Currently in progress are many things in my workshop. I could classified as a
compulsive "starter".
I have a great pair of pants coming together for the summer. I may have misjudged the fabric, it's a bit "cling-y" in areas I would prefer a bit more drape. More on those later.
I'm also working on some great flower pins. I'm thinking these are a fad, and I should get them together before they are outdated. I think Michelle Obama is responsible for the resurgence in Large Flower Brooches. Thanks to the first lady for that! These are made from wool scrap and cotton flowers cut from leftover shirting fabric.Don't throw away those scraps!!
A Bunch of Bloomin' Flowers!!
Here one on the machine getting top stitched. Some of the wool is boiled and very stable, and I also used polar fleece, so I'm not worried about fray.

Now it's time to trim, top and bottom
Glue or stitch a pin to the back and it's grand! I made some big pins over the winter in all wool, and use a safety pin (large) just to keep the pins stable!

The reason every project takes ten times longer than it should! I have to pet the pups!!! (Kyle) Mysti runs when she sees the camera come out!
See you all next time!
