Sewing Update

[forestofglory]

Well since we are shelter in place and I have been feeling very anxious I've been doing a lot of sewing. So I thought I'd share some of my projects with you all.

I finished the shirt I was working on for the kid! Since I wanted another project I let her go through my fabric stash and pick something for me to make into another shirt. I've now got that all cut out and have even started sewing that. I think it will be really cute!

I've also started a new quilt. I decided to make a rainbow baby quilt! However it turned out that I didn't have any yellow scraps. So I had to buy some fabric and do a porch exchange with my mom to get enough. But its all cut out now. Should be fast to put together.

When I was buying yellow fabric there was really cool boarder print that was on sale. So I bought up the last little bit of that and I'm thinking of making a another scrapy quilt around that. I got some possible fabrics together for that.

I'm finding sewing super soothing right now. It's really nice to make things with my hands.

I can't wait to see how these look! I'm glad you've got something physical and interesting to do.

Sew so soothing!

Yay for sewing! My goal for this week is make the two remaining art cards I promised so I can shift my craft tables over from Collage Mode to Sewing.

What are you planning to sew?

I'm jumping on the fabric face mask thing. My local hospital has put out a call for their staff that don't work directly with patients.

Good for you! I should look into making some masks too.

I've been trying to use some of this time to make a crochet blanket with my wife -- it's definitely soothing! A rainbow quilt sounds lovely.

[forestofglory]

Thank you, and good luck with your blanket!
