What's On My Cutting Table...

I've had a pretty productive week of sewing and it has been all over the board in terms of projects. First up is something for my Grandnephew. My sister and her husband are off to visit their grandson tomorrow and I wanted to send a little something for him. Not wanting to take the chance (oops, done that before!) of getting books he already had, I decided to do something completely handmade and settled on a storage bag. Who doesn't need something for their crayons, pencils, or any other small items that need to be stashed? The fabric I already had so it was just a question of designing an embroidery to stitch. Voila!

Next up was pajama pants for me. I'm only 5'2" and it is so frustrating to find pajama pants that don't need 5-10 inches taken off the bottom. I had a hard time finding a pattern. After buying one on line and making a muslin in two different sizes that didn't fit, I tried one last time with a Sewing Workshop pant pattern. I used the Ikina pant and cut a medium through the body but a large for the rise. I could easily have added even more to the rise for comfortable sleeping. But here they are.

My third project this week was bookmarks. I decided to skip doing a page this week for the Stitch Book but I still wanted to do some slow sewing and the result is below. Everyone needs a bookmark, right?

It has been warm this week in New Hampshire and we are finally starting to get rid of some of the mountains of snow we had in February. I will be happy to see Spring come this year. Til the next time...
