I pieced the squares for the third tier of the denim skirt I am making for my daughter today. A couple more 20-minute sewing sessions over the next few days should complete that project and moved it out of my sewing room and into my daughter’s dresser. Win, win!

I am only able to sew at the sewing machine while my older kids have quiet time in their rooms and my youngest naps because my youngest will grab everything within reach while he is awake. Tomorrow I have a book club in the afternoon so we don’t do our usual rest time. Because of that I need to choose a different project that I can work on at the kitchen counter for a little while in the morning.

I am making three fabric book covers for my aunt and I would like to make progress on those this week in addition to trying to finish the denim skirt. I am making the pattern myself as there are specific elements my aunt wants included, but they will be similar to this book cover style.

Tomorrow morning I will press the pre-washed fabric, start cutting the fabric, and see how much I can get done on this project. My 21-month old will be the big variable in how much time I can spend cutting fabric, but I will give it my best shot!
