Please join me for a 12-day photo challenge in the days leading up to Christmas! Starts this Sunday, December 13 and goes through Christmas Eve. Invite your friends!
I have created 12 prompts (one for each day) and it can be whatever you want it to be. Christmas or otherwise. Sewing, crafting, art, baking, home decor, something you made, sometime someone made for you, old projects, plans for future projects, a combo of all - just be creative in your own way!
Post a photo/series of photos (10 allowed per post) or a video in The Sewing Sphere community that go with the day's prompt.
I'll be sharing a variety of my costuming work and personal projects from the past since I've done a surprising amount of Christmas sewing according to my old photos!
Use #HolidayPhotoHop2020 so we can chain them all together.
See list of prompts below and a calendar version (second pic) if you find that easier to follow.

I spent the day priming things for paint and then I remembered to shoot a quick video. #SewingStudioBuild
I started cutting all the edges while Janet was away yesterday morning. When she got back after lunch, she pulled out a roller and started filling in. I'll put a pic below in the comments. #SewingStudioBuild
We broke for lunch and then came back with a portal ac unit plugged in to an extention cord from the house. Can't wait until they finished hooking up all the electrical and we have the mini split cooling the room for us - it was stupid humid today! #SewingStudioBuild
Tonight I learned how to do foundation paper piecing (fpp) without sewing through the paper. I've never had any desire to sew through the paper and then have to rip it all off. This was much faster with no ripping required in the end!
I plan to make this Jack Russell Terrier block into a decorative pillow.

A client I made a cosplay for a few years ago won tickets to The Kentucky Derby in May and commissioned me to make her outfit! This is going to be a fun build!
Her inspiration is from a dress in Singin' in the Rain, and I found a good starting point pattern to use from Mrs. Depew Patterns that has a similar vibe. It's a repo of a 1920s evening gown.
I printed her size and taped it together this afternoon. It isn't the cleanest draft (lots of pointy curves), but it seems decent enough and I can clean it up. I'll start on a mockup in a few days.

Making lingerie out of scraps again. This is a scrap of Liberty of London lawn (left over from a blouse) and some lingerie lace I bought on Etsy (where it is extremely affordable and available in an nearly-infinite variety of styles/colors). I went with a band of sheer ribbon and matching straps.
This is a pattern I rubbed off a bought nightgown.
