I have a friend that has done a bunch of them. She said to make sure to leave something heavy (books, heavy framed print with maybe more books?) atop it following completion to help the crystals adhere well.
I also ordered myself a diamond painting ruler online. Another friend said she could’ve used it because some of her lines weren’t straight. I bought myself a partial kit at the first of December, with Santa, and haven’t started on it yet. Of course then later saw them for 80% off.
Ooh, @wereradletshug do you have a picture of your fussy cut sampler? I’d love to see it (sorry if you posted it further down in this thread, I’m still at the very top reading through everything)!
Finished a dress. Not sure if I’m digging the cut and drape on me, but that is not the fault of the pattern. I knew what it would look like; I just forget that the cut doesn’t always look so good on me. Anyhow, I’ll still wear it just maybe not to work.
Apologies for another project dump of doll dresses. They’re quick and easy stashbusters and are a great holding pattern until I figure out what other project I want to tackle next.
I’m counting batches of three in the same size as a “project” so these are a mix of some I finished last month and a few that snuck in with the February thing-a-day challenge.
First up we have a set for my 27cm crew:
And finally a representative sample of the 5 dresses I made using some cute vintage fabric from my great-aunt’s stash that have all gone on to new homes. I am in love with how they turned out.
Haven’t really completed my own project. But I did help my mom with a project of hers. I helped finish this table runner top last night. And then I quilted it today. But never took a picture. It was just stitch in the ditch anyway so nothing amazing.
I love that table runner! It’s got that happy, scrappy style that makes it look like a well loved heirloom that’s been around for years and years. And really, how can you go wrong with a good stitch in the ditch?
How much fabric do you need for one of these dresses? I have seen you mention stash busting and scrap busting.

Have you tried a stitch in the ditch machine foot? I rarely do stitch in the ditch anymore because I miss the ditch a lot. I read an article that said it was better to actually go to one side of the ditch if this was the case, but I read other articles that this machine foot actually works. Has anyone tried it? It is only a few bucks on Amazon so I was going to try it.
I just use my walking foot. I just jump out for a few stitches too often.

Over the weekend I made three 12"x12" masterboards with the intention of trying out more of the Zetti style which is the paper and mixed media craftalong challenge. I think I did pretty well. Over the past 2 days I made NINETEEN atcs! It’s so easy to make cool collaged atcs once the backgrounds are pre-made!
