Quilting, sewing
My newest finished sashiko project got turned into an Easy Zipper Pouch with the free tutorial from @ospring_sewing . The size is great for my needs. I guess I'll make another one with different kind of interfacing.

I saw the #pattern for these #zipperbags at the page from @sewcanshe and gave them a try. The larger one of the #zipperpouches I would fuse with something stronger next time.
That was fun and a good usage of some #scrap. They are great #giftideas of #gift s as well.

Some #progress on my pink #economyblocks for Taryn @reproquiltlover #quiltalong called #scrappymeetsthriftchallenge.
These #quiltblocks are made from my #scraps and are now 2.5 inch unfinished size.
Guess I have another #workinprogress for a while now.

And it is done: Quilting, Binding and washing! Thanks to #wipwednesday hosted by @sewtopia for keeping me motivated to finish this #babyquilt .
It definitely was a skillbuilder for #freemotiondesigns . Minky as backing wasn't the best choice to quilt it but it's so cosy.

Nach meinem Testblock habe ich letztlich dieses #sashiko Muster gemacht. Es soll eine kleine Tasche werden.

After my test #block I decided to go with this #sashikopattern . It is supposed to get a small #bag .

Guess I am in!
I admired all the beautiful #economyblocks and signed up for Taryn @reproquiltlover #quiltalong - #scrappymeetsthriftchallenge. These #quiltblocks are my first try to see if my #scraps work with the 2.5 inch unfinished size.
Guess I have another #workinprogress for a while now.

I saw this adorable "cute tiny coin pouch" from @sewcanshe and needed to sew it. These #zipperpouches are sewn bit different than I knew it and I had to give it a try. #scrap #giftideas #gift #pouch #pouchsewing #useyourscraps #usewhatyouhave #bag

For this week's #wipwednesday hosted by @sewtopia I wanted to quilt this #babyquilt with the #walkingfoot. I wanted to use it to test a #walkingfootquiltingdesigns but the stretchy minky as a backing is really annoying. Especially when quilting diagonal. So I define it as finished. #lessonslearned

I saw @sewingtimes.nancy free Youtube video to sew those cute #zipperpouches and needed to try all three sizes. They are really cute! Thank you Nancy! That was fun and a good usage of some #scrap. They are great #giftideas as well.

I really hope that the #sewhopiawipwednesday helps me to bring this #babyquilt over the finish line. Started it somewhere last spring 🙈. I wanted to use it as a #skillbuilder for #freemotiondesigns but somehow I am stuck. #quiltinprogress #freemotionquiltingonadomestic #fmqquilting #fmq

Eine Art Testblock: ich wollte das #sashiko Muster probieren. Es gefällt mir schon ganz gur. Mal sehen, was aus dem Stück wird.

Kind of a test #block: I wanted to give this #sashikopattern a try. I do like it. Let's see to what I can turn it into.

My new shirt with an added #star (@modafabrics) #pocket was sewn during a zoom meeting from @rhein_mqg with #scraps from December's #mystery sewalong.

I am totally in love with this month's (March) lovely #quiltblock of the #nurserysampler2025 hosted by Fiona Carlson @mommyandmequiltco .
This is the block from Christine @moderncharmstitchery and it is called #rubberduckmini. I had to sew it immediately with #fabrics from my #stash

I decided to make two smaller #quilttops from my quiltblocks. This is the second one. To find a layout was quite a task. I finished it during #finishitqal2025 hosted by Tiffany @villageboundquilts
I work with Christmas fabrics.
Thank you Katharina @der_rabe_im_schlamm for organising the sewalong

My first finished sashiko project was long in my #wip stack. After seeing the free tutorial from @ospring_sewing for a square pouch I knew what to do.
Another finish for week 3 for Tiffany @villageboundquilts #finishitqal2025!

I don't know why it took my almost half a year to add another row to those two #dresses. I tested it last summer with the third one and liked it a lot.
However now it was a quick finish for week 4 of Tiffany@villageboundquilts #finishitqal2025. One #ufo
Less in my sewing space.

#visiblemending of #denim #trousers - inspiration by @exhaustedoctopus.bsky.social I clearly went with: just add more and the mending will get invisible.

I wanted to combine this bag pattern of @maria.norda with a panel of #seaglass (technique: Allie @exhaustedoctopus) storage of my Lightpad for months. I made the panel but didn't finish it till last week. So it is another finish for the #FinishItQAL (Tiffany @villageboundquilts).

Finally I finished various #cableholder holder from #scraps of quilted fabric. I made one quite a while ago and then all the things were lying around for weeks in a box in my sewing room. Now it is a finish in week 2 for the #FinishItQAL hosted by Tiffany @villageboundquilts

Three little #basket to wrapp #gift s were made for #finishitqal2025
The blue #fabric was over a year in my stash as it had fading marks. In December I had the idea, cutting and decorating done in January. My first finish for #FinishItQAL hosted by Tiffany @villageboundquilts in February
February 15, 2025 at 7:07 AM
Well the colors are not good in this picture but life 1.0 is happening and the weather won't get better so I take this one for now.
My first #wip for the #FinishItQAL hosted by Tiffany @villageboundquilts is now in the stage of an completed #quilttop 🎉.
