Check-In Post - February 27th 2025

Hello to all members, passers-by, curious onlookers, and shy lurkers, and welcome to our regular daily check-in post. Just leave a comment below to let us know how your current projects are progressing, or even if they're not.

Checking in is NOT compulsory, check in as often or as seldom as you want, this community isn't about pressure it's about encouragement, motivation, and support. Crafting is meant to be fun, and what's more fun than sharing achievements and seeing the wonderful things everyone else is creating?

There may also occasionally be questions, but again you don't have to answer them, they're just a way of getting to know each other a bit better.


This Week's Question: What kind of crafting supplies can you never resist buying?


If anyone has any questions of their own about the community, or suggestions for tags, questions to be asked on the check-in posts, or if anyone is interested in playing check-in host for a week here on the community, which would entail putting up the daily check-in posts and responding to comments, go to the Questions & Suggestions post and leave a comment.

I now declare this Check-In OPEN!

I have finished two more lavender sachets and glued on a felt appliqué to a third one; the only one that's already filled, or else I'd have sewn on the appliqué. But I refused to undo the whole sachet just because I got an idea concerning decoration.

[badly_knitted]

Sensible! It would be silly to undo something that was otherwise finished.

[darkcedars]

I wouldn't redo it either.

[peaceful_sands]

Well done - I look forward to seeing how things look when you're done.

[tielan]

Seems sensible. Why make more work for yourself? Although the applique sounds lovely, the undecorated sachet will still be eminently functional.

[wiseheart]

It isn’t undecorated. I’ve simply used textile glue to fix the appliqué. I just prefer sewing them on, so that they won’t come off and potentially endanger small children.

Way to go! How many sachets do you plan on making? I do love a pretty applique, no lies. One day I'll make something that is worthy of all the appliques I have collected and dragon'd over the years.

I’ve cut out the parts for 14 sachets. Half of them are ready to be filled. One of those is already filled. The final number depends on how much lavender can I get my grubby hands on… and how many textile scraps I might to unearth yet. 😉
