WIP Wednesday

This was a very productive week! Thanks to our first snowfall of the season, we had a stay at home snow day on Sat. With Daddy and Grandma here to watch Mikaela I got a ton of sewing done. I feel like it was a dream to get so much done. Wednesday night I taught a Grab N Go Diaper Clutch class Wed. night. I had a very full class and almost everyone got done with the bag. I had mine in steps to show, so I came home and finished it that night. It's a gift for our friends new baby.

I also finished the changing mat that goes with it.

Thurs. night I started cutting out t-shirts for a king size commission quilt I'm doing. It needs to be done before Christmas, so I needed to get a lot accomplished on it.

Friday night I packed for a sewing night with friends on Sat. night. I cut out a Snapshots quilt from the Happy Hour book and a new schlep bag.  We ended up cancelling our sewing night because of the snow.
Sat. it snowed 7" or so and we stayed home. I finished all the cutting and ironing of 51 t-shirts and prepped them to go in the t-shirt quilt.

Here's the fabric I bought to go with them.

The pillow is the inspiration and I think the red dots in it will go nicely since there are several red t-shirts.

I've also been working on an English paper pieced covering for a Starbucks cup using the leftover Chez Moi fabric, but I think I'll end up doing something different with the rest of the little squares. I've lost interest after doing about 3 flowers, so I'll finish the project I'm working on and then make these into something else.

Sat. night I felt like sewing after spending the entire day working on the t-shirts, so I sewed up this Schlep Bag. I was inspired by Heather's bag that she made in class. I made mine a bit different, but with the same fat quarters. It's super big and so strong.

The inside is a variety of different fat quarters from the same line of fabric.


I loved the schlep bag I made so much, that I decided I needed one for work to match my key fob and lanyard that Jen made for me. I cut it out and interfaced it tonight. I got the first 4 arms made tonight.

This is the inside. I still have enough Winding Ways fabric to make something else. I love this fabric and have stretched it out and made so many things with it.

This is my new cell phone case. Jen designed it for me and I just love it. Some day I'll actually make the quilt or something similar, but for now I just love looking at it. I had it made at Zazzle.com.
