Today it’s a few rows of yarn…
Tomorrow? It’s a surprise! 💜

Working on a long running UFO today. I’ve let it go for years now first because we ended up with a bed too big for it, but mostly because I don’t enjoy diagonal assemblies at all. The all over hunching makes me old before my time (ha) but her young back can take it. Plus it’s nice to have my big baby being creative with me once in a while 🥰

Calliope picked through my fabric stash bins and selected this for her 5th birthday dress. 💜🦄 Time to thread up the serger!

Day 1 - - Elizabeth is all done! Starched, ironed, and 16 diamonds cut. If you have a Lazy Susan and a small cutting mat, you have a nice little hack to maneuvering around your cuts. Also, loop some tape on your template because that sucker is slippery. I chose to mark my pencil dots on the front side only because I didn’t want my template to move AT ALL and potentially skew my line ups when I go to sew. If I have to flip the fabric and then draw my dots, there’s room for user error.

Stay healthy out there. And if you’re sew inclined, try making some masks with this easy to follow tutorial!

Kay Pruitt's love of posting DYI videos exceeds her actual skill in this comedic tutorial gone wrong.

Every time my husband holds a quilt for me to get a picture little miss Calliope is excited to lend a hand in making it truly great shot. This is her closet after all. We’re all just hanging out in it.

Zippered ‘project pouches’. They’re so much fun to quilt myself! I have quilt pieces for a special project stashed in my personal pouch currently.

It’s never too early to get your little ones interested in sewing. Recently my three year old made this, 65% on her own. 🥰💜🧵
