I am currently in a bit of a low sewing mood after finishing "The Pants Journey^tm^". I still need to take good pictures of it, then I'll tell you about the adventure that it was.

I have decided to reduce my WIP pile and finally shortened a tank top (after several years). I have a green skirt that I need to modify a bit and add a petticoat under it. Shouldn't be too hard but I don't want to cut fabric.

But I am also exited about the cardigan, which will come after the skirt. (or maybe not, we'll see). I want to take it to the little week end gateway in two weeks, that would be perfect.

Also, beeswax wraps have been added to my project list, do I need to hem it or does the wax acts as fraycheck ?

Also, does anyone have discovered new sewing content on the internet recently ? I've been watching some Ash LG videos, they are really nice !

I’ve been back in a quilting mood recently. Mostly finishing off a bunch of mini quilts I’ve been putting off for too long and slowly working myself up to the three big ones I told myself I need to do. Now I’m at the point where I have to baste the large quilts and I hate this part…

Ooh, we don't see a lot of quilts on fedi (at least I don't). What pattern or colours does it have ?

I’m making this quilt first (other than the mini scrap quilts): Painted Desert

I got the kit for it with the original fabrics a long time back and finally got around to making it!

It has a fun topstitching too, I can't wait to see it when it's done !
