Yay! I finished Niece1's #BirdWatchingBag about a month early! (Now I just need to make sure I don't forget to mail it, lol!) I still have a few tools to add to it that aren't pictured, but it's the perfect size to hold the monocular we got her along with a water bottle.
I used the H2O 2Go Sling pattern by LindsHandmade and printed it at 115% size and reversed the clips & triangle rings, so it has the option of being clipped to something besides the strap. I mostly followed the instructions as they're written though. I also used 1" nylon seat-belting for the strap, which I really like! I'm glad I got some for my stash in grey and black as well.
I might move the tag (it ended up being too low on the pocket), but I haven't decided if it bothers me enough to mess with it.
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
I finally finished the quilt for my daughter. I couldn’t take pictures of the entire thing (her room is a disaster zone), but here’s some of the patchwork and the embroidered square I made because I ended up being one short. I did learn that I’m going to need to find a better way to lay out any future quilts that are twin sized or larger, because I had to keep shifting it around the slightly too small area of our basement carpet and the backing ended up getting doubled up in multiple places. By the time I discovered it, I couldn’t bring myself to unpick that much of the quilting, so it’ll have to stay. But I think it’s going to be awhile before I do any more quilts. Between this and the patchwork jeans (which I did end up having to shorten some), I’m feeling burned out on big projects for now. I did cut out a basic knit tee, so hopefully that’ll be enough of a palate cleanser to get me over the lack of motivation to sew that I was feeling by the end of this.
