Rotary Cutters

Well, Jojos had a sale, Olfa rotary cutting supplies 40% off. So I bought me some. I have never rotary cut anything in my life, unless pizza counts. I heard it is faster. Anything to speed up my slow-sewing.

I am soooo close to being finished with the blue skirt. The final fitting revealed that the waist needed to be taken in, the skirt pegged a little more and the darts may need a little work. So I did the waist and the pegging, then machine blind-hemmed it. Parts of that look a little funky. I'll fine-tune the hem and possibly the darts, give it a final pressing and be done!

Cozy Purple Pop of Color

Cozy purple throws for snuggling!  Adds some color  to the living room.  Thick fleece trimmed straight with rounded corners.  I tried some overcast stitches with my Juki however I couldn't get the look I wanted so I pulled out my serger. Gosh it's been, like 2 years since I used it but luckily it worked (I've had it for quite awhile but I'm still kinda afraid of it 😜).

Crafty Stirrings

My sewing stuff has been packed up for quite awhile and I miss it! It was packed up to make room for a season of extended visits by family which we have truly enjoyed so it was a worthy trade-off. Family visits will be done in a few weeks and in the meantime we decided that we'll be moving into a different house a few weeks later, so my sewing and craft things (other than sewing-related stuff I have just a few jewelry-making and scrap-booking supplies) will remain packed until it's arranged in our new abode. Focusing on family and transition decisions has taken up my mental space so it's just now, as I begin creating the vision of our next home I'm looking forward to having a sewing space again.
