The last month or so has been project “Reduce the Stash.” My sister visited Japan a while ago, and brought me some fabric. I asked for the little dolls, and she brought back a lot more. I finally decided to use some of it for project bags. She also found some cute cardinal fabric for the next box my way. The bottom three are mine that already have projects in them. The top two are a thank you for my sister. I found some cute paper beads and tassels for the zipper pulls. If there are any family members that cross stitch and need a project bag, we can talk.
I also sewed a stack of pillow cases. My sister went through her stash and made a contribution. She mailed me a box of fabric, and I went through my stash and mixed and matched what I could add to make as many cases as possible. I returned the same box back full of pillow cases. Pretty sweet deal huh? Nine pairs made and two singles. I only kept the set on the bottom with the blue tulips and polka dots.
While the sewing mood was on me, we decided I should make about ten hot pads to match some hand towels in my sister’s shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/RafterRoadTreasures. Stop in and see what’s available.
