Sewing

Well, I haven't been crocheting a whole lot because I've been sewing!! I have made this crocheted valentine hat because it's an order. They want a white pom pom on top so I am waiting for the pom poms I ordered to come in. I'm going to go ahead and take this hat with me to my craft sale tomorrow. If it sells, then I will make another one.

Also, I don't have pictures yet but I worked on a fingerless glove order while I was at work. I have 2 pair of black and one beige pair finished. Have to make one more black pair and a child's pair.

I also have a crocheted stegosaurs ON my hook at the moment. Just something I wanted to make and I've spent so much time in the past month making things just in mind for my booth that I haven't just worked on something to make just because I wanted to.

Tomorrow is the day! It's gonna be COLD! Not looking forward to that part!

Onto the sewing: It's been a struggle at times, I'm not gonna lie. This is my 2nd bowl cozy! 😂 I struggled with this thing or hours and ripped out seems 3 times. I had already made my first one just fine! How in the world did I do that? So my brain clearly wasn't working right. I threw this in the trash.

But later in the evening, my husband got it out of the trash and I started ripping again. I eventually got it worked out. I can make the bowl cozies now but they are difficult to get perfect. I made my last one today that I had cut out. I'm probably not going to make anymore of these. I decided I don't particular enjoy making them.

But I've made a couple of wallets. This is my first one. I struggled. Had to tweek and I snapped my pocket together. But it works.

I made another one and it turned out much better:

Today I made a origami style pot holder. Turned out pretty good. If I had prettier fabrics this would be a lot cuter! I'll probably make another one of these. You can do make it where it is squares instead of triangles too.
