i’m all over the place. so many things to do! but i have been really enjoying myself and loving my car windows rolled down as my hair flies around like madness and the sun streams all over me, it’s a happy place.
i sewed a skirt on sunday, from scratch. only had one small meltdown when i couldn’t pull the elastic thru the waist part thingy. i just scrunched up in a upright fetal position & said something to the effect of “can’t be easy, course not, cuz that would be easy!” big. fat. baby.
anyway. about 2 minutes later i grew up (insert my son walking in the kitchen to remind me that i am, in fact, a mother and need to act like one) & by golly! something clicked inside my whiny head & i got the elastic thru.
i am sooooooooooooo proud of this skirt. is it perfect? uh, notta. BUT! it’s way cute and i made it without a pattern. cuz i feel like if i start with patterns i might just end up having a ticker tape parade at the end of each sewing session.
so, getting used to my machine first. patterns (that remind me of mind boggling treasure maps), later.
i will post the skirt this week.
i don’t promise! but i will try.
xo
ps i will also give you the source of my instructions to how to make a skirt without a pattern. just in case you want to make your own! if i can do it with my short fuse for learning & bad eyesight, then hey, you can too!
