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).

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-
