Making 2026: Week #8

Hello 'maker' Friends!

I've got a little bit of a new format I'm going to try this week that will hopefully help keep me focused on the things I want to get done ...

Let's give it a try ...

What I recycled and or repurposed:  This skirt was repurposed from a dress that had way too many ruffles in all the wrong places for my taste, so I turned it into a skirt.  I paired it with a black pullover sweater that I had and turned it into what I think is a really cute outfit.


Progress on a 'work in progress' or unfinished project.  (If I've laid a project aside for at least a month, it is being categorized as a work in progress or unfinished project.):  This project is way past the one month qualifier that makes it an unfinished project!!!  In fact this project is way past the one year mark and the only thing it needed to be finished was I need to stuff it ... that's all!  I did that today!

I love little mini cross-stitched pillows.  I have several I've done over the years and bring out according to the season.  This obviously is a Christmas one ... that is now finished!!  Hoot!  Hoot!  One down ... several more to go!

Quilting project:  I completed block #5 in my patriotic quilt!

A sewing channel/video I watched this week:  This week I watched this Youtube video by Dorothy's Daughter.  She and I think alike when it comes to our sewing stash!  Do you have a sewing channel you could recommend?

That's it for this week!  I'd love to hear what your working on and or 'making!'

 Until the next week!
