Christmas Through the Year - February

I like working in multiples.  Especially if I'm making the same thing over and over.  I decided to make these 2 handed pot-holders.  Super quick!  I made 5 so far.  I actually have some of that yellow chicken fabric in my stash so I made one out of that.  My thought is to make coordinating aprons for the pot-holders and give them out to my aunts and a few others in my family (my Mom, my Babci...).  I think that will make for very nice Christmas gifts.




But I will confess.  They aren't 100% done. I have to close the turning holes but I just haven't had the time.  But I am calling these done for now.  :)

March I am taking a pass on the Christmas gifts.  I've decided to make Easter "baskets" for the little girls in my family and I need to get those done.  My time in March is limited.  My weekends are booked.  EVERY weekend and the last week in March, I need to travel to San Fran again for work.  However, I have started my March gifts but I was waiting for zippers.  Now that they have shown up, I'm ahead of the game for April sewing.  Swoon too has been ignored.  Sigh.  Not enough time!

Enjoy your day!

  7. These are great, and fabulous colours. I love your idea of making matching aprons. I tend to go with 'done' as a description when it looks like something other than a pile of fabric bits, so little holes, no problem. Definitely done!
