Summer is here. It’s hot and muggy. Before we turned the air-conditioning on, I was so grateful to steal away to my cool studio (one of the very few perks to a basement studio.) I’m skipping Yarn Along this week because I have been sewing a lot more than knitting lately.
It has become increasingly difficult to spend time in my studio in the last year and a half. I’m blaming it mainly on the lack of natural light. But I’ve been forcing myself to spend time in there everyday, even if I’m just organize some things. If I got around to sewing something, all the better. Eventually, this immersion method of jump starting my sewing spunk has paid off. I started cutting and sewing make-up bags since I have a ton of 9″ zippers to use up. The goal is to make them all without having buy anything new. (Actually, that is a general sewing goal of mine—use up what I have. It’s a small room and quite cluttered.) Going through these piles of fabrics and trims is inspiring future projects as well.
How about you? What have you been stitching?
