March TUSAL

Hosted by Daffycat, this fun not quite a SAL is all about ORTs (old ratty threads).  It is my favorite not quite a SAL because it reminds me of all that I have done (or haven't done) since last month's post.

After last month's post, I started my cutting all the fabric to make project bags project.  Fabric was cut, batting was cut, vinyl was cut and now the sewing is ongoing as I make anywhere from two to four project bags a day (Monday through Friday) and post them to my Etsy shop.  Since I don't have a contract right now I have the time and hope to make a little money to survive on until the next contract.


I had to smash this down twice to get everything to stay.  All the trimmings from everything I've cut and squared since starting the project.  There is so much in that bowl it's ridiculous. 


The MOM bowl by my sewing machine has so much stuff in it I'm surprised!  I don't think it's ever been this full!  I figure next month's post will show a much fuller bowl and hopefully I'll be done with the Project Bag Project.

And finally, my most wonderful ORT Jar.....


Sadly, that fluff on top is the ripping I did on BAM, which ended up being kind of a mute point since I changed fabric out due to a Sharpie marker incident....water under the bridge there....but gosh, Weaver's Bird SAL is in there, Ornament of the Month, 25 x 25, Poppy Project, Tapestry....quite a few bits of everything.  

There you have it!  All of the ORTs for this Totally Useless SAL!

Until next time.....KEEP ON STITCHIN'!

  1. WOW! That is a ton of sewing ORT's, the rest aren't bad either. Still have to take pictures of mine today. Quick question, if you don't mind? How do like selling on Etsy?
    Hugs, Sandy

    1. Thank you! The Project bag project is a biggie and I'm glad that's getting done.

      Selling on Etsy is alright, I have a very small store so it works well for me. I've talked to other sellers who have tons of stuff in their shops and they have complaints about fees and such associated with having so much because they run an actual business. For a small seller it's just right.

  2. Your ort bowl looks like the making is a rag garland. Also hopefully no more ripping on your stitching

    1. MOM means mother, ma, mama, etc :D My daughter made the MOM bowl for me years ago and I use that when I'm sewing.
