Having a crafty/sewing day - what projects are you working on?

[Katymac]

I have a roman blind to remake
2 dresses to alter

And I need to work out a price & a name for the thing to cover a drink in the summer to keep the flies/wasps off

Beatles!!

i just 'got' an overlocker!!

Sewing is my "Putting off doing something more urgent but boring" activity and at the moment I have pinned together a too-short sweatshirt and a too-tight-around-the-upper-arms chiffon blouse to make a layered effect single top with the chiffon peeping out of the bottom, at the neck and at the sleeves. Nothing lost if it goes wrong as I wasn't wearing either of them.

This summer I'll have lots of curtains to sew () , some old kitchen seat cushions to cover and a huge quilted bedspread to cut into two singles. We're equipping a 5-bed student let on a minimum budget. Can't wait to get rid of some of my stash.

I am justifying making a second dress for myself on the basis that we are going to a vintage tea dance tomorrow & I need 'samples' to show people?

Sounds like a fun summer!

Will it be finished by the tea dance this afternoon? Not sure I have to do errands for my mum this morning

Katymac that dress is stunning. And a gorgeous colour!

OMG I have an awful habit at starting sewing / craft projects and not getting them finished. I really need to write this list . It includes x5 appliqued baby vests for friends' babies - although with good intentions, I had to go and buy 6-9 month vests the other week to restart the project as the babies will to too big for the original dinky ones I bought!

Oh and I have a half finished pair of PJ's from 2013.

Thank you I finished it (although it's a bit 80's) & I'm wearing; driving through torrential rain to an open air tea dance

If it makes you feel better I bought the material about 8 yrs ago! Procrastinating....

Lovely items in this thread!

I have finished my suit complete with dress, for tomorrow, not the 14th!!

I have nearly made the £££ fabric dress and have started another dress!

I subscribed to the Collette magazine tonight, $6 a month, did it as a 6 month trial. Two free Collette pattern downloads a month, I quite like Collette patterns, seems like a bargain and I wanted the this month's shorts pattern.

I've finished the two-in-one sweatshirt and for my standards it's come out pretty well. Plus I made a doughnut cushion with a piece of my stash and the innards of another abandoned cushion.
Feeling very thrifty!
