September is National Sewing Month!

September is National Sewing Month!!

September is National Sewing Month(!!), which means it's the perfect time to finish all those 1/2 finished projects I've started.

I've already started off finishing a laptop dust case I started last year. I say "dust case" because it's not the best protector for your 13 inch Mac Book Pro, but it keeps it clean and you'll be able to show off your favorite Marvel Superheros! (features: quilt batting for thickness, velcro closure, which includes room for the charging cable so you can keep it plugged in and charging while still in the case)

Today I found some fleece I had in a drawer and cut, serged and sewed the edges for heatpacks. I completed one, the other 3 need buttons and I'll save that for a rainy day.

I also went to JoAnns and picked out some fabric for a special order of placemats. I found some cute fabric for this order and I'll need to go back probably at the end of the week for some more

So the projects that will be accomplished by the end of this month, excluding special orders, are:
-Silverware holder
-Wine bottle gift bag
- 2 zebra embroidery gift bags

I'm sure if I look through my fabric stash I could find some more projects that have yet to be finished.

WTNV (cosplay) skirt

I MADE A SKIRT! I'm going to a live WTNV show this week. It'll be my 2nd show and (75+ podcasts later) I'm really excited! I wanted to make a really easy skirt without a pattern for awhile now and after scouring the interwebs for an hour I found a couple sites with some pretty easy instructions. (you can check them out here and here ). I didn't want it to be overly complicated- so no zipper or fabric waistband, but I did want a lining and an elastic waistband. I bought some YaYa Han cosplay brocade (the full cosplay line here ) and some purple lining ( the online picture is a crimson- IRL it's a purple that matches the brocade) from Jo-Anns. I already had some soft 1.5 in elastic from another project( that i haven't started yet...). The last clothing item I made turned out really badly so since I've sewn and learned some new tricks since then, I was pretty optimistic about making this skirt. It seemed really easy while reading it onl...
