ILX Sewing!

beautiful!

yeah points are hard to line up. I made a chevron face mask and it was crazy with the center seam and completely still off.

Ooh, lovely!

yes i did start quilting that but i really need to clean off my table so i didn't get very far

i hadn't been sewing much but now i remembered it's fun to finish things. i just finished a little storage box that will hopefully help me get the small things off my table. i started it a month ago but it would have only taken one day. except i try not to finish things in one day because i make mistakes if i work for too long. i am off today so i'm going to jo-ann to buy some interfacing to make some zipper pouches. i bought too much fabric over xmas lol.

nice! I too had a table clutter issue ... which I finally resolved by moving the clutter onto another surface. I have this cutting machine that I got with a groupon several years back, and I need to configure it with the laptop I bought last year ... the plan is to use it to cut out shapes which will become embroidery patterns for sweatshirts -- like a fire extinguisher and a traffic cone. That is the plan ... lol

yeah table clutter is the worst thing in this room. Table I do everything on is the main surface in this cluttered room so gathers more and more stuff accumulates unless I watch it.
So it takes me ages at times to get down to a point where i can get a garment started.
I woiuld probably hve doe a lot more last year if it wasn't for taht.
I did get some good stuff done but could have done more.

So far this year i have done one shirt minus the buttons and am about 1/3 of the way through another. & I'm trying to get one I all but did finished last year but it needs a new collar done and I can't find the pattern at the moment. Not feeling great so hope I'm not about to go down with something.

I want to start quilting again this spring. I moved my sewing machine out of my room when I started teaching remotely, because I needed the space to make a home office. So now it's on the third floor, which is an okay workspace but very cold. Once it warms up, I've got a bunch of quilts I'm somewhere in the middle of - one that just needs its border quilted and a binding, one that's just a quilt top with no border, and one that's halfway through the patchwork stage. My goal for this spring is to finish at least one of them, so I'm posting this here in hopes that I can hold myself to that.

maybe crosspost to knitting thread but i just got a year craftsy premium subscription for $2.49. just need to set a reminder to cancel it before they autobill me a year from now. ime the classes are pretty good. i did a knitting one several years ago and i became a way better knitter.

I got obsessed w knitting in college when I didn't actually know how to knit but thought I would learn, so I have a few books with socks and sweater patterns in them. I could send them to an interested party!

i would but i'm on an embargo from obtaining books and things in general so you will just have to learn to knit :)
