Mel Got her Groove Back! Easter Basket Sewing.

As usual this time of year, I take on way more than I plan too. I over extend myself and get all caught up in making sure everyone gets what they are asking for.  Every year I say I am not making these darn Easter Baskets, because they take up way too much of my time and energy.  I am participating in a few sew-a-longs and I would much rather be doing that than Easter Basket making.  Though I do enjoy seeing the smiles on the faces of those I make the baskets for, at the end of it all. 

 I am worn out.  Not to mention I have not even started on my own Easter outfit.  I always have a backup in the closet just in case.   I have a yellow suit that is my go too.  This suit is about 10 years old, but it’s a classic.   I can always pull it out and add a cute colorful cowl neck top and some cute pumps and it’s a hit.  But I would much rather wear something I have made. 

Here are a couple of baskets I finished up on the last couple of days.




 
 
Happy creating!

    The Easter baskets are soooo cute, especially the one with the bow tie. You did a fantastic job.

    These are sooo cute! No wonder you are exhausted.

    Hope you get time to get your Easter outfit made, but don't stress. Remember, the memories you're creating with those gorgeous baskets will stay with the recipients forever, whereas, I'm sure they'll never remember what outfit you wore.

    Oh so cute!! I wish I had thought of this for Easter for my daughter. I ended up making a Easter "tote" type bag.

      Hi. I remembered this bag from last year. If the offer still stands, I would like to have the pattern. I can make it for my daughter this Easter.
