It is hard work and often boring and I kind of hate it. And yet, if I don't do some making for a couple of days, I start to feel a bit twitchy. It could be anything - the other week it was sandcastles at the beach. Just like without exercise my body starts to feel a bit creaky (curse it).<br /><br />My machines and I have a relationship of respect forged in a battlezone. We're comrades, though, not friends. Nothing wrong with that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4540761711646097949.post-87786154857173613032014-01-22T18:33:36.746-06:002014-01-22T18:33:36.746-06:00L, you crack me up.

Past self would have bought it without much thought. But after all I've read and seen about armscyes and darts and such, my eye was drawn to those areas and it looked both ill-fitting and poorly sewn. So it went back to the track.<br /><br />Cute quick dresses. Since the knit probably wouldn't rip or fray too much, how about cutting two little slits, near and parallel to top edge, and treat them like armholes? If the hemmed edge can starch enough, it could be off the shoulder straps...Karinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03180639647099463491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4540761711646097949.post-73138325114883642652014-01-20T19:03:54.657-06:002014-01-20T19:03:54.657-06:00excellent both the love/hate sewing honesty and th...excellent both the love/hate sewing honesty and the whip up... sometimes that is exactly what i need to reaffirm why i have the scraps and reusables bin, why i even keep the machine out beyond mending and also why its ok if i dont touch it for four months straight.. eventually i'll get back to it with a bit of gusto.SarahInTheWoodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08083514077873739621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4540761711646097949.post-24932562405084709202014-01-19T11:09:40.082-06:002014-01-19T11:09:40.082-06:00ohhhh me he quedado sin palabras, bueno una si MAG...ohhhh me he quedado sin palabras, bueno una si MAGNIFICO <br /><br />BesitosssRemealsurdelsurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08685629602711151498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4540761711646097949.post-65007087947604396472014-01-19T11:07:58.320-06:002014-01-19T11:07:58.320-06:00Oh I thought I was the only one that felt this way...Oh I thought I was the only one that felt this way about sewing.

Just conceptualize and let someone else do all the work. But that isn't how it works, so I go through sewing spurts where I will catch up on all my ideas, and then get burnt out and swear it off for a time. Then I'll get another sewing idea itch that I have to scratch, and the cycle begins anew.lieselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15497043720940670407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4540761711646097949.post-71610245362977001142014-01-18T15:01:45.423-06:002014-01-18T15:01:45.423-06:00"How about you help me exorcise this stuffed ..."How about you help me exorcise this stuffed toy design from my head so I can breathe again and get on with my life" ... YES! This is creativity, exactly. Just how it is for me too! However, it's mainly with writing that this happens, and very very infrequently. :)<br /><br />I love your blog, BTW. I love that your stuff is inventive and original. And re-using materials in new ways is totally worth the effort it can take for the creativity to come out. Your results are definitely worth it for the rest of us. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4540761711646097949.post-51879732404367251682014-01-18T13:57:03.208-06:002014-01-18T13:57:03.208-06:00I meant to add that the dresses are really cute. :...I meant to add that the dresses are really cute. :) Done now.
