WIP it - i'm a sewing machine

Ha! See what I did there? I got a lot of sewing and crocheting done this week. A LOT! This is what happens when you have the weekend off and don't leave your apartment except to grab something to eat and work out. I could totally do that every weekend. I don't mind being home when I have things to do.

Block 8 of Beginner's Quilt Along - I kinda wish that the stripes would've either all lined up nicely or where all wonky enough to not line up at all. I probably could've made that happen, but it would've been more work than I was willing to do. I'm not lazy, I just don't feel then need to do extra work if I don't absolutely have to. There was a lot more sewing that needed to be done.

Added four more rows to Oh Lucy! I didn't want to stop sewing, but knew I had to work on other things. I did ignore my hungry tummy for an hour though. She's much bigger than I thought she was going to be. Oops. Oh well. This one has been a learning experience for sure. Also, I think I will be naming all my quilts with people type names. I don't know why, I just think it'll be fun.

Quilts for Kids - This sucker went together quick. I finished most of the top except for the borders. I thought about doing them, but wanted to get some more work done on Lucy. I think part of why this went together so quickly is because I received the kit with all the parts already cut. The only cutting I did was for the four square blocks.  My only frustration at this point is that some of the cuts they made were uneven. It's okay though because I made it work. 

Made a few more card holders and added one to my etsy shop. I'll make a few more for this weekend as well. I've had interest from one person so far for one. Hopefully I'll get a little more interest in them soon. I think they'd be good for school. Keep your money and ID in them and throw them in your pocket or back pack.

I cut some 2.5 inch squares for the Scrap Vomit Appreciation Society swap. I have to cut 100. I've got maybe 20 done. I'm using up my scraps so if there's enough left for a 2.5 inch square it gets cut. Easy peasy. Not even sure what I'll do with the squares I receive. Maybe make a pillow or two.

I've finished another cowl and a few more hats for Sew Loco. A few more to go and I'll be ready for
Saturday. Anything left after Saturday I think I'll put up on etsy. I need to find some models for them though.

No progress on the sewing machine cover, the great granny square/baby quilt or the zipper pouches. I don't expect to make any progress on the sewing machine cover until after my fabric freeze is over...unless I win some fabric in a giveaway or credit to a shop or something. 

I did end up making a dress this weekend too. It's kinda see through though, so it either needs a slip or a tank and some leggings to go underneath. I ended up making it more difficult to make then it needed to be. Lesson learned.

Also linking up with Lily's Quilts for Fresh Sewing Day and Small Blog Meet, here are a bunch of things I worked on and finished this month. I think I got more done than I thought I would. A lot of crocheting too.
