In my post-spring term sewing frenzy, I have completed a lot of little sewing projects I had on my list (about half of these are even on The List). Here’s the wrap-up:

1. Hemmed a skirt. I rarely wore this and I decided it was because it was just a bit too long. Now I think it’s perfect!



2. I used this tutorial to make a tea wallet. This is perfect for me, because I always take tea with me when I travel. Vintage button from my stash (not from Exclusive Buttons), and vintage ric-rac. Cute little scrap of Japanese fabric!





3. Belts! These were made using Jessica’s tutorial, for the most part, and vintage buckles from Exclusive Buttons. The first one is a single piece of fabric — not patched — to go with my new dress. Unfortunately, I was cheating with the belt I wore in the photos. In real life it is WAY too long, so I needed a new one!



The second belt is patchwork, and I made it using leftover pieces I already had sewn together from making the Stacked Coins Quilt. It’s looking a bit long, but would be really easy to shorten if I got so motivated.




4. One Cozy Camera Case for a gift for someone.



5. The little plastic wrapper for the purse-sized tissues that I had been refilling for months gave up the ghost and I needed something else. This isn’t fabulous, but it will do! No tutorial here, I just kind of made this up as I went along.





6. Chair cushions. These are destined for the pilates studio I go to. (My spell checker doesn’t recognize the word “pilates!”) They have a couple wooden folding chairs whose cushions have seen better days. These should help! For these I just copied how the cushions on the chairs now were made.



Whew! I might even have to do an official update on The List when I get back from the beach!
