowcases that will go under the tree for her to open.
And some Christmas candy/winter ones for her bed for now.
Lastly, I made a treat bag using the tutorial that Kim kindly shared with us back in October. I plan on making a second one and using them for Amelia's teacher's Christmas gifts.
That is what I got done during my Friday DAY sew in. And I'm really happy! Looking forward to next week's sew-in. I have plans to work on my BOM blocks.
Enjoy your day!

Oh...the stocking. L-O-V-E it. It is just darling. You know, you might want to put it away before company arrives because they are all going to want one. And I love the Dr. Seuss pillowcases, cute. Perfect for her age, too. That treat bag is a keeper...I am going to have to look that up. Good job.
ReplyDeleteLucky you, to get a whole DAY to quilt! You got so much done!
ReplyDeleteI love the stocking. Amelia will be thrilled. The pillowcases are wonderful too (one of my favourite projects to make). I'm going to check out the treat bag. Yours is so sweet.
Great work, Jen (although it's not really work, is it, when we have so much fun sewing). Have a happy Saturday!
