Sewing Update

Realizing I was LATE with my November block for the Mid-Century Modern bee, I got busy and started pulling fabric last night and reading the tutorial by Heather of House of Ala Mode for the Spider Web block. This was great fun if you have lots of scraps!

November's queen bee, Rene', asked for a low volume center and to not join the blocks so she can mix them up when she arranges all the blocks she received. I think it's going to be beautiful.

I finished a knit sewing project earlier in the week:

Knit has some tricky requirements, but so comfortable for the wearer! I also made some leggings but they didn't fit in the photo. The pattern is from Butterick over 30 years ago! I made this same pattern for my daughter back then.

What a cute outfit. I haven't sewn knits since my daughter - don't want to either.

What???? Late???? Hee hee! I think there may be a grace period with this Bee. Love the knit outfit...I wish I still had some of those old patterns. Everything comes back around again!

Thanks Mary in advance for my bee block! Love it!

Your web block is beautiful.

That little outfit is so cute. Don't you love those old patterns?

Beautiful Spider Web blocks - she will love them. They are SO addictive, aren't they? I made one in Halloween colours for a friend of mine (small - for a table topper) and I called it Pumpkin Patch at Midnight. I'm seriously thinking of making another.

Your MCM bee block is great! Weren't those fun to sew? I wish I had time to make some for myself. Cute outfit too. I think I need more hours in each day.
