Been on a quilting kick lately so I made these little back-of-the-chair quilts for some friends. They like birds. 😅 Explored some new techniques like paper foundation piecing! All the blocks were available for free somewhere online but I otherwise planned it out myself on graph paper.
Can’t stop thinking about how the back side of embroidered words always looks like a long forgotten alien language
There is something very depressing to me about the rise of game stores that are just undecorated little rooms with folding tables and which only sell trading cards. They feel like supervised injection sites for card game addicts
Tried out a new kind of mending patch for knits! You just… knit a patch right over the hole. I think it turned out quite well, and I hope it holds up well. Very quick to do!
Okay well I managed to get all the pleats basted! Now I can continue with installing the zipper, hemming, etc. Feels like it took forever though 😭
Of course when I started I did not realize that I should hand baste all 31 pleats… 😭 It is a simple project but NOT a fast one.
Thought I would try to get through some sewing block issues by doing a simple project and decided to make a long pleated wool skirt. I wouldn’t even need a pattern! And I even had this great spruce green wool twill fabric I got for $20 at a thrift store!
