Day 199 of 2026

I want to make Fireball a shirt. 

I bought the pattern and the prescribed amount of fabric. 

I have begun laying out the pattern on the fabric

 according to the diagram. 

No matter how many times I measure the fabric 

and review the pattern layout, 

I keep coming up short. 

I suspect it is a pattern-writing error 

and will look into that at a later time. 

For now Fireball will be getting a short sleeved shirt.

 

Day 198 of 2026

I finished another sweatshirt pillow cover 

and then moved on this pouf 

which has been waiting for a zipper since last year. 

It has its zipper now and will be filled 

with small bits of threads and unusable fabric scraps. 

 

Day 197 of 2026

I only finished one sweatshirt pillow cover today, 

but I have a good idea how to tackle the other three now. 

I should get a good amount of sewing time tomorrow

 so we'll see how far I get.

 

Day 196 of 2026

Today I'm working on a new project 

which involves sweatshirts and zippers.

 

Day 195 of 2026

One of the things I love 

about this Matchy Matchy Sewing Club pattern

 is that right before you are to stitch 

the final edge of the bias facing down, 

it reminds you to add a label, if you are using one.

 

Day 194 of 2026

My main accomplishment for the day 

was assembling these four chairs. 

I am sure to have some sore hands tomorrow

 as some of the bolts were extremely stubborn. 

I was determined to get them done today though, 

so I did not have to begin the process again tomorrow.

 

Day 193 of 2026

I'm almost finished with my second Collage Gather Top. 

Tomorrow I'll finish the neck and hem

 and try to get a picture.
