Sewing and I have a love-hate relationship. I’ll get into a rhythm where I sew a million projects one after another, and then I won’t look at or even think of a sewing machine for months. Last fall I took an upholstery class, and the last piece to my chair was the box cushion. I tried to do it on my own and struggled to keep it all straight. Sometime in February got so frustrated that I set it aside for a while and moved onto other projects including another upholstery class. Except the sewing machine has still been on the dining room table! 
Lately I’ve been taking a break from house stuff (painting the summer bedroom is still not going well) and it’s too rainy to work much outside. So sewing has picked up again. Here are some projects I have been working on lately:
(The button un-attached itself here. I will have to try something different, I think.)
as a side note, I just LOVE this fabric. I have had it for a few years now and not known what to do with it. I still have quite a bit left to make something else, too!
Next, I think I’d like to try to make a mini version of this grocery bag alternative.
