This month I joined the Stash busting Sewalong theme team and sewed up some Itty Bits. Inquiring minds want to know if the Sewalong theme team as jerseys........ummm we probably have a box full of jeresys. *Guilty as charged*
Since that box and basket of jerseys exists I made my son another pair of
Peek-a-Boo Pattern's Winter PJs. Yeah that's right, I made this exact same thing for last January's Itty Bits challenge. Big whoop, want to fight about it! Hmmm maybe I should stop taking those "performance enhancing" sewing drugs. They seem to making me a little bit combative.
Both the pirate themed ribbed cotton and the black ribbing is from old stash. The pants fabric and the red ribbing is a December 2013 acquisition, but we're calling that stash OK. Don't make me hurt my brain calculating months since purchase. New year, new stash.
Froggie was very helpful during assembly, he knows how to earn extra cookies.
The second project is a bit of a theme cheat, it's not under the "legal yardage limit." Don't tell my coach cause I don't want to be benched during the big sewing meet.
I finally made an infinity scarf out of some silk chiffon bought for that exact purpose. The fabric has silver metallic threads woven in the leopard print. How cool is that! Now I can accessorize that team jersey and blind the referees with my fabulousness. "Did you see the play?" "No, I couldn't take my eyes off that girl's grrrific scarf."
The scarf is a 2 yard fabric tube that was folded in half, seamed and then joined into a loop. In my brain it counts as an Itty Bits project because you can get two scarfs out of 2 yards of fabric. That makes the second scarf a scrap project right, right? Just nod your head yes and I won't give you a swirly.
Instead you could receive a swirly scarf. Oh yes, I made the second scarf as the Jungle January trophy for one of my sewing friends. We all need a little more jungle in our January.
Just leave a comment that you'd like to have your name in the scarf lottery and I'll do a random drawing for the winner next week. I'd have Froggie pick the name but he's easily bought with treats. Don't want any of you getting any ideas about rigging the vote. ;)
Ok, so maybe it was over the legal limit. But the end product is fairly itty, right? So that should count.
ReplyDeleteThat infinity scarf really, reallllly wants to come live with me. (It told me, swear!)
ReplyDeleteooh, I need more scarves, me, me!!!
ReplyDeleteJungle prezzies? Yes, please. That's the kind of trophy I like!
ReplyDeleteOh I love that scarf so much!
ReplyDeleteYes please to that lovely scarf! well done on the stash busting x
ReplyDeleteOh, man! I was banking on being able to bribe froggie! I'll just have to play by the rules!
ReplyDeleteOh pick me, pick me! I need someone to sew for ME, and there are never enough scarves in my world!
ReplyDeleteYou know I want to be entered into this!! By the way, Froggie, I love you. Did I mention that you are my favorite?
ReplyDeleteOooh. Please add my name to the scarf lottery... It would live very happily in my wardrobe rotation!
ReplyDeleteScarf lottery - count me in. Besides the rules should really be something like under a yard or under an ounce, how much could that fabric weigh? OK probably more that an ounce, but you get my point ;-)
ReplyDeleteDmitri is still wearing his pirate shirt like that one!! Love the scarf. I won't put my name in since I've been very blessed with my other Heather wonders but I will admire and drool a little on the screen. Stash busting fun!!!
ReplyDeleteWowzer, you are on a roll, duder! So many fab projects! Also, could Des BE any cuter?!
ReplyDeleteOh my, that scarf is just calling my name! Love it (and really, really want to win it!).
