Collecting fuel for my stress hobbies
Finished this only 6 weeks later than the recipient's birthday, a new record for me. One day I'll finish a gift like this on time

Still missing a couple places in the Morristown area. I want to believe

My first entirely self made Halloween costume for my kid. The base layer is a McCall's cheerleader pattern, the hood was modified from an animal hood pattern, and the rest was self drafted, including the under skirt. There is also a pair of stretch velvet shorts underneath

I hadn't intended to finish this so quickly, but it's for comfortably dragging my stuff to swim meets. Two this weekend, one opening at 6:30 am. At least I'll have snacks

The main fabric is a piece of canvas I got directly from Rashida Coleman-Hale in a studio clean out bundle

Did I make this top a couple years ago for my aunt's milestone birthday, congratulate myself on my planning, and then forget which year that birthday would take place?

Yes, but at least it's basted now. My mom's birthday quilt used the same fabric line and this one includes its scraps

I guess some people do DIY it

Cutting these two projects killed it off I guess

Progress continues, though these still need some hemming and hand sewing and I haven't started the tail. After self drafting this petticoat, all I have to say is why do we even have fabric you can't press the ever living shit out of?

All done. I bought the fabric in 2021 when my very special black cat was dealing with aggressive cancer, so it always makes me think of her. It has been my fall project for a while. I started piecing in 2022, finished the top last year, and quilted it this year

This is an easy drive from where I live, and I'm sorely tempted to do something irresponsible on the grounds that I wouldn't even have to pay shipping. Maybe several things

Now it just needs binding

I forgot how big this quilt was, but I will get to sit under it before Halloween

The hood is finished other than adding some snaps, so I started the removable cuffs

Or maybe a copy of the book my childhood dentist had about Louis Pasteur in every household

I got a little more done on the costume

I was having the longest day, and then my little fall planting babies were waiting at my door when I came home. Two kinds of asters and wild geraniums

And I finished the hand sewn parts of the dress for my daughter's Halloween costume and moved on to working on the hood
