Sewing

Fresh batch of scooter coffee cozies.

Coffee Cozies

I had a productive sewing week. I got an order for 25 coffee cozies. It was such a nice challenge! This order came at the right time because lately I've felt like I am slipping into the Bell Jar. Sewing these coffee cozies reminded me how much I enjoy sewing.

Yesterday was a good day...

Just finished the scooter cozy on the left. The cozy on the right is my favorite everyday cozy. I used one of my Grandmother's old buttons.

Monday was great. I felt so wonderfully productive. Last week I went to the fabric store and the new fabric I got is inspiring me. It made me want to sew. However my productiveness could also be from my heavy rotation of my girls Lily Allen and Florence and the Machine After I got some sewing done I took the boys to the public pool to cool off. It has a fun diving board. I even dove in. It was so strange being able to see under water. It made me so happy to be in the shallow end of the pool with D and being able to see F.W. dive in the deep end. It's the little things right?

coffee cozy revisited

This is one of the 1st coffee cozies I ever made AHH. A friend sent me this picture. I am so happy she is still using it!!!

I should be working on my birdie sling but I am taking a little break because I've hit a rough patch. I am a little confused about making the handle. I am so close to being done. I just don't want to mess it up! I needed to take a breather before I reread the directions.

Coffee Cozy

I've been a crumby blogger and I am playing catch up today. The month of October I have been working on these coffee cozies for a baby shower. I finished 35 fantastic coffee cozies. I used flannel receiving blankets to make them. The flannel is really thick so that was a bit of a challenge.
