Auction: Wine bottle covers

We had a 60's theme for our school's auction.  These are the wine bottle covers I made.  They are groovy couples and mod couples.  The groovy guy has blue jeans, white shirt, vest, shell necklace and wig.  The groovy gal has calico dress, bead necklace, and wig with flower.  The mod guy has smoking jacket with tie and fedora.  The mod gal has shift dress and cap.  There were 20 couples. 

Sewing: T-shirt upcycle

 

I bought 2 large t-shirts, made sleeves out of one and modified the neckline of my base tshirt.  The rosettes are just rolled material from the spare shirt that I sewed down.  I'm happy with the finished project and I've washed it a few times and everything is still in place.

Sewing: Sweater redo

 

My husband's sweater had a lot of holes in it so I made it into a sweater for my son.  I cut off the bottom of the sweater and the bottom of the arms and I cut off the ribbing around the collar.  I just sewed everything back together and now my son has a cute sweater for next year.

Quilting: Little Monsters quilt top

Here's what I'm working on now.  I'm making 2 Little Monster Quilts by Don't Look Now!  One is a gift and one's for my little monster.  I have one center panel done and I'm almost done with the second.  I have a pieced border to go after that.  I'll post another picture once I have the borders on.

Knitting: Hazel the Humpback

 

Been busy since our school's auction.  Here's my first completed knitted project for the year.  Hazel the Humpback by Bec Brittain, a free pattern on raverly.com.  It was a great project.  My hazel is 36" not the 26" in the pattern.  My son wants to play with it and it's just as big as he is.

Knitting: Dwarf helmet and beard

This was a fun project.  The helmet pattern was originally a baby size so I had to improvise.  The beard is from Melissa Campbell's pattern: etsy.com/shop/TotallyStitching.  It's a free pattern on ravelry.  Want to make everyone in the family one now.

Quilt: Winter wallhanging

 

The flowers for this wallhanging are made out of polar fleece.  I used the pattern I found on purlbee.com/felt-flower-winter-wreath.  Instead of using 4 pieced background fabrics, I used one piece of holiday fabric that I quilted and then attached the flowers.  The pattern used a solid background which I think showed the flowers a little more than mine.
