Sewing Club - November 2009

**nuisance26** · 10-31-2009, 10:53 PM

~What are you working on this month?
I'm finishing up a new stash of feminine articles, making hats and mending curtains. I have a big bin of unfinished projects and things to fix so I should really be trying to thin that out a bit as well.
Would anyone be interested in a sewing challenge for this month? Should the challenge be vague like 'Make a gift for someone" or themed "Make something with a harvest theme" or specific "Make a pair of wrist warmers"?
Any ideas?~

No ideas for a sewing challenge.....will let the others post that.....my plate is pretty full.

Hope to get more sewing done this month than last....though I did get a bit done.

I'm making a table runner for Thanksgiving as a gift- will be sewn and then quilted - can that count?

Otherwise I don't know what I'm going to sew.

I'm in, I have lots I need to get done this month. I need to make a couple of totes for gifts as well a couple of small zippered pouches.

I am working on re-usable shopping bags. Some to sell and some to use as wrapping paper for Christmas. I cut out another 6 bags today and just need to sew them. They are a striped jewelled colored material. I really like it.

My goal is 25 blankets for project snuggled or whatever it's called.

Love your totes DC!! I just remembered that I got some totes free that have advertising on them. I am going to sew covers on them for gifts too - mahalo for reminding me!!

This month I am working on:

son's jammies
daughter's jammies
pillowcases for my grandma to have at the nursing home
MIL's blanket for Hanukkah
kids' blankets for Hanukkah
nephew's Thomas quilt for Hanukkah
kids' Christmas pillowcases so they can have them after Thanksgiving

It will count IF you post a picture!!

Like the totes DC.....very cute.

Are you just about ready for your craft shows or are you still making stuff? You did decide to do the one in Nov.....right?

**Debbie-cat** · 11-02-2009, 09:15 PM

Thanks FF, but I won't be doing the one in November as I can't find any tables to borrow but that is okay as it gives me a month to keep making things. I have sold quite a bit just off my blog so I have to keep restocking!

Not a problem though as all the money is going into my son's university fund.

I am still making totes and then will move onto some cup cozies I think.

I am sewing DH some flannel pjs and sewing some potholders to sell/give away. Plus quilting and rug hooking, knitting and spinning...no shortage of things to do!

**mauimagic** · 11-02-2009, 09:43 PM

Definitely never a shortage Peanut!!

Mahalo FF - I will be sure to post pictures. Think I may look for fabric tonight....need to check on some yarn also.
