I am making some kids aprons out of thrifted mens shirts at the moment. I would love to win a calendar!
I am sewing reusable lunch and sandwich bags.
Curtains for my son. Would love to have some new ideas.
I would love to get started on this fun binder cover (http://bit.ly/cDZcYx), that I saw on Etsy, for my small notebook planner.
How fun! Unfortunately my sewing has taken a little bit of a backseat, but for a great reason – I am setting up my new sewing/craft room. I am so excited for it to be done and then I will be all set to work on dress redo that has been sitting in my closet for far too long.
I’m going to sew a Halloween costume. Last year I made an elf costume and I have yet to come up with an idea this year.
I made a pleated shoulder bag for myself a couple of weeks ago and now my sister wants a slightly larger one to carry her school stuff in, she just can’t pick out a fabric! So as soon as she chooses a fabric I’ll be on my way :-)
A quilt for my son who is due in 7 weeks.
Lavendar Sachets with my daughter
I would like to be working on a puff quilt for my baby girl :)
what a fun give away! congratulations on being featured in the calendar.
i’m working on a lot of things right now, but sewing related: mending a favourite stuffie toy :)
I’m working on personalized back packs for my three kids for overnights at Grandma’s
I’m in between projects right now, but I just finished up a pencil skirt and a grocery bag. I think next I’ll probably start an apron. My sister wants a new diaper bag, so I might give that a try :)
I would like to be working on an apron for my friend. I love finding new ideas for things, so a lot of the time I have a lot of things I’d like to making… kind of like now.
Right now I am working on a bunch of things: a baby bjorn cover, hooded towel & washcloth gift set, burp cloths, & a pillowcase top w/matching ruffle pants for my daughter. Whew-that’s a lot of stuff-better get back to the sewing machine!
Currently I’m working on a block a month quilt. Sadly, I’m about two months behind right now… I should get sewing!
So glad I stumbled across your site! It’s inspiring in so many ways… The project I am currently working on is organizing a bazaar for local artisans and crafters. We have several quilters and seamstresses and this calendar would make a fantastic gift for one of them. If I’m not fortunate enough to win this giveaway, where can I buy one?
Thanks! Maria
PS: I would LIKE to be learning how to sew :)
unfortunately, the only project i am working on is finding my motivation and inspirations to get started on a sewing one!
I need to get started on an auction quilt for a local non profit….times ticking away!

I’m making knit and crochet hat’s, rag rugs, tunic’s for myself, and levi blanket’s. No reason not to have a project in every corner, so I have something to do no matter where I am lol.
I do lots of different crafts. I recently finished a rubberstamped wall hanging for a baby shower. Next I need to take an old sheet and turn it into (hopefully) multiple kennel covers for my dog. The covers we use now are too hot.

Congrats on having your projects published in a calendar; that is really cool!! I’m new to sewing but it’s been super fun so far…not sure why I waited so long to get started :o) I guess I never knew how much information and learning tools there are for beginners; and everyone in the sewing community are so nice…such a nice change to some of the other hobbies I do.
I’m working on a stitch a long sampler in honor of my “golden” birthday, (I’m turing 27 on the 27th!) one square for every day up to my birthday. (And inviting folks to join me!)

That is awesome! I’m currently working on baby blankets, table runners, an apron and dresses! Trying to get a jump on Christmas!

I’m working on my first quilt, in starts and stops. It’s a pattern called split pea soup. I can’t wait to see how it turns out!
I’m teaching my oldest daughter (16) to sew a cute vintage (1950’s) apron. She’ll learn basic stitching, gathering, hemming, applying ric-rac, turning fabric for the ties, and that’s all I can think of right now. She doesn’t know it yet, but I’m also secretly making a miniature version of the apron using the same materials which I’ll put on a doll hanger for her to have.
I *wish* I were working on my daughter’s quilt for her first birthday that was two weeks ago (yikes!) or the loads of projects to finish before my first ever craft fair in a month. Tonight though, tonight.
Thanks for the giveaway!
I am making nickname throw pillows for Christmas gifts.
I’m working on getting a sewing machine so I can do all these neat projects.

I’m not currently working on anything and don’t sew very much, but I would love some inspiration to get me started!
I live by the phrase “Make It Do”. I was so happy when I found your site. Keep the fun coming!

