The skirt is a heavier/glossier knit/jersey fabric. It worked when I pinned it, but when I sewed it the weight of the heavier skirt (it's got four pieces) dragged it down. The key loop also somehow ended up in the wrong place. I have another pink shirt and more fabric, so I might try again maybe with less fabric in the skirt, or shortening the shirt. I'll have to think about it.

red panda t-shirt dress
I'm slowly working my way through projects. I took care of a bunch of mending and am working on the stuff I had stockpiled. This is a thin/cheap jersey fabric that I cut just two double-sided pieces out of. I braided a loop for my keys.
Puzzle
This was a Ravensburger puzzle with fungi. It was sitting on my puzzle table for... a long time. I finished it in the spirit of finishing projects and because I got a new puzzle I wanted to do... and discovered a piece missing. Hopefully it turns up somewhere on the floor, but it was probably vacuumed in one of my (infrequent) cleaning bouts.

Pillow
I've been meaning to make a pillow that could easily be restuffed (and washed) instead of constantly sewing up holes in my old pillows. I procrastinated for a long time and finally when I sat down to do it today, I forgot that I was going to add a zipper... anyways, it's not pretty but hopefully it will be workable. I'll probably use a safety pin or something to hold the zipper in place when I wash it.

Bread bags
This was a new project, not an old one to finish, but it was a quick one. I made two bread bags for my sibling who was visiting. They often get bread at Whole Foods and it goes through a slicer and then you slide it into a bag. This was so they can stop having to use the plastic bags. I'm not sure if they're the right size, but I DID spend extra time on actually rolling over the seams and making them look nice (only broke one sewing machine needle lol).
This bag was just plain muslin. I'm worried it's a little too small, especially the opening, to fit over the bread slicer.
