Mushrooms and foxes

 I made two of these - one for my sister and one for me. I had trouble getting the first one to match up with the backing and ended up with having to do a weird fold thing. The second one I basted, but it still came out a little uneven. The stretchiness of flannel I guess. Also just using my tiny card table to put them together.

Purple tulip skirt and matching bag

I made this skirt out of remnants - I don't really remember what I originally got this fabric for, maybe I used it in a quilt - I matched it with purple Kona cotton and made a waistband out of salmon cotton broadcloth. I spent a lot of time fine-tuning the waistband and did a lot of basting and removing stitches afterwards. The even smaller remnants I used to make a little cross-body bag, since I didn't want to put a pocket in the skirt.

Flannel peaches and trees




Just have to sew the binding, but it's basically done.

Borders added and backing chosen - just have to sew it together!


I did a pattern of triangles, sewed in strips - sort of hexies, but not as complicated. I added half-triangles at the ends to even it off, but of course it didn't come out even so I had to add bits to get it even. The basic top is finished, but I want ti frame it with strips of orange and green and then a pale yellow backing. I haven't found the right shades yet though.

Strips laid out

Small purple flannel quilt

 One corner has a little raised bit for a child to play with. I totally did that on purpose. It's about 2x3 feet. Maybe.





Strawberry mouse flannel quilts

 There are two of these, they are about a yard square. I had not quite enough of the dull red for the backing, went to Joanns to get more, didn't take the original with me, got the wrong shade, so one has a much brighter red backing than the other.







Flannel deer quilt

 This quilt is about... 4x4 feet maybe? For something that was just using up the deer flannel I randomly bought, it took a long time and lots of redoing. Mostly because I measured the small green and brown strips wrong.

T-shirt dresses

 I finished off a couple more knit skirts attached to t-shirts. This finishes this project and I'm going back to work on some quilts, while I think about trying some more ambitious clothing projects.
