I’m done, too! Yay! :)
Continuing sewing talk from Garden Thread:
My late aunt was an excellent, prolific sewer - she made all sorts of things for her church’s Holiday Bazaar. She did hot pads, made tops for towels so you could hang them (using a pot holder), made little tea bag holders, many clever ideas. Her husband asked if I wanted her sewing machine - pretty fancy one with ‘cartridges’ or something like that for fancy stitches. I took it - used to sew clothes when I was a teenager, but on a very simple machine. Every now & again, I need a machine & there are a few things I’d like to make so maybe one of these days, I’ll take the time to figure her machine out ... at the moment, I also have no place to set it up so that’s probably the biggest issue.
I saw this recently - I love the reindeer treat bag on page two ...

My niece is sewing a few things ... I sent her this one last year ... the “right” fabric really makes the ornament:
