sorry for not posting

So I've been making things, just not posting.
After making the drive across the country, and many breakfasts, the tax spreadsheet for the accountant and various other things, I figured I'd make a post.

When I was sewing yesterday I realized that a big part of making things for me now was showing it off, too. Whether or not anyone saw it. So, here's the things that I've made in the past few weeks.

I got here without a headband.
Big mistake, that was the first thing I needed

First attempt at men's wear. Pants from a pattern.
After many fittings, they don't need a belt!

Little cotton knitted tank top

Hemp crocheted bag.
It fits a kitten!

Hoodie top! With pocket and stripes!

Matchy skirt

I love my guitar.
It's an old guitar that I bought online...without a case.

Since I don't plan on flying with it, all I really need is gig bag, and since it's bigger and differently shaped than most acoustics these days, it just seemed easier to make one.

Small pick pocket up top, a pocket for strings

and the big pocket for music etc.

I had to have something cute on the back, besides the strap

and, yes, all the petals are pockets

Yesterday I bought ski jackets,
today I made a swimsuit.

Go figure

Most of the day I spent running around to thrift stores.
I found some cool yarn, which I tried out with this little wristband/bracelet thing

Oops, forgot to post this yesterday.

It was time for another stripedy shirt.

Hey, it's my 200th post!
A little anti-climatic when you see the thing,
but, I busted out some drywall today, and didn't feel like doing much,
just a little reversible drawstring bag

The past few days I've had a '50's inspired dress trying to form in my head.

Today it busted free.

Some handiwork

Handmade fabric flower

all hand stitched

that's the most hand stitching I've done in years probably
