Cutting Out Binge...Lots of Projects Piling Up...

I don't care much for cutting - I know I have said that before....this is my current batch of projects to work on - cutting first. Among them is my wall hanging - the ubiquitous project I have been stitching on on and off for several years now, but there is a quilt cut out, and pot holders and a pin cushion so far as well as a few dolly outfits...still at it today as you can see.
 

After all the cutting I think I will have projects for sewing on all my machines until next year. No kidding! :) And I know there is a pattern I need to print out to cut still...and I want that cut out by next week. I bought the Korean Hanbok dress pattern for 18" doll designed by Doll Tag doll clothes. Such a good designer. 

I want to make that sometime very soon. I will comb my Asian fabric collection for the right design for this. Will be making it in cotton though. If I do it correctly I may buy silk to do another Hanbok and another Cheongsam doll dress as well. Both my patterns for these are from Doll Tag via Pixie Faire

Among my projects all cut out so far is my little dress for my Betsy McCalls tiny doll.  I have a stand for her so need that dress! :) 

Also, I have some ideas for that Simplicity 8714 pretty long dress. So we'll see. :)

There is nothing like "fun projects". Ah, a Betsy McCall doll. I had the paper doll version from the magazine (whenever my mother would buy those issues).

You've got your work cut out for you. Well, you will have...as soon as you cut them out. LOL.

Thanks for the funny words!!! Yes, I too had Betsy from the magazine every month and loved her so much paper dolls were the best fun! This little dolly was a present from an old family friend. Has nostalgic content. I have her little dress cut out in the project bin waiting!
