A successful week sewing

So I haven't been sewing much in the past few months... but got back on track this week.

UFO Update:  I finished 5 boxes for teachers gifts and mostly completing the June UFO challenge!  I had enough squares to make 6 boxes, but only needed 5 this year.  So I have one partially completed... so have a new UFO, but it is much closer to being finished....  and all my teacher fabric blocks are sewn up!








I also made two mug rugs for 2 of the teachers who are retiring...

Highland Dance Costumes:  And I started on my daughters Jig costume for Highland Dance.  I finished the apron for her costume.  I went to start the skirt and realized making a circle skirt out of 44" wide fabric wasn't going to be as easy as I'd hoped... I'll need to cut both a front & back, in both the outer and inner fabrics...  Waistband is done for the skirt, just need to cut out and sew the rest!  And I think I'll make her a red velvet cumberbund.
