Twenty-seven weeks to go . . . I’m going to conquer another one!
I finished my project yesterday, Friday, June 30th. I used the Phone Pouch with Zipper pattern again by Debbie at http://www.wowilikethat.com; except, I made a cross body strap.
Twenty-eight weeks to go . . . There’s nothing new under the sun, just your interpretation.
This week I created something that was not sewn. I like to dabble in screen printing, so today I took a CYMK (cyan, yellow, magenta, and black) screen printing workshop at the Newark Print Shop. It’s not easy working with four colors but the results are awesome. Watching your colors blend before your eyes is really cool! My tester was done on paper, and then I screened a tote bag (not shown) and t-shirt. I used a picture of a quilt that I made. This is definitely an interesting process. The photo on the left is printed on paper, the middle photo (t-shirt) first yellow and then cyan, and the last photo (t-shirt) has all four colors.
Twenty-nine weeks to go . . . What should I create this week?
I took the easy way out again, and found a DIY quick project. I made a Journaling Bookmark (and pencil holder). The sewing tutorial can be found on Sew Can She‘s website. After I made the bookmark; I realized I should have added a medium to heavy interfacing to the back fabric for more stability.
Thirty weeks to go . . . thinking about making a bucket hat for my youngest grandson. I saw a free pattern by Liesl Gibson.
Oh well, I didn’t make it in time this week. I started at 8 pm on Sunday. So, I am late posting my project. I am trying to get my project completed before Sunday, but as we all know procrastination is a waste of time. However, I did make the reversible bucket hat.
