A simple list of projects we want to tackle in 2015. The list is simple, the projects may be more exciting than we think knowing us.
– Lounge/sleep pants for our Norway cruise. We want to stay warm sitting on the balcony watching the world slip by right? Mostly for him but making matching, likely Disney themed, is not out of the question. Never tried sewing with fleece so this might be a good time to try.
– Rain slicker for the dog. The dog’s slicker is too small and does not have “mudflaps” aka undercarriage coverage nor is it really very water proof so new slicker. The dog hates to get wet, we hate to clean her up after her twice daily walks so win for everyone. I am thinking this will be more complicated than the sleep pants but she wont care if the sewing is akimbo just a bit.
– 20 some hair dodads to give as gifts on our cruise. I found the most amazing Mickey damask fabric for headbands or scarves. This should be pretty simple just a lot to sew.
– More table runners. Seems the one I made my sister is too short though it fits her TV stand. I think I will make some to coordinate with the seasonal napkins I made this past year.
– More napkins. I need spring and summer themed ones, very easy but can get mind numbing if I do a bunch at once.
– Cane bags. My sister wants a couple of bags for her folding cane so she can slip it in larger bags when not in use without getting grime on stuff. Should be pretty easy when she sends me the size she needs. Might make myself a couple as well to hang on the wheels when traveling.
– Modify my wheelchair seat covers. The ties did not work in some of the locations we put them, cut those off and find better ways of attaching.
– Blanket. Maybe look at creating a lighter but warmer/water repellant blanket for my legs while on wheels. Current blanket is too bulky and not water repellant. Norway is going to be hard on my body so every little thing helps.
Wow with all of this list done it’s more than I thought we had planned! Most of this is stuff to get done in the first few months of the year so I guess this weekend it’s time to pull back out the machine and get to work. Off to the fabric store…
