A New Project

Sometimes, when you've finished a long-running project, you need to work on a project that will be completed quickly...



...to boost your spirits...


...and help you remember that sewing projects don't have to last MONTHS and MONTHS...


 ...not to mention YEARS!



A project that lasts an hour or so...


...with bright, colorful fabrics...


...can even make a rainy Saturday morning cheerful and fun!

  1. Very cheery pillow coverings! It is fun to make something that gives you the immediate gratification of a finish (or closure, as I like to call it).

  5. I am on the same track...yesterday I made a half dozen luggage tags just so I could feel what it is like to finish something!

    Your pillowcases look great!

  9. Totally agree, some quick finish gratification is what you need to give you incentive to carry on with the bigger projects.
