Daysail (or how I got my "sewjo" back)

 
I've been in a bit of a sewing slump lately which I really hate. I started looking through my fabrics and decided to play with some Daysail. If Bonnie and Camille can't get you out of a sewing funk, nothing can. I decided to revisit the cathedral window pincushion. I haven't made one of these in forever. I made one and my sewjo was back.

I made another pincushion so that I had a pair.
And then i started a mini Sew Together bag. I added some blue polka dot that I found at Joann's and was instantly in love with the red, white and blue.
This is my fifth Sew Together bag and my first mini, and they get easier and more fun to make each time. I love making scrappy pockets and colorful zippers and patchwork on the outside.

This one is a gift for someone special, and I have two more in the works. My sewing machine is happy to see me again!

    Welcome back to sewing! Your sweet projects are an inspiration. I love making those pinnies, too...must get going on a new set, to keep up with you. Your little sew-together bag is fabulous, too. Everything is even better made "mini", in my opinion...too cute!

    I always love to see your sewing. Bonnie and Camille make the best fabric and each series works so well the others too. I will never get tired of seeing red, white, and aqua together. x
