This blog, if you can’t tell by the title, was originally meant to be a sewing blog. Unfortunately, because of my current body image and fit issues, I haven’t been sewing at all. I am hoping to change this soon. But in the meantime, take a look at:
WHAT I’M NOT SEWING
I am not sewing any of this fabric that I have painstakingly organized in this fabulous, ghetto shelving system (cardboard boxes):
I am not using any of these patterns (I have more; these are just the ones in my current size), to sew the above fabric:
I am not using these machines to sew the above fabric using the above patterns:
I am not using this “Wall of Inspiration” to inspire me:
I am not finishing these U.F.O.’s (unfinished objects, for the uninitiated):
I am not turning these jeans into a skirt:
I am still buying patterns:
(off subject – I got a signed copy of the latest Alexander McCall Smith book from Susan, it came the same day as these patterns from Vogue)I am still buying fabric, too, but there are no pictures.
So, hang in there with me and I promise to have at least one completed project before the summer is over!
Hope you are back to sewing soon!!!! I did love this post though lol.
I am in the same funk. Fit issues have stifled my sewing mojo. My friend Melody and I just got together to work on a bodice sloper with the hopes of perfecting its fit and returning to the machines. Don’t worry, sister-girl, you are not alone!
lol Cute post! Hopefully you get your mojo back soon!** My girlfriend in new orleans said the same thing abt bra shopping being in the air! lol Spring time
Sometimes I get like that too, so don’t worry about it! It helps me to look at magazines or pictures of runway creations to get me excited to finish a UFO. Hugs,Lory
Okay so maybe you’re not sewing but I know I can always get a good book review here and it keeps me coming back!BTW…I am cleaning Mountain Dew off my keyboard from laughing so hard at the “ghetto shelving unit” comment!
Can’t wait to see what you turn out!
Come on, Toni, and join the rest of us. Try a little knit top to get the Mojo in gear. lol Happy Sewing!
