NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS

 I have always loved shopping in craft and fabric stores.

For some reason, I was also drawn to sewing patterns. Around 20 years ago I purchased a Singer sewing machine. Then, about 10 years ago, I purchased a Brother serger and did absolutely nothing with either one of them.

Five years ago I enrolled in a sewing class at a community college and selected a Vogue blouse pattern for my project.

Of course I did not finish the blouse, and for the life of me I can't figure out what I spent my time doing that held me back.

TODAY, I'm a sewing fool!

It just came across me to get up and sew. I started making toss pillows, then I made a dress

(and to my surprise it came out cute!).

Then, I made a top.

 

Now I'm on a pillowcase roll!

So I've been busy sewing!

My guilty pleasure is seeing the outcome of my creations, and delving into the calm and relaxation that sewing brings. It’s such a wind-down.

If you come home from work fit-to-be-tied, and in a tizzy, try sewing to soothe your nerves.
