Sewing update

| No Comments


When we got back from the Maker Faire, it was overcast and a little chilly so I skipped more gardening in favor of finishing the second green curtain panel. I also started - and finished - the second red panel! That means all 8 curtain panels are done!!! Photos will be posted in a few days.

Now that the curtains were done, I needed fabric for other projects. So, I stopped at Jo-Ann Fabrics yesterday after work and wandered around the store for 2 hours looking at and touching nearly every bit of cotton and flannel bunches (what are they called???) bolts of fabric. I found a lovely tropical print in deep purples, blues, greens, and magenta/reds to use for the top of the cutting board cover and a solid rich purple to use for the bottom (flat quilt batting will go in between). I also picked up a Simplicity sewing pattern for pajama bottoms and a soft flannel fabric of kitties!
