I did some cutting on the weekend, so I guess I have decided on one thing! I am umming and ahhing otherwise. I work best under pressure!

Same, lol. I’ve been plodding along on something with no real direction, hoping it will solidify with the looming swap deadline pressure. It usually does…

Yeah, I’m feeling a bit in the staring at things cross-eyed phase also, but I’m ready to start moving a bunch of stuff into the attic, so that should help.

I made some good progress this weekend! I just have one little thing extra to make.

I finished something tonight…but I’m not sure what it is? Lol. It just kind of turned into something. I’ll prob send because @Magpie is cool with strangeness but now I need another idea since this one took a u turn somewhere…

I have everything plotted and planned and will do the sewing starting tomorrow. Let’s just say I might need to make some more batik scraps…

Dang it, I have had a very sad fail. Usually I can turn those around but not this time. I just don’t like it & I’d never send it. Poop.
Some other things are turning out though. Three days of ironing bits of fabric is paying off nicely!

Oh no! What a bummer. I had a fail too. It was something I’d made before and I tried to make it extra fancy and failed. But I guess that was a learning lesson.

I tried something I saw online that looked cute but just didn’t work out so well. Bias cut stuff, I should have known to stabilize it first, DUH! Maybe it’s salvagable, I hate to waste anything. Not for this swap though. That’s ok, I dreamt solutions to the other things I’m working on & am about to get into the studio now.

I have my box all packaged up and ready to send to @photojenn. I’m going to drop it off at the post office tomorrow on my way into work. Well, I’ll probably be running late like normal and it’ll be after work.

I have some things done, but I’m still tinkering. I realized I forgot the “sew” part for one of my items, lol. Whoops. It still came out cool!

Dang it, another failure. It was WAY too busy. I hate picking out stitches.

I am going to be doing some unpicking too…

I feel you there. My seam ripper was used a LOT for this package.

I fixed it by remaking it into 2 things, yay! But one of them would be so difficult to package, I’m not sure I’ll be able to send it. Partial success is better than total failure though so tonight’s a win.
