That yarn is super pretty! I wish I was better at knitting and crochet so I could use pretty yarns like that.
I was working on some masks this weekend. I know a few people who are considered essential that I decided to make a few masks for. And a friend contacted me about making them 20 so I was busy. I did not enjoy making them and don’t plan on making many more. But anyone sewing them up like crazy is stronger than me.
Anyways here are two of them I forgot to get a picture of the big group.
@poetrylover828 Those are beautiful! The batiks are so bright and cheerful. I also am finding masks dull as dishwater (those ties take forever!) but it feels kind of frivolous to be sewing anything else.
I hate that it feels like sewing for yourself is bad. Maybe I should be sewing more masks and donating them but I don’t want to sew them. I still have a few more to finish up and it’s not much but I don’t have motivation because it’s bleh. The people who are still going strong making them are great. But once I’m done with the few masks I need to finish I’m going to be done. And I am letting myself be okay with that.
Is anybody interested in a thread for pattern review for mask making? I’ve checked out dozens of tutorials and most of them have a mix of good and bad design aspects. I’ve made a few styles but honestly, I’m going to mash the best ideas together and come up with something that is functional, takes an optional filter, and is FAST and easy to put together.
You guys, this came across my feed…it is a fast way to make the ties for the mask ties…if you want to put bias all around, it is faster just to unpick about 7 inches than it is to iron and such…this works!
I love the two fabric ones!!!
And I’m a big fan of the soccer ones - there’s so much going on with that fabric you barely notice the seam down the middle
And the doll clothes, they keep on coming…
Some Day I’ll get around to taking pictures of the other stuff I’ve made recently, but it was not this day.
I’ve been busy and can finally share a few of the things I’ve made lately!

I also just realised that I hadn’t posted my masks here.

Lots of fun project happening. I love the embroideries and the doll clothes! I’m currently working on a quilt for me that I’m very excited about.
I got my me project finished! I loved these goofy alien fabrics and then I came across this awesome world map panel and I thought the colors might go. And they did!! So now I have an alien invasion quilt! I used the Mojave pattern from Villa Rosa and added a little more to it so it was a good size for me. Now I need to pick a backing and get it quilted!
When I get better photos I will make a post just for it.
This is such a fun quilt, so much to see and I love how colourful it is!
Thank you! I love how it turned out.
So many wonderful things about that quilt…but mostly fun things! I love the world and the aliens together!
Thank you!
It’s so amazing!!! I really like the border fabric, too!
I’ve gotten a lot done, but not posted. Just not motivated. But having the list here at least serves as a reminder of what I want to get done.
