Jammies Done...

 I can't show full photos of the Grammie's Jammies than these bits

or I'll give away the surprises! Partial photos will have to do for now.

 

  I made the pants, and bought a coordinating top. The colors in the 

shirt really are in the pants. The blue is actually navy, and for some 

reason it shows brighter here than it does in my editing program.

 This set is flannel. I made the pants and a soft, sleeveless

 top, so I added a long-sleeved t-shirt as a warmer option.

Soft flannel pants in a brighter aqua, which I then paired with an equally soft t-top. The sleeves were too long, so I shortened them to  a 3/4 length. That should make it comfy for cool or warm weather.
Three sets of jammies done! I'm almost finished with my list and  will start wrapping later today. Tomorrow will definitely be a day of rest!

Marching Right Along...

  I'm getting there! 2 sets of jammies completed yesterday. I'll finish up the jammies today, as well as the eye mask and table runner. I'll be back tomorrow.  (whew!)

Still Sewing, Can't Talk...

Actually, I do always sew gifts for the holidays. You already know that.  I'd love to sit and chat with you today, but I'm a little busy.
I have a doctor's appointment first thing today, and then finishing up a few  things before I'm ready for Christmas. I may add more if there's enough time.
Here's what I have left: 3 sets of Grammie's Jammies Bind one table runner and one lap quilt 1 (more) eye mask 2 zippered kit bags   If I have "extra" time: 2 - 3 more wallets 3 gift card holders   If you ask me, I'm doing pretty well! I have three days by my calculations. I know some of you are laughing right now. I don't have time to post photos,  but I will get pictures of everything before I wrap the projects for delivery.
How are you coming with your lists?

I'm In The Workshop...

 I've been busy in the studio Santa's Workshop this past week.

I'm thanking my guild girlfriend, Melinda, for introducing me to this

 latest project, and I'm having fun a blast working in my stash of fabrics.

 Nothing like a little Mary Engelbreit to add some cheer...

 and this Country Girl (me) loves this fabric line featuring farm animals.

 Don't you love Alice in Wonderland? I do, too, and I've had this fabric  for so long, I was afraid it was going to end up in my "permanent"  stash assortment. You know - the stuff you never intend to cut into. Not anymore. I've been cutting away!

 This set is from two different fabric lines that are coffee-themed. I'm making these (and more) as gifts - or to offer in my Etsy Shop.    Curious about what these are going to be?  I'm still cutting and preparing pattern pieces, but I'll have  pictures of finished projects to share on Monday. (wink)   Happy Saturday!

First Finish Of The New Year...

 I was so happy to spend some time in the studio yesterday. I made a

new Sewing Organizer to use as a model for classes I'll be teaching.

 I chose Moda's Basic Grey "Figgy Pudding" fabrics from my stash. 

The outside fabric reminded me of colorful swim rings, so I decided

 to add some of my beach cabin tape from LillaLotta to the outside.

 The lining and binding is done in another Moda fabric in red and white polka

dots. (Thinking, "Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny" polka dot bikini...but not yellow.)

 By dinnertime, I was finished sewing on the binding! I'll take it over 

to the shop so they can start signing up students for me to teach.

 If you're interested in making an organizer of your own, you can visit

my Craftsy shop (Brynwood Needleworks) to get your own pattern.

If you look for my listings by my name, search for Brynwood Donna.

(There's a quick link to my Craftsy shop in my left sidebar.)

Well, I'm happy to have spent a little time in the studio and finish my first

 project of the new year. Today, I'll be checking in with the Coffee Club.

Nothing like a few hours with the girls to kick off the weekend!
