Whew . . . it's just sew late

Last week I spent quite a few late nights finishing some of my sewing projects. I have a few more on the list to hopefully finish this week. I really think Ron is beginning to wonder what has happened to me. But, I've got to finish these projects while I still am feeling crazy about sewing. I made my first "from scratch" skirt. Jill finds it very fun to twirl in. I definitely will be making another one of these, hopefully with cuter fabric next time. I tried to capture a picture with her in the skirt, but she just kept sitting down. Oh, well.
Maggie and I ran across some minky and chenille scraps and I had seen a tutorial on monogramming by machine. I wanted to give it a whirl, so a pillow was made. When it was done, I told her we would have to go and find an insert or some stuffing the next day. I should have known better. I walked by Sam's room to find Maggie tearing apart one of his small pillows and stuffing the insert into hers. She is resourceful.
The art case is a surprise for Maggie for our trip to UT. The tutorial for this was a little tricky (Ron had to come to my rescue.) I couldn't figure out the inside and the outside of the fabric and my brain had to work overtime. Anyway, I am just hoping the brain power pays off and the art case provides hours of entertainment in the car.
