I've been LJ-delinquent for a few months. I've since quit the wage job as my babysitter was making more money than I earned, and finished up a bunch of knitting UFOs. (They've all gone to their respective homes - most of them were Christmas gifts from 2006, 2005, and 2004... and the latest project strung on my needles is for ME.)
Simplicity 2935: it's one of the few things I photographed before sending on its way to its new home. A lot of the other things I've been sewing up are really pedestrian. We're talking cheesecloth drawstring bags for veggie shopping, electric heating pad cases, pillow slips... I wasn't granted permission to upload pictures of the two commissioned dresses; fair enough, they weren't a big challenge for me, but they weren't cheesecloth bags, either. *sigh*
I've had most of this fabric in my stash for YEARS - it's GONE! GONE! GONE! YAH! It was a simple commission, and more fun to do than a bunch of fitted diapers. Plus, I used UP fabric scraps. YES. SCRAPS. I now have room in my chest of drawers for some of the newer fabric taking up space on my sewing table.
The Back. It meets most Cat Guidelines: it's soft, it's flannelette, and it's on the floor.
The white fabric was donated to my stash recently, completing the amounts required to make this quilty floor blankie. I rather regret using such large pieces of white for the bottom of the wings, but when using up the stash, one must piece according to one's remnants. And that was part of the challenge of this butterfly quilt. :-)
Oh, and that sewing fairy sitting on my shoulder? She got me a new Janome Memorycraft 200E dedicated embroidery machine on sale half-price, so I'm gonna be playing with that for the rest of the summer. :-D
I posted this to a bunch of communities.
