Boy oh boy, I'm running out of stuff to show you. This week again, I've been sewing for other people in private swaps not due until the end of March. Don't think for a minute that I will wait that long to ship them though.......hello!!! I'd either go nuts from anticipation or will lose the poor little things by that time (although I do try to pile them all together in one spot on my dining room table.) I'm not a very good secret keeper to be truthful! I just thought that if I do all of them now, I might be able to concentrate on the doll swap. I have so many ideas for that swap, that I am going crazy just trying to keep them all straight in my head. I did draw one this weekend, and I might have bitten off more than I can chew.......
Here's the beginning:
And then, the next day, I continued working on it:
It's going to be 20 inches square and I think I am going to applique the whole thing....(if I can afford all the Steam a Seam I'm going to need. LOL) It will be quite a project! I even found the cutest bus and little car buttons for it today. I really need a sailboat button, but couldn't find one of them anywhere. I might have to forget that idea, who knows? I even went out for solids today thinking that if I'd use patterned fabric it might look like a clown town. I'm hoping it turns out as cute as I imagine.
So, that's about it for me. I've been going out for lunch with friends and shopping so my sewing has been limited too. I hope to show you more next time.
Oh that looks so cute! Can't wait to see how it progresses. Lunch and shopping are important, fuels the tummy and the soul. Enjoy and sew when you can!

ReplyDeleteHi There! Did you find a sail boat button yet??? I wondered because we have a store in my area (about 20 miles from me) called "The Needlepoint Joint" that has a huge case of small drawers with just specialty buttons in it. I will be glad to call them and see if they have them and if they do, I'll even go get them for you and mail them off. Let me know. Hugs...
ReplyDeleteI love your blog and all your wonderful ideas. I come here for a pick me up. -I have a sail boat button that needs a little lake! Poor thing has been in the button can for years. Let me know! I will mail it to you :)
