It’s been a while

Sewjo was pretty much missing. Didn’t help that sewing bee came to an end and what amazing season it was! These made to measures were so incredible I almost woke my snoozing husband on the sofa when I was watching it… 

Just amazing….. make me wonder about my own abilities really. Not comparing coz we are all different and still learning but yeah I hoped to progress more but now. 

But instead I am super tired and unmotivated. 

Well as I was saying I don’t have constant sewing space and small kids and sewing bits don’t really mix. School holidays don’t help when I spend the day with troops and then trying to not to be overwhelmed by it all. My eldest is non verbal and little is having hard time being two… so it can be challenging. 

I didn’t even watch many of my favourite sewing YouTube people. But I did pick up some sewing magazine and was so inspired to do some of the patterns that came in but then I didn’t ready really them. And that too is unusual. 

But I am trying to when I got an email from lovely Kayleigh from lovely Fleur et Ours shop I had to get some goodies. She had a summer sale too. 

So I got a big remnant in that checkered fabric. I was thinking dress by mother convinced me to make trousers and maybe something for boys from left overs. Or maybe top and trousers into the fake jumpsuit. Or maybe Safiya dungarees ? The fabric with flowers was a mystery bundle with some surprise haberdashery in this case these lovely wooden buttons and matching thread. And I got Tauko after watching Fold Line talk about this. So happy days I feel more inspired. I also need to make more undies and fix my favourite pair of jeans. And I finally want to finish up all my unfinished things and toiles that I have cut out…. And maybe do some embroidery/cross stitch.
