The Sewing Sphere Christmas Photo Challenge 📸🎄

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.

If you want to participate and haven't already subscribed to The Sewing Sphere community, use promo code GRATEFUL2 to get two months free.

Studio video tour!

I spent the day priming things for paint and then I remembered to shoot a quick video. #SewingStudioBuild

Paint!

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

Time-lapse floor install (part 2)

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

Ruffle tail

I draped a really rough half-scale ruffle tail for one of the debutant dresses Janet & I are making. I just eyeballed and freehand cut a scrap of (un-ironed) muslin in a spiral and pinned it to my little dress form to make sure it was long enough to reach from hem to waist. Then I marked the folds and traced it onto graph paper and cleaned it up. The graph paper makes it easier to copy at 200% and tape the pieces back together.

I'll transfer the enlarged frankenstein paper pattern to brown paper when I'm back at the studio tomorrow or Friday and then make it out of the real fabric.

I made 2 of these valentine garlands. Found the tutorial via Instagram and thought it would be perfect to send to Ashley, my daughter in Oregon, and Madison, my birth daughter in North Carolina.
Pics are from Ashley.

What I did at work today

My hand hurts! I spent all day trimming net away from embroidery and weeding out sections that were too dense for what I need this fabric to do.
