Another little present

Here's a sneak peek at a present I'm making. I'm sure that person doesn't read this, so it's probably fine.

I'm making a scarf using old wool suits and silk kimono pieces, like the others I've made. I've pared down the variety of colors and patterns of the silk and wool pieces. And I've made the design more uniform.

I just love the way these gray and purple colors are coming together. It makes me want to go out and buy a gray coat so I can make one for myself.

Oh! And I have yet to hang up my bulletin board. It's quite useful for this kind of project as it's easily moved around the room.

Fall Look

Fall seems closer than it should be. Last weekend I realized that I needed to get down to business. I need to make lots and lots of coffee sleeves and scarves for fall, but also so that I can stock pile some for winter when people are looking for stocking stuffers.

That got me thinking about how I actually sold my own scarf to someone last winter, so I'll need to make a new one for myself. The scarves I sold were made out of fabric from used men's suits and paired with silk kimono pieces. 

Professor Cozy was born out of the same suit pieces and some old button down work shirts.

As I started to work on some more coffee sleeves I decided to combine the suit pieces with some of my pretty new fabrics. I think the combination is great!

I think I might steer the Doe and the Mouse in this direction for fall. I really like the way it's going.
