Sometimes I pick a project just to see if I can make it successfully. In this case another simple poncho. Just 2 rectangles (18 × 36) hemmed and sewn in two strategic places and there you have it. Yes it was an easy project, but there's nothing wrong with a little mindless sewing from time to time.
Thought I might as well finish up the yardage. No need of putting it back in the stash. There was still enough of this fabric left to make a nice big cozy blanket scarf.
Done. Weekend sewing is priceless...
Great usage of your fabric! I looove ponchos!
ReplyDeleteLove it, especially the scarf. Very Burberry.
ReplyDeleteThank you Bunny, I am such a scarf lover.!
DeleteI often get the most wear out of my easy makes. These are beautiful and great for this weather!
ReplyDeleteThank you Angela.
DeletePonchos are always in style! Ah yes, Bunny said what I was thinking: very Burberry on the scarf.
ReplyDeleteWeekend sewing is indeed divine; wish I could do it!
Weekend sewing is indeed divine, and I wish you could get some in too. I think you are right L ponchos do keep popping up. I just all of a sudden started liking them. And the scarf - I love. I am such a scarf person in the winter.
DeleteWhat lovely pieces...you had a very productive weekend.
ReplyDeleteHey Oz I've really been missing seeing you. Thank you.
DeleteMindless sewing to forget stresses and strains is wonderful - maybe it's "flow"to use that term. And I love your two gorgeous results.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sarah.
DeleteI love your poncho. I have a hankering to make a cape, in fact I've had it for a while. Seeing your lovely poncho makes me think that when the weather cools I might just get around to doing it!
ReplyDeleteThank you Carol. I'm sure you'll make a great cape.
DeleteLove your poncho, Faye. The fabric is gorgeous. I made one poncho too last day and love it very much :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Hana.

ReplyDeleteWow, nice job Ms. Faye! On both pieces, you showed your talent and yes there is absolutely nothing wrong with a little mindless sewing every now and then!
ReplyDeleteThank you Myra!
