Sewing Progress In July

 

This month I have been working on the stuffed baby whale toys that I was working on last month. 

I did the zigzagging around the edges to finish the seams.

I turned all the whales right side out and stuffed them with poly fill.

I hand stitched the openings shut through which I had turned the whales right side out and stuffed them.

Now for the eyes. I have a lot of eyes to sew on!

I didn't finish all the eyes yet.

I made one baby whale from start to finish and took pictures of every step to create a sewing tutorial. You will see that in a couple weeks.

I sewed a button on to one of my dresses. The new button isn't the same shade as the other buttons on the dress. "This is not about perfection. It is about function!"

Spy the new button?

Speaking of function: I always sew my buttons on with a shank. Buttons function better when sewn on in this manner, in my experience. I have a tutorial on how to sew a button on with a shank if you want to learn more about that, HERE is the link.

That sums up the sewing that I have done this July. I hope your hobby projects have been going well this month!
