Been SO BUSY lately. Here are a couple of things I just wrapped up. Still have a couple major projects for Christmas, one of which is a lap quilt 60x60 which I finally finished the top and basted it, but have to quilt and bind it. Also, hosting a christmas party for our twin playgroup so I decided to make all the kids (14 total!) gingerbread aprons. I currently have 2 gingerbread men stitched out... the party is in 10 days. Hoping they go quickly to assemble. I am making them from tea towels so they are mostly hemmed and just need the applique and the straps.
Finished 2 more Hulk sweatshirts, one for each of my boys to match their cousin's I posted last week. All 3 shirts came from the same $6 fleece remnant and about $4-5 of green and black. Love the cost of these!
Made this Avengers throw for my comic-obsessed husband. This was (I was told mistakenly) on the remnant shelf at Hancock so it cost about $6.
I picked up two of these fleece throws at Ikea for $3 each, they were the perfect color for these Agent P throws for my boys. I might add their names on them. Haven't decided. BTW having used other designers, I always LOVE going back to HeatherSue's stuff. I love the eyes on this guy, so great. Still need to stitch out one more for the other kid.
One of my learning my serger projects was making these pillowcases for my boys. I picked up the flannel at Joann for 60% off one day doorbuster, and they LOVE them. As you can see they have taken to sharing a bed. One has a recent terrible fear of monsters and the dark, so sleeping with a buddy seems to help. Could have saved so much money on that 2nd bed. (and they are absolutely using one as a pillow and one as a blanket.)
And Finally, the projects I made for our twin birthday parties this week. These for the 4 year olds:
And these, which look much better in person than this terrible photo, for the 3 year old Chicago Bears fans.
I also made 2 shirts for the big give, and as soon as I have confirmed the family has them I will post them. I am thrilled with how they turned out!
Whew! Now back to my aprons and quilt. And a couple more hoodies from fleece remnants...
