June was a super productive month for me. I started off with altering a thrifted pair of Michael Kors leggings to fit me better, and turned a thrifted pair of British jeans into shorts for the summer.
I crocheted a bucket hat for fall out of thrifted yarn by following Secret Yarnery's video tutorial here.
My first mini quilt of June was made with crochet yarn and embroidery thread that I made myself out of twelve strand of sewing thread.
I repaired an old quilt that the dogs like so they can go on using it.
My second mini-quilt for June was a stitch practice piece, and also an attempt to save a bit of beautiful vintage tea towel embroidery.
I made a wall hanging quilt out of a vintage cross-stitched napkin and a $1.50 bag of fabric scraps I thrifted.
I cleaned and repaired two thrifted Vera Bradley bags.
For my third mini-quilt of June I used a fish I found attached to one of the thrifted Vera Bradley bags to create a little underwater scene.
I cleaned, embellished and repaired two more thrifted Vera Bradley bags.
I made two journal covers featuring 14carrot's lovely quilted jar tags.
I used another to embellish my fourth mini-quilt of June.
For hand stitching practice, I made a patchwork mat out of charm squares from my scraps bin and some satin ribbon (forgot how it ripples when it's hand stitched.)
I finished something I started back in May: turning a big piece of very repulsive glittery pink skull novelty fabric into thirty very useful yoyos, which I may use in my summer art quilt project.
