Spinalcat's Crafty Adventures

Fit(ness) capsule challenge in the Greenstyle Creations Facebook group just ended. We had 1 month to sew at least 3 coordinating pieces of workout clothing. Super G capris with color blocking from Strides pattern, Solo tank, and Power Sports Bra (bra made before official start of challenge). Galaxy print swim fabric and purple burnout jersey from Cali Fabrics. Supplex from Fabric Fairy. This is a lighter weight very stretchy Supplex. The Solo tank came out perfectly...this was my first time doing binding. My coverstich machine handled the Solo binding and the decorative stitching on the capris really well. More Strides/Super G mash up capris (this time with pockets), petal back Xpress tank, No Show Thong. Supplex from Phee. This is a much heavier Supplex. YSS print accent from Zenith & Quasar. Circular knit from Phee for tank and thong. This is a light weight circular knit and I had some problems hemming it. Like, a lot of problems. My coverstich machine hated goin...

I got some more pillows and cases from IKEA since making the cases myself isn't really that satisfying, lol. Decorated with glitter and regular HTV. I can't remember if this is a Cricut Design Space design or from loveSVG.com Alpaca design from loveSVG.com. This turned out so cute! I got a Cricut Easy Press 2 for Christmas and it's been great. I'd been using a household iron, and this is bigger and heats more evenly. The instructions call for a long time with less pressure (with Cricut brand HTV), but I've been using Siser's recommendation of following their instructions for regular heat presses (perhaps rounding up on the temp). Cookies and paper boxes. This is the "glitzy' glitter cardstock from Michael's that doesn't shed glitter and leave a mess on the Cricut mat. I modified the existing Christmas/Halloween treat box designs to have Valentine's images on top. The file is here-
