Finish Up Friday: 2015 Edition, Update #1 – I accomplished a few things! (Plus – THIS COLD!!)
Of course, I didn’t work on the dining room shades this week (did anyone really think that I would?) but I did sew a few other things. What I accomplished this week: I fixed my black tank top. The strap … Continue reading
Finish Up Friday: 2015 Edition – Look! Ellie’s Doll Has Hair!
In January/February 2014, I had a very productive two months as I held my “list of shame” up for public view, keeping you updated as to how I was doing with all my unfinished sewing projects. I had good intentions … Continue reading
Finish It Up Friday – Update #7 – The Living Room Blinds (sort of)
I have one sort-of, close enough finish to report today. I finished our living room Roman shades back in November 2012. Sadly, I made a pretty fatal design flaw, which resulted in some ugly sun fading. Plus the adhesive on … Continue reading
Finish It Up Friday – Update #6 – Mark’s Quilt! Hooray!
After a three-week break (because I had nothing to report), I’m happy to announce two finishes today! 1. I finally finished Mark’s birthday quilt, only 2 months late! I sewed the last of the binding down this morning. I’ll do … Continue reading
Finish It Up Friday – Update #5 – No More Cuffs!
Over two years ago, my friend Julie found me a great pair of jeans at a thrift store for just a few dollars. Only problem? They were longs and I am not that tall (5’4″ to be exact). So, for … Continue reading
Finish It Up Friday – Update #4 – Finally, The Dress Has Six Buttons!
I came disastrously close to not having anything to share this week. I used up my weekend sewing time on two new projects (these baby blankets) and then I’ve had a sad, sick boy on my hands this week. Thankfully, … Continue reading
Finish It Up Friday – Update #3 – Snoozer Lives Again!
I just finished one thing this week – Nik’s T-shirt quilt! I need a helper around to take pictures of the whole thing so I’ll post them in a separate post. But here’s proof of the finished applique! “Snoozer” and … Continue reading
Finish It Up Friday – Update #2
I did all the fast, easy projects last week so I don’t have many to cross off the list this week. But I am making progress on finishing up Nik’s quilt. I also fixed the office shades (a couple of … Continue reading
Finish It Up Friday – Update #1
It’s definitely a good thing that I decided to publicize my intention to finish my WIP’s! 🙂 This week, I got a bit more work done on Mark’s quilt (although I still need two more blue prints so I’m at … Continue reading
Finish It Up Friday – Joining In
I must confess to feeling a bit superior over the last couple years as I came across posts in the sewing blog world about all the WIPs (works in progress) that people had. “I don’t sew that way,” I liked … Continue reading
