I realized I never shared yet another swap I did, the It’s So Kawaii 2 swap on Instagram. The goal was to send cuteness and I had a lot of fun with it. My partner liked MINI Coopers, llamas, and fun colors.

I drew a little cartoon-y MINI and embroidered it onto a coffee cozy. I also made a llama mug rug and a little zipper pouch. I’ve had these lace zippers for months and have been really nervous to use them, but I finally bit the bullet and did it. It wasn’t the most amazing job, but it worked!

I have been wanting to do more paper piecing ever since I tried it out for my April TSNEM project. I bought this llama pattern, but felt that for it to be truly kawaii, it also needed a face.

I’m signed up for one more swap and it isn’t due until October, I kind of don’t know what to do with myself without the assignment of a swap. Maybe I’ll get a headstart on this year’s Christmas gifts!
