Today I've marked as finished *two* #sewing projects: a corset cover and a corset. There will be blog posts.
Now i have the slippers in progress, but I'm starting to think about the next #handsewing project, and I have two options.
The one I've been planning is yet another shirt, using some linen-cotton fabric from the stash in blue rather than white: something that I felt the need for this spring, and will probably use again this early autumn, when it will be still warm enough for wearing just a shirt, but also not too hot for anything that isn't white.
And then there may be the fact that I still watch youtube videos, and see stuff, and decide that I want something like that, and that I even have the fabric for it in my stash, so I have no valid reason not to. But that's something that is probably more suitable for early spring, and thus I will not start working on it until I've finished the shirt.
Or at least I will not start *sewing* it. I do have to prepare a pattern O:-)

I shortened the old lightweight cropped pants in order to add a phone pocket. 👌✨📱🩳 Now these shorts are more practical.

Pink skeleton bat, mostly hand-sewn for my (adult) niece. Phases of creation were roughly “Ooh this is a great idea!”, “Whose idea was this?”, “It’ll all be worth it in the end”, “[censored]”, “Why do I keep trusting patterns off the internet”, and finally “let’s never speak of this again”. I kind of wish she was still four years old so she won’t notice how wonky it is. But hey, it’s the thought that counts!

Made a carrying pouch, making use of the leftover nylon fabric from the rain pant project.
https://mindly.social/@otterX/116219106992691907I love making useful stuff.

Today it was too hot to do, well, anything, really, so we decided to take a day off and rest.
Which means that I've spent the whole day #handsewing.
Which, one could assume, means that I've finished the vampire shirt? of course not, I still have to attach two pairs of finishing patches to the sleeve slits, of course.
But I've worked quite a bit on a new-ish project, so that's good, right?
And to be fair, I had cut the fabric for that project close to two years ago, so it didn't completely count as a *new* project either.
(It's a towel hair wrap, and a second one in a lighter fabric to use as general head wear)
