To give you an idea of scale, the bathmat is made of two hand towels sewn together. Hand towels. I had to make my own, obviously, because standard-size bathmats were way too big for the floor space.
And here's a scarf I made out of a long piece of linen, finishing the edges with my sister-in-law's serger. Once again this is a blatant copy of--I mean it's "inspired by"--something I saw online here.
(Also, see that stripey dress? I didn't make that. It came from a store, ready to wear. I'd almost forgotten that feeling.)

You have a gift with your sewing. I wish I knew how to sew. It is one of my goals after I finish the multitude of educational ones I have. I am nearly 40, so may never have a knack for sewing beautiful things, but I sure admire what you do!!!
Well thanks, AnnieC!
But as they say in novels, "Phsaw!"--Sewing's not really a TALENT, it's really just following instructions. If you can follow a recipe, you can learn to sew. The only trick is to be patient with yourself.
