I have being doing a lot sewing projects recently so here are some more pictures:

First I finally sewed these quilt squares that had been sitting around together. I started this project years ago and just work on it now and then, so its nice to see it all together like this

Then I made myself a jacket. I flat felled the seams and everything. I think it came out really nice and I've worn it a bunch. It's nice enough that it feels fancy but comfy enough that I can wear it around the house.

And I made another robe for my doll and attempted to make a tang style hat -- its not quite right still but it was fun to try

And finally I finished up this baby quilt. I was mostly done -- a friend did the quilting for me and it was sitting around waiting for me to have time. However a friend with a new baby is in town and I'm making plans to meet up with her so I wanted to finish it for her. Luckily I had leftover binding form other projects so this was quick to finish up!

The Tang-style hat is very cute! And I really like the robe, too, and the little waist ornament. (The shoes are a funny contrast XD ). And the jacket is awesome -- I don't normally think "I wish I could sew," but I would love to be able to make my own jackets like that! The low pockets look very convenient.

Thank you!

Actually the jacket pockets are a bit small, but they are in a good place. But if I make another one I'm going to modify the pattern so the pockets are bigger

I hear that it's much more affordable to pay people to make custom clothing for you in Hong Kong than in the States -- so maybe you can get a jacket made for you?

Wow! The quilts and doll jacket and butterfly jacket are all lovely and I'm impressed with your skills. How great that you made something beautiful and comfortable that you can wear all the time.
