A piece of thick, plaid vintage wool in colors of rust, cream, and slate blue.

Woman models a vest made from the plaid wool fabric. The vest has a curved front hemline and is embellished with blue binding.

I've had this vintage Pendleton wool in my stash for years. Our very cold winter nudged me into finally putting the fabric to good use. Vest sewn with self-drafted pattern. It feels like a warm hug.

So here's the project I made with the Cathedral window square. It's a Japanese inspired Shifuku bag. Such bags were used to carry tea wares to formal tea ceremonies. I thought the pocket in front was perfect for the window piece.

The #STLDay14 prompt was Texture. This made me think of the Turk's Head Knots tied by my uncle, a merchant marine. I attached them to a wall hanging I'm making in his honor. ⛵️

The summer heat is unrelenting. So I'm still producing light clothes to stay cool in. Here is a loose tank top made from an upcycled rayon shirt. Easy breezy.

Cool threads for hot days. This cropped cotton tank needed a little something extra, so I added a few brush strokes. Available soon in my online shop. One size fits most.

Small crossbody bag in brick-red denim has a rose medallion appliqued to its front flap.

Interior of small crossbody bag is lined with rose printed cotton and has three pockets for holding a phone, cards, cash, or other small items.

Back of the Rose Festival Bag has a pocket large enough for a phone or sunglasses.

I must have been influenced by June's Rose Moon, cos I made this little festival bag with an appliqued rose medallion that was cut from vintage linen. This handy little bag is available in my online shop right now:

A field of wildflowers with bright orange poppies.

Stenciled images of poppies printed on cotton cloth.

My current muse: wild poppies growing along the roadside. Gotta capture these while I can, in photos and in prints on cotton. Will be adding stitching to the printed cloth.
