This is a new feature! Instead of being another one of those how-to blogs, I've decided to write a "teach me how-to".....?
So today, my chosen magical skill is sewing. I wish I could sew. And also, the word sew is kind of weird, considering it's pronounciation. Anyway... I totally wish I could sew stuff! I often walk through places like Bed Bath & Beyond and, when unable to find a shower curtain that meets my needs, throw out the "if only I could sew."
Here are a few more examples:
- Hemming pants. I can't buy regulars because they're too short, but sometimes the longs are ridiculously long! Hence my need.
- Taking in dress shirts for Brian - dude has XL shoulders and neck, with L arms and waist.
- Crafting pillows, curtains, other home decor. This craving surfaces quite often.
- Someday baby bedding - that stuff is ridiculously expensive for seemingly no reason.
- And on that note, some baby clothes! I'm not going to pretend that I could manage to sew clothes for myself, but making a little dress for a 2 year old is probably not that hard.
- Sewing leads well into other crafty things.
Wasn't that exciting? OK, maybe not.
I'm planning to take a community ed sewing class this summer (I got a sewing machine for my birthday last year with intentions to teach myself to sew. Well, obviously, that went well). Take the class with meeeee!
ReplyDeleteTraycina, I totally know what you mean. I love shopping the thrift store and am always looking at stuff like "That would be super cute if....." I wish I could do the IF part!
ReplyDeleteNote on beginning sewing projects:
No sewing heat fuse tape
It is the shizz, I am telling you. :)
