What is your favorite thing to sew?

One of my pieces - This is one of the fabric pictures I created.

Just what the title says! Tell me your favourite sewing project! I really like to make blankets, they're like quilts except I do not enjoy the process of quilting, I enjoy all the piece work though. So I make the quilt tops and then just turn them into blankets. I also really like to make fabric pictures. I sew different pieces of fabric together to create pictures based on photographs.

I prefer to make small things like potholders and napkins. I can get pretty creative with potholders by embroidery or applique, but I don't have the patience to do a bigger project.

I always get bored with my big projects halfway through them. Like the blanket I'm working on now I started 2 years ago, only finishing it now because I have to :P

I like sewing most anything. I have done a ton of quilts. I didn't quilt them...I tied them and they are just as nice...lately I have been sewing purses...for craft sales. They are easy and fast. And good sellers.

I might just tie the blanket I made, I don't like the look of quilting the fabric, I find it takes away from the piece work and makes the back look odd. What kind of purses do you make?

I've been doing a lot of craft sewing lately. I just like making stuff, and I've been picking short projects because I like to have something done within a couple of days _ and I can only sew during naptime.

That is good vulgar. I only like making simple things, like I have made pillow cases and most recently a belt for my son's bathrobe. I'd like to make more complicated things like clothes, but I am not that good..

Practice makes perfect! The more you sew the better you will get at it I promise!

I've never been big on the whole upcycled trend. I don't know why. I guess I don't find it as aesthetically pleasing as a nice crisp new piece of fabric!
