Finishing an old sample that I got from someone or maybe I bought it myself…
So good. I’m really enjoying this type of tea a lot. Its nice without anything added, which means I don’t have to worry about cleaning my travel mugs. :)
I brought this to volunteering today, and I’m going to credit it with the magic charm of snagging me all the wool and all the linen. Seriously. All of it. 2 LARGE bags of scraps, plus 12 pieces that are probably all 3m+ each. Plus I got more on Thursday. So now I have to wash/dryclean all the fabrics, and then make all the clothes and costumes…

Ugh, I bought a whole bag of this back in January and haven’t even opened it yet, and it’s over 100km away. Tsk tsk.
You’re sure a busy bee, you little seamstress!
You need to rescue your tea! :)
Oh, mostly I had no nice clothes left. I make things in bursts, then wear it till it wears out then start sewing again. Haha. But hopefully I’ll be able to make enough stuff now that I won’t have to worry about costumes for aeons, and I’ll have more office appropriate clothes to last a long time.
That’s awesome! I’m too lazy to learn how to sew haha. But would that ever be a handy skill to know.
For me it’s also a type of relaxation, or art. And I get something out of it that fits, which is great. I’ve been sewing a LONG time now (Oh gods, like 20 years) so I’m pretty comfortable making a lot of things now. :) Some of the fabric I have might become a suit jacket. I want a riding style jacket SO BAD, but nothing ever fits because I’m so short waisted and narrow across the upper back. I’m kinda excited. One of a cotton to test whatever pattern I end up with, and then one of black wool twill, and then one of plaid, etc. :D :D
Oh, those fabrics sound awesome for a suit jacket, especially the twill and plaid. I’d love to see pictures when you finish the project! I wish I had the means and know-how to at least alter some of the clothes I already have. One of the blouses I bought last year specifically for interviews, and has never been worn until now because of crazy events, is now too big on me so it’s one of those situations where I’d like to make it smaller but can’t, but don’t want to get rid of it either since I paid quite a bit for it.
:) Yeah, altering clothing is a whole other ballgame. There are lots of tutorials online, though! That’s how I get through a lot of technique things. “Someone must have posted a tutorial…” and sure enough, there are always lots to choose from!
That’s true! But I’m too lazy to get a sewing machine, or even try by hand. I’m sure it takes up a lot of your spare time. I’d rather use that for other things haha.
