I found a yard of Tula Pink's Tabby Road fabric and I bought it from an etsy shop. I fell in love with the pretty colors and the psychedelic kitty cat. I planned to make zipper pouches and a pillow cover with it.
I made four zipper pouches with the fabric, two had gray smokey vinyl bodies. I had the vinyl in my stash and used it.
My pillow cover is here.
I made some quilted Zipper pouches, a couple of short scarves, and a cross stitch decoration. I found the cross stitch pattern in a magazine and I added the holly leaves and berries at the bottom.
While I was looking through my yarn stash for gift project yarn I found this giant ball of Robin's egg blue yarn that I bought years ago for some project or other but never made. I didn't even print a pattern for the project I bought this yarn for, so I'm going to knit this up into ear warmers and scarves. I'm going to knit until I use all this yarn up.
The other project I made was this Christmas tree wallhanging. I drew this tree years ago and made a large wallhanging with it using a different green fabric for each tree. I crowded 13 trees on that piece. I love that wallhanging. The older wallhanging was done in landscape orientation. I wanted a smaller one in portrait orientation. I bought $8 worth of fabric from Walmart. That was all I needed to make this.
I only give Christmas gifts to dear daughter and they are usually very small and inexpensive. I give her big gifts on her birthday.
This year I'm making her all homemade gifts. I've been sewing, cross stitching, and knitting for the past two weeks. Using lots of supplies from my stash. In fact, the only items I was a new bottle of glue to finish a project and an inexpensive accessory to go with the gifts.
Love that I'm using up fabric, zippers, ribbon, embroidery floss, cross stitch fabric, and yarn that I had just sitting around. I almost wish I had more time because I have a couple of other ideas of things to make with supplies from stash.
I bought some pretty red yarn with metallic thread running through it to crochet a winter hat for myself. I needed a project to work on in case I had to report for jury duty last week. I needed a project that didn't include sharp knotting needles or scissors. I didn't think I could get any scissors or knitting needles into the courthouse. My bamboo crochet hook would be a better choice. I didn't have to report for jury duty but I did finish my hat last week.
I had an dark blue earwarmer on the needles since January so I finished that and made another with the red yarn with metallic thread running through it.
My daughter gave me some beautiful fabrics for Christmas last year. I made a pillow cover and a patchwork stocking with them. I love the touch of blue with traditional green, red, and white.
