Stitch Whimsy

I just finished between yesterday and today the last few projects I really wanted to get done… and I have to remember to sew up the one side of my son’s pillow that got messed up. Other than that, this is it:

Wrist band pin cushion

Bone Neck pillows. The old 2 we had were well worn and the material died, so I reused the stuffing and added a bit more to make these 3. One is travel sized

I had posted this once, but apparently it was EATEN by my the Internet.

I was more detailed last time. Now I’m tired LOL

Relined favorite purse:

Repurposed pillow case for sewing machine cover:

Finished hospital gown:

Maternity dress pants easily converted back to regular pants:

Got a few more things on my mind to make before I get too busy to sew all day and night LOL. Getting better at sewing is great

Currently I am working on a cat version, but these are the 2 I made for my Stitch Soulja partner Lisette:

I made him a blanket in aqua mist cotton:

and this ADORABLE amigurumi Penguin … First ami I ever made!

Plan to send them out sometime this week to my sister for the baby.

Nevermind, I will give them to her when I see her for Thanksgiving hopefully.

Forgot to upload the pics from the finished sewing basket:

I am working on a custom hospital gown based on the pattern I downloaded from Lazy Girl Designs. I began this project on October 18th maddd early in the morning:

Why? Well I am pregnant and I want the pictures in the hospital to look a little better than they did when I had my firstborn!

So I have taken it upon myself to make a sewing basket. Using a boot sized shoe box just isn’t cutting it anymore. My friend Lisette was nice enough to let me have her old picnic basket for this very project

Bottom Lining:

Inside lining with brown:

I am currently working on the insert for the pockets and the lid stuff which is blue felt and some weird traditional cord lining style stuff. This is all from things that people have given me over the course of the last few months. I hope that I will have more progress to show you soon. So far this has been my late night don’t want to go to sleep till 2 in the morning project.

So here is the beginning of the tallit that I am making for my husband:

A nice lady from ravelry will be sending me some special additions for the finishing touch.

I also whipped up cases for my phone and mp3 player:

It was fun to crochet holding 2 worsted yarns together of different textures while using a too small needle *size 5* to make the fabric tight.

I am not planning on touching the Footprints cross stitch again till cold weather sets in.

We (being NarnianKnitter and I) are also working on various baby items, since there are a number of women expecting in the coming months.
