Friday Finish - Button Project Bag

I finished this zipper bag, with buttons on one side, and the bib from a cross country ski race on the other, and panda fabric on the inside. I already put inside the things I need for a new project I hope to start soon inside.

WIP/UFO Update Mid-year 2026

WIP/UFO End of the Year Update

I saw this in the window of a T-shirt Shop.  Luckily I never have to say that.

I last posted about my WIP/UFO's here. This is my latest update. I've taken out the finished projects and added the newly started ones. Bold titles show the ones I have worked on in 2023. My Summer One Thread a Week Challenge helped me make progress and even finish some things and take them off this list. I think I've had a good stitching year!
