Weekend Stitches
It seems like I spent a fair amount of time in my sewing room over the weekend. The biggest completed project was a top for me. I like how it turned out, although if I do it again I'll lengthen the bodice by an inch or so. It's a cute eyelet top, should be a good summer shirt.
I also made some progress on Lucky Pezzy, finally. I've had the half square triangles sewn for quite some time, but needed to cut them in half and trim them down. I used the "quilt-in-a-day" ruler to trim the 5 inch charms to 4.5 inch HST's, and that's definitely the way to go! If I try to cut the 4 7/8" square, then square them up, they're always more wonky than I'd like. This way was both much quicker and more accurate.
I'm using a Pezzy layer cake - I think the end product is going to be quite fun! I got a start on sewing the squares together last night. Had to rip four of the five squares. I'm obviously going to have to be very careful about orientation. But I love making even a bit of progress.
