Slippers sound great! What pattern did you use?
One Star Wars bag down and the next one partly cut 🙂

Sewed a pair of slippers for my sister for Christmas last night. Going to make another pair for my other sister. I also have two more American Girl doll dresses to make, and then a red ponte skirt for myself to wear for Christmas.

Heidi you’re a machine! I’ve just completed one and feel so glad to be done with it.

I bought fabric to make at least 4 more messenger bags, this time I bought Star Wars fabric for added contrast! And it was my last day of work for the year I have a number of weeks ahead of me to hopefully sew 🙂

Tamara, I’m so sorry to hear about Murray. I’ll be keeping him in my prayers.

Please keep us posted on your husband’s status, will you? He (and you) will be in my prayers as well. xo
