Stitching and DeStashing--Week 10, 2021

The majority of my sewing time last week was not spent quilting, but I was using quilt fabrics. I made a pair of pj shorts as a birthday gift for my guy (he loves hot peppers.) The hem is pinned up until we can check the length.

The other items made from quilting fabrics were two bags for grocery shopping. We used to have several of these that I had made, but someone walked off with our cart at the store several months ago. We never did find the person, our cart, or the bags that had been in the bottom of the cart.

There was a little bit of quilting done too--I used 1.25 yards for the 25 Kaleidoscope blocks I made from my 30's reproductions. You can see those in yesterday's post.

The amounts of fabric used were 1-5/8 yards for the shorts, 7/8 yard for each of the grocery bags, and 1-1/4 yards for the Kaleidoscope blocks. Total used was 4-5/8 yards, and no new fabric was added to the stash.
