I am so thrilled with this project. I love how the linen turned out. I love the print, I love the colors. I love this pattern (Simplicity 2916, view D), and I think it will actually be really useful! Mom will probably think it needed some punch of color, but I love the muted, subdued tones. I NEED some calm in my life. Love you, Mom. I really do.

So, I had some bias tape leftover from this project, so I used it to finish ANOTHER PROJECT! Wow, a UFO actually FINISHED! This lovely little bucket has been sitting around for months now, because I really did not want to whipstitch the top together by hand. I hate handsewing. So what did I end up doing? sewing on bias tape by hand, because the interfacing is too stiff to fold around my sewing machine head. Le sigh.

The interior is recycled back pockets from some of my Dad’s old jeans. Second project finished in the past two weeks involving recycling pants. . ..
