I managed to recover from all the hacking and coughing, shivers and aches in time to finish up the last few Christmas gifts...

I took a photograph which I traced for this special little embroidery for a friend who started our local sewing group, Tubs Anonymous (cause we all have tubs of fabric at home and the local quilting guild had already taken the name, Prairie Strippers). I glued it into the frame on Christmas Eve and covered the mess with some ribbon glued to the back. |

My brother hates hugs and touching of any kind so of course I had to make him this fabulous design from Sublime Stitching. |

I love all the felt birds designed by Susan of Downeast Thunder Farm and was very happy to get my Grandma's favorite bird made up for her tree. |

The not nieces and nephew have started playing imaginary games like "King" so I thought I'd make some dress up clothes! I hacked the Tumble Tee pattern for the make the princess dresses. I used this tutorial for the gathered skirts and cut the front of the Pink Princess's skirt in thirds to add the lace panel while leaving the back in one piece. I just sewed some costume necklaces right on so they wouldn't loose them. The knight/king/warrior costume came from the dollar store and a large piece of purple velvet I cut into a cape shape and sewed onto the shoulders of the breastplate. |
Welp that's about all I've gotten done for the rest of 2013... Stay tuned this week for the wrap up of the Stashbusting Sewalong 2013.
