The last couple of days I spent cutting and sewing up 112 -3 inch squares to make the front and back of this scrappy pillow cover with my fabric from my stash. I made the front with 49 squares (7 rows of 7 squares) and after sewing them together I quilted it to a piece of white fabric to stabilize it. I used the rest of the squares for the envelope back, one piece had 5 rows and the other piece had 4 rows. It was fun to make. I want to make more.
The windows are finished and I've been nesting my craft room. I set up my corner shelf unit for my African violet, which is loving the north light from the window and I set my irons on the shelves. The entire bottom shelf is empty now. I want to put something special on it.
Things have been a little slow crafting wise the past month and a half. My crafting room is still in chaos waiting for the fix to the window sill that is supposed to happen tomorrow. Its hard to get to some of my crafting supplies right now. I have lots of small pillow covers to make when I can get back to my stash.
Last week I bought five 5 inch wool felt squares from an Etsy seller to make a small heart garland to hang over my bedroom door. I got the squares in the mail yesterday and this garland took me an hour to make and hang. So fun and easy.
I found this completely adorable polar bear fabric that I had to have to cover a pillow on my bed. The pink background is perfect for my room. This will be my last sewing project until after the 18th. I have to prepare for window replacement next week. So much stuff to move out of the way. I'll be crocheting flowers with my embroidery floss and knitting another scarf while my machine is moved. Now I have to change my sewing machine needle, clean my machine and change out my rotary cutter blade so it will be ready for use again next week.
I bought a yard of rayon challis of two prints to make scarves. I can make two scarves from 1 yard. I made one for me and one for dear daughter. The fabric was only $8.00 a yard from fashion fabric website.
