All truths, no lies:
- I’ve lost my sew-jo since I wrapped up this baby blanket back in July. My first quilt was such a learning experience, both maddening and enlightening.
- A coworker let me borrow her very expensive and fancy Bernina for a couple months this summer and now I hate that my Pfaff feels less than in comparison.
- I feel self conscious posting to IG. Not the projects themselves but the quality of photos that come from my old iPhone/being a real person and not an influencer.
- I bought a serger back in January, am still intimidated, and have barely touched it. by @sewsaver

Sewed up a batch of cooling neck wraps for the @washmasks farmworkers initiative. Grateful for everything local farmers do to keep food on our tables and excited for a chance to give back 👨‍🌾🚜

In the midst of going rogue on a @sleepyhouse.studio Reef Quilt pillow kit a coworker gifted to me and turning it into a baby quilt for my friend’s newborn.

Part pattern, part my brain. My first attempt at quilting. Extra fabric from @seattlerecreative. ✂️ #wip #workinprogress #sewing #quilting #babyquilt by @sewsaver

You’ll be seeing more of this print because I found over five yards of Marrimeko for $5 total @bellasvoice 😮 Tried out @sotakhandmade’s free oven mitt pattern. #marrimekkolove #thrift #reuse #sewing by @sewsaver

Special bag for a special person. This gorgeous neon orange and purple floral vintage fabric is 😍. That came from @humanethrift, green lining and trim was a pillowcase from @bellasvoice, and ribbon from @ecathriftshop. by @sewsaver

Needed a way to carry my journal, my latest book (The Crone Zone), and a pen all in one bundle. Test run of the pen bookmark holder from @alohasewingcompany. Would add some interfacing to the pocket next time around to give it more structure.

Batch sewed these cutie patootie small… bowl things? They’ve been used as a can koozie, office desk paperclip holder, an outer pot for a small succulent, crystal bowl, etc. Also great for holding all those random sewing notions. Another good scrap buster project. by @sewsaver

This oversized daisy canvas tote bag was gifted to one of my best friends for her birthday. No pattern, all freestyle. Pretty proud of that inner pocket. by @sewsaver