Unfortunately I’m sewing-machine-less at the moment, so no sewing projects! But I’m working on a Winnie the Pooh cross stitch bookmark, a crochet blanket for a friend of mine, and a knitted pair of wristwarmers for myself… although those haven’t actually been cast on yet! If I could sew, I’d be making myself a lunch bag and some cute rags to use when I’m painting.
Such a cool calendar! I just finished (literally, minutes ago) a super cool messenger bag for a friend. I used a diaper bag pattern and reworked a lot of little details. So glad to finish a project like that!
I am making a runner for my table for fall…
i am sewing a baby blanket!
I am working on a quilt made out of my father’s old pj pants and curtains for our new house. Somehow these projects are way more complicated than I think they should be! Thanks for the giveaway.
I’m working on humanitarian school bags.
Unfortunately my project is cleaning and not sewing, but at least I’m cleaning my sewing nook. I am really having a hard time focusing on cleaning. Every piece of fabric I pick up and fold away I long to run to the machine and quickly dash off something amazing. I filled one basket with WIPs including three bibs, a doll quilt, two skirt redos, and a little girl’s dress from a vintage nightgown pattern.
Hi! I love calendars! I’m currently working on a quilt to display Christmas cards and pictures this December!
I’m holding off because my mom’s surprise 80th birthday party is next week (hope she doesn’t see this), but then my grand plan is to whip the sewing room back into shape and get it organized. After that, my treat to myself will be sewing new curtains and iron board cover (and maybe coordinate the sewing chair!).
Love it here,

I am recently new to sewing. I have just finished a baby sling for a friend who just had a new baby. Now I have absolutely no clue what to do next! Please help I need ideas badly!

I just finished making my wedding dress … :)
And back from the honeymoon already, working on pillowcases to give to charity, part of the the 1 Million Pillowcase Challenge (donated some already to the Little Wanderers! :D )
Right now I am working on making a backpack for my oldest daughter. She starts Kindergarten! So crazy how fast they grow up. I got this calendar last year and I LOVE it. I love making things, it’s what keeps me sane staying at home with my three girls. And I get to make a bunch of one of a kind items.
Curtains! Drop cloth curtains with trim, to be exact! :) I’m new to this & there is so much I want to do!
To be honest I’m just getting in to sewing. I’ve helped with a skirt, made some pilllow cases and a quilt that turns into a pillow. All really small projects but I’d love to learn so more!
I am working on a Minnie Mouse dress for my daughter before we go to Disney World.
I love to sew humanitarian baby gowns. It is fun to embellish them and add kisses and hugs for sweet babies.
Wish I was making one of the skirts you have made, but I can’t decide which one I like the best!
I really want to make some cute aprons, if I can ever find the time.
I have a couple of projects in progress, making a three button jacket for a new baby girl at church and re-useable shopping bags from a thrifted sheet for door prizes at a class my professional organization is sponsoring.
I wish I was working on new pillows for the living room sofa. The ones I have now really need to be replaced!
I am working on pillow cases for craft hope right now, but I need to start on halloween costumes soon.

I am currently working on a new apron.
I am working on finishing some scrub tops for my husband. I really like making this pattern but I’ve made 5 in a row and I’m tired of it. I really want to be making a quilted table runner. It will be my first quilting project and I’m excited to try it! Thanks for the chance to win that awesome calendar!
I am a quilter and always have several WIPs. On my table a T-shirt quilt, a pillowcase, an apron, and several block of the months.
I’m making an elephant applique baby quilt…it’s my first time actually quilting a quilt…not just tying it. So, I’m loving the process and looking forward to finishing it! I would love to win this calendar! I definitely need some sewing inspiration….since I’m a new sewer! Thanks!!!!
The question is how much time do you have :) The short list is: hand quilting a quilt for my sister, sewing a dress for a friends 1 year old, and looking at starting a quilt along that I found here: http://www.ohfransson.com/oh_fransson/2010/08/tokyo-subway-map-quilt-basics-and-supplies.html
I wish I were working on the quilts I want to make for my little girl and soon to be baby boys room. Just haven’t been able to make up my mind about the fabric I want.
