One Monthly Goal - November 2023 Completed

Continuing on the monthly goals of making bags, November continued with another ByAnnie Pattern in the same category of bags for myself.

ByAnnie Thread Dispenser Small Size in the Flat Book Style out of Tula Pink's Linework fabric line is 2023 Project 56 was completed in 5-hours and 33-minutes. The OMG goal proposal post was posted here as #13 on the link-up.

There are now 4 pieces in my Zebras Collection with the folded little book Thread Dispenser. I love this fabric and my homemade collection of sewing tools. It was such a lovely day outside here in Florida when I finished it that we went outside for photos:

I got so excited for this thread dispenser that I explained how it works to my husband and he said a video is needed to explain. So, I made a video on how to use it; you could see it on Instagram here. 

Within November, I also successfully completed the Standing Style Small Thread Dispenser using a different fabric in the Tula Pink Linework line. Standing Book Front:

I have resolved that I like to use bias binding on the ends of the zippers instead of straight binding due to the stripes in the binding fabric. I didn't like that design element on the Catch All Caddy and CallMe so adjusted for this Thread Dispenser and I'm so much happier.

Looking forward to continuing the bag journey and possibly getting back into quilting as we finish 2023 and head into 2024. Next year's QuiltFest entries are on my mind. 

What progress did you make in November?
