It’s so easy to just keep saving a piece for the right project.

I have not really felt all that inspired to make things lately…I am pretty sure that some of it is just feeling lethargic from allergies to pollen and other spring nasties!
I did manage to get distracted while doing a bit of supplies clean up…these are made with embroidery thread that has to be over 10 years old from some forgotten or abandoned project…
Easy to do while streaming Star Trek (again!)…

Your brooch is beautiful 
Thank you.
Another month, another project dump. But I’m still catching up with stuff I made in February, so this may take a while…
- A batch of dresses for a 6 inch doll. (Featuring the pleated skirt from project 11) Fun fact - three of these dresses are from the first fabrics I’d bought for doll sewing in over a year.
14-16 So Many Doll Dresses. The smallest doll is 11cm, the largest is 30.
- Three dresses using this fabric in various sizes

So many tiny prints…and I adore the pleated skirt but that little black and red check dress made me squeal…just toooooooooo cute!
Tis the season to find great buys on woolens. I bought this zip cardigan, used, online specifically to decorate. My ancient zip cardigan bit the dust 2 years ago and I have felt lost without it.
I chose an embellishment that required many tiny stitches in case it would curl up when wet, but it was worth it. I love the little flowers and even tho I have a bit more braid, I am choosing NOT to just ‘use it up’ by adding it to the pockets. Anyone out there think that was a good decision, to leave as it is?

Lovely way to make the cardigan yours!
I would leave the trim off the pockets…I like the look of the zipper and the trim both being vertical…I think having the horizontal pockets decorated would be a bit distracting. Nice find!

Great find! It turned out really pretty… sometimes less is more. I like it as it is!

I agree, I don’t think it needs anything on the pockets - it would make the trim less of a special feature

I really miss my friend Andrea…and her wonderful Italian meals…she sure spoiled us with her lavish dinners and Christmas Party…maybe this year we will be able to enjoy a dinner or two with her and her family! I have been making her aprons since we were young married women…it has been a few years since I made her one. I had this fabric in my stash and thought it would be perfect for an apron. All of the aprons I have made her have been in the theme of some of the dishes she makes.
This is project makes my total so far 63 projects…I think I am going to have a banner year this year!
lol I didn’t realize it until I posted the picture, but there are actually two pockets in front…guess I did a good job matching fabrics!

So fun to see what you all have been up to! This is such a comforting and inspiring craftalong and I’m just so grateful that it keeps coming every year and so lucky to get to participate.
I’ve just added my 42nd project to my list and am started cutting my 43rd this afternoon! I’m not yet caught up creating topics, but should be in a few days. I LOVE THIS PLACE!

I made a custom dog collar for the Shop the Swap with some cute grizzly bear fabric.
I also whipped up a couple pillow covers for our camper.

So nothing gets me out of a creative slump like a lettuce craft swap and the deadline involved!
I made a box, a miniature bedside lamp and cross stitched a little butterfly and put it in this miniature frame for the fill a box with whimsies swap. I’m wondering if these count as one project or 3?
