tincupchalice I also love that you know it’s a hyak! I love a fellow PABer. Are you in her fb groups? I just ordered a ton from this preorder. I took some pre orders from friends and I’m doing grand slams. I’m so excited! I totally am! I got the camping panels and the blue stripe coordinate this round even though I really need to stop buying fabric! Pretty much my whole facebook feed is various pattern and fabric groups. I got the airplanes for my boys. For others I got the mermaid, taco, and the navy camping panels and coordinates. I can’t wait to see them all together! |

H and my boys are all obsessed with HeiHei. And I love the stingray fabric they have. Off to check out rockerbye now!  That's where my vikings came from for the boys' valentine's day shirts. |

tincupchalice, ugh. I looked. I want the bugs, monsters, dinosaurs, planets, and the wilderness in red or maybe green. Bye bye moneys.

Got in the parts I needed last night and got my Vintage Singer running! It needs more cleaning still, but I'm really excited that the motor runs and it seems to be in good working order. My weekend project will be finishing the strap for the purse I am making and getting my vintage machine cleaned and oiled and doing some test sewing.

Sooo I just saw someone post a partial project. And now I’ve added it to my list! I’ve been wanting to do this pattern but didn’t know what fabric combo I wanted to use. I just need to see if I can get MIL’s cricut to make the Spider-Man thing for on the chest!  |

I finally finished my hyak!! I loathe the seam ripper but I’m glad I redid the hood. It was just all sorts of wrong! 🤣 The pattern is from peekaboo pattern shop. I made. My waist band a little longer and skipped the button/loop on the hood. I do feel it’s a bit tight across my chest where the cording is and the arms are a bit short when I reach out. But I have long arms and wide shoulders so that’s probably part of it. I’ll tweak my next one to account for it.  |

After much dithering, I fused my flowers, so now I just need to figure out the vase (basket?) for the bottom, then stitch them all down. That's going to be a home job, so my new project for lunch breaks will be cutting out for a Dinosaur quilt for DS.  |

My boys are just starting into liking dinos. |

Pistol , I'm pretty excited about the dino quilt - I bought a panel (link to ebay example) that has cute dinosaurs on it, and my idea is to surround it with 2 rounds of buzzsaw blocks ( youtube tutorial) the first round will be green on green, the second will be green on blue, so it kinda looks like tree leaves with sky beyond, if that makes sense. ETA - Think I'll just edit this last post, here are some of the fabrics I'm using for the dino quilt:

Here's my 1930s dress, heading out for afternoon tea. I made the fascinator and clutch too.  |

Dramaphile, thanks! That was my favorite thing to make and now I am curious about making hats. My tea group is pretty fun... it's been neat to meet other folks who sew, since it's kind of a solitary hobby for me.

I finally wove in the ends and sewed on the buttons for a gift for a friend. Now I just have to block it, but my mats disappeared so I have to get more.

I need to make more but it's not going on my to-do list for a few more months. |
