Weekend crafting

I’ve been having one of those weekends that tend  to happen at the start of spring. The weather is warming up, I can turn the heat of and open up my windows, even if my toes are still freezing, and I get all sorts of inspired.

Now, if only I could get all sorts of organized and focused, things would be awesome. Instead, I jump from one project to another, unable to decide what I want to work on the most.

But, remember the mountain of fabric?

365.58 Fabric

I ironed it all down into a manageable amount.

365.62

See? I told you it didn’t look that big when I started.

365.63

I tok some of the blue and tan floral and made up a little wrap skirt. I’m not wild about how the waistband turned out, but overall I think it’s great. I also grabbed some of the green and purple and one of the bunny fabrics and started making a long hippie panel skirt. I got about halfway through that before deciding to take a break….I cut all the pieces out, at least, which is the hardest part.

Both of these projects are ones I’m working without a pattern. Eventually I do want to embarc up on the use of actual patterns but honestly, it scares me a little. Oh well, nothing I can do but jump in, I suppose!

  • My sewing machine taunts me from its place in the dining room. It smells my fear. :)

    They totally smell fear. I had been skulking around mine for a week or so.
    Waiting. Letting it learn who I am....like a skittish horse.
