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
Merry Christmas, everyone!
If you're looking for something Christmasy to listen to/watch over the next few days, here's the most recent episode of my favorite podcast Blurry Creatures. It's a really fascinating (and nerdy) deep dive into the Biblical story of the Magi.
Two days after my son turned in his last paper for his bachelor's degree, I finished my shirt sewing project. Eight shirts, made to measure. Most of the fabrics are linen. Yes, regrettably you can tell exactly when I got my sewing machine repaired... but I hope these help him as he moves through his master's program and in life.
We had a very quiet Thanksgiving, and I'm doing palate cleansers between the shirts in my shirt gift project, so I ran through the scrap pile and made myself an apron.
Aprons, IME, should be made of thicker fabrics in order to actually prevent splashes and stains from getting to your real clothes. Both of these were skirt leftover bits :)
