September Craft Along - Week One!

I'm going to do mine with all different colours, so when I post pictures, it will be easier to show what to do next.

Great idea, but I would never use them and don't think I would use them as a money pouch either, will have to put my thinking cap on and figure out someway to use them!

I have a question!
We just pulled out several wine glasses and they are all half the size of the smallest saucer.... so how much is just a little bigger?

You'll be doing a seam around one circle, approx. 1/4 inch, so you want your template to be bigger than the base, but accomodate for the seam. You also don't want the coaster to be too tight around the wine stem base. Does that make sense?

Yes that helps me determine how to make the template without a saucer for a template.

You just don't want the seam to be too close to the edge of the base, so I would guess about an inch or so bigger than the wine glass base.

I was going to jump right on this after work.... however, I thought I was going to be home 4 hours ago! I am going to take a quick break from everything, have a chat with God, then figure out the rest of my day.

That's okay, Dawn. I had a good conversation with Him, too, mainly asking why James didn't tell me he needed black socks until ten that night. Thank goodness he had an old pair that he could wear.

took me some time to find this post this morning. I am trying to locate something I can use for a template since the saucers are too darn big. Although I told hubby this was the ultimate proof that my wine glasses are too darn small

Ok ready for the next step
I am making 4 this round. I want to make more in Christmas fabric but that stash is eluding me at the moment so I went with the stack of reds I want to use to make placemats for Thanksgiving. The wine glass coasters are going to be used on the wine glass candle holders I am planning on using for the centerpiece. This is all working out perfectly! I will even have an extra to use as a charm coaster in the event of a get together with friends

I'll post later on today. I have to go looking for gym shorts for James; they need plain black or dark blue shorts that have no stripes. Where am I going to find those?

Walmart has some. Not sure if you have one near you but I saw them there yesterday or was it Monday?

I have to work the late shift tonight and the early shift tomorrow. The new girl is not suppose to be back until Thursday and to be honest, I am not really expecting her to last the rest of the week....
WAIT A MINUTE!!! I am OFF tomorrow!!! I can work on this in the morning

I've posted new instructions in the first post.

Hey I am home early! Now to find someone to yell the instructions to me while I am upstairs

Just take one set with you to the computer.

Thought about that but the oncoming cold front has my arthritis acting up so I am not taking too many trips up and down the stairs. BUT I got a victim helper to read for me

Ok, done and ready for more! giggles!

I tried Walmart, but they only had large and extra large. I got one pair at Old Navy, and then got two at a sports store. They were twice the price, but it was buy one, get one free, so now he's got three pairs for the semester. Hopefully, if he doesn't get too big, they'll fit next summer.

Posting the last of the directions now.

UGH, sorry about the shorts. But at least you found a sale.
Thanks for the directions. Going to finish them out now.

this looks doable for Christmas!

One set of four completed and even finished up a quilted potholder while I was at the sewing machine
Lisa, this was cool! Looks sooo difficult yet was super easy! Can;lt wait to see next weeks item!

Thanks, Dawn! Oops! I should have posted materials. I'll have to figure out something quick and easy for the crochet.

Oh goodie a crochet one! I may be able to join in on that one too

Okay, Spoiler Alert; I was thinking about the Tree of Life pendant for beadings, the ruffle scarf knitted (the one you're doing) and a Knifty Knitter boa for knitting, and a hat for crochet.

COOL!!! I will be in for all of them, although the beading one will have to be at a later date because I do not have supplies. However, they all sound like you peaked at my Christmas To Do list!!

I don't even have the supplies for the beaded one, so that will be last.
