I've really gotten into this dishcloth pattern! It's called Ballband Dishcloth and it's alot of fun.
I made some grey ones for my brother.
University of Oklahoma themed pair for my supervisor.
And I made the Ballband Dishtowel Pattern for me. I didn't make it as wide as the pattern and I'm glad that I didn't because it is heavy enough the same width as the original pattern.
I finished the Owl Beanie that I think I started last May. The yarn is variegated so the little owls don't show as well but that's ok. I think really bold owls would be a little much for me. I need to add buttons for eyes and then it's ready for the fair! It's probably a little too simple to win anything at the fair but I'm still proud of it. I made it pretty tall so it's very slouchy. I used the Conversationalist instructions to finish it off matching the height and closure style.
I made 3 chemo caps for the hospital but I forgot to take a pic :(
I also participated in the #summerstitchfest16 last weekend. It's a social media sewing bee type thing sponsored or I guess created by Sonya Philip.
It was a great way to get me motivated to finally finish the two dresses that I started like 10 weeks ago :/
I went to my mom's and we sewed together Saturday morning and then I finished it up Sunday.
I love it and can't believe I waited so long to finish it.
It's Simplicity 1620. I used it last summer and found notes from 6/28/15 about hem length LOL. So that was nice. I used the reverse of the fabric as the outside. The right side was too bold for my taste. There was a really sharp contrast between the polka dots and the pink background. I like the reverse so much better. It looks softer and kind of 80's to me ;) I'm hoping to wear this dress and another one that is in progress that is black to my new job starting August 16th!
Mr. Robot is blowing my mind right now! I have to listen to an aftershow podcast to get it but I'm not complaining at all. Rami Malek and the entire cast are so good!
