[Kanga]

At long last my sewing machine is free from the box! So now I should be able to get my swap gift done today! If I can find the thread etc of course!

[Kanga]

And now the first part is finished! Woohoo!

[ToothFairy]

Still don't know what I'm doing but I have full confidence that I'll get something done ... But this week is a huge week for work for me and I'll think about it next week.

Me too

[Turtle'sMammy]

I'm done. I think I'm done. Despite sewing machine troubles. So there are some wibbly bits, but I serged the rest, so it should hold up :s

<makes note to look out for serged bits>

Serged bits are internal/invisible. Na, na, na, na, na,
Wonky machine stitching is not

[Kanga]

Aaaaand.........I'm done!

So looking out for something double layered or with a lining... And sewn.

I have finally hit an idea that I can't get out of my head - that's the sign I need that it is 'the one'. Now I have to gather together everything I need to make it (40% already sorted).

May need to make 2 as I want one too!

[BadgersMommy]

Finally moving along on mine -- I figure I have about 10 more days, so I should be fine <huge sigh of relief>. That said, I keep thinking of ways it could be better...

Everything could always be better.
At least you not n,y know what to do but have started doing it!

[Eli]

Finally getting somewhere and will hopefully finish today! Currently working on final element to pull it together. I'm really pleased with how its working out, was really worried for a while in the middle!

[Jelly Belly]

It's nearly done! I have one final bit to add (which only arrived in today's post) and then all I need to do is wrap, pack and post. Feeling very smug considering it took me soooooo long to decide and then I had to learn (a bit) about a whole new craft to make it!

[Fullhouse]

I've got the easy bit of mine done - although the amount of whinging I've done on here you wouldn't think it was simple! Anyway, next stage, got to wing it a bit but once I've got it right I'll know.

[Eli]

I succeeded, despite feeling like crashing earlier and going to bed at 8pm (when is this baby going to stop making me exhausted in the evening and then wake me up repatedly before the crack of dawn? Argh)I was determined to finish it today so I can feel like I've achieved something positive this week thats for me not 'work'. It came out even better (though totally different) to my first imaginings, just panicking now that recipient may not like it. Her answers whilst probably very exact from her point of view muddled me no end. I have a very skewed idea of different styles, comes of growing up in a world where funky, gothic, folksy etc were all just normal so I have no idea what other people mean by them!

[vale]

Well the good news is I've started and finished my swop gift in one sitting. The bad news is I have just re-read swappee's likes and it features three of the things she doesn't like! How did I miss that? Well at least there's just under a fortnight to go

[FlossiesMum]

Done! After a bit of a mad panic as realised that if I went into labour I'd struggle to get any crafting done for a few days and that therefore 10-ish days to go wasn't really 10 days crafting time....
