Here we are again at the beginning of a new year of Sew My Style. I decided to make the Tania Culottes by Megan Nielsen this month. I wanted to make the longer view, but I am challenging myself to use my stash for Sew My Style this year. That's not going to work for all the patterns throughout the year, but if I can, I want to use what I already own. I chose a cool linen print for my Tania, but there was not enough fabric to make the longer version, so shorts it is!

Just a quick update. I am prepping some bags for little girls, and I have been busy with machine embroidery. I finished January's Bag of The Month 2018. The Podium by Chris W Designs. It was easy, and it's a great bag. I should have used foam, but I used fusible fleece. Next time, I'll use foam.

I also made myself another hoodie from the So Sew Easy free pattern.

Got myself a new camera! Super excited.

New BINGO boards have been made. They look impossible :(.

Quilting BINGO Board.

Bags and Stuff BINGO Board

Clothing BINGO Board

I finished the Clover Convertible Bag from January 2017, so I can now begin the Podium. Clover was simple enough until I got to the traincase and then all sorts of things went wrong :(. I may make it again without the traincase OR I may make it with the traincase and the right type of zipper. LOL.

Back in the rut of not writing. The Bag of The Month Club ended and started up again! I am excited for July's release. Here's my June bag by Chris W. Designs. It was tough, but I made it through.

The fabric is Millie's Closet by Riley Blake.

Normally, I don't make the big name brand patterns. They make me nuts as the directions never seem to make sense to me. I keep trying though. This one caught my eye. It is so pretty and so me.

Still no BINGO for me. Seriously. I have been sewing alot (except for when I was sick), but I haven't been focused on the BINGO. Oh well. Also, I fell off the wagon bought a bunch of fabric. Not cool.

Here's the Polaris Bag. It's the March Bag of The Month. Pattern by Sew Sweetness.
