In Stitches


I unpacked my sewing machine a few weeks ago to make a curtain for our first floor bathroom. I set the machine up in our bedroom and was actually able to get some serious sewing accomplished while the kids were home and awake! I was so pumped!

I used to do a lot of sewing before kids, but have never been able to leave my stuff set up because my peeps can't leave that kind of stuff alone. So I have hardly used my sewing machine over the past 6 years since it is so much work to get everything out every time that I want to make something no matter how small.

But I set up a table in our bedroom (1st floor master) and have been able to leave all of my stuff out without anyone "checking" it out and it has been 2 weeks! So now I am coming up with sewing projects in my head almost constantly!

Last week I used some old sleep sacks of Shane's and made the boys some winter face masks. I made up a pattern and they turned out decent....even if they look a bit Muslim when wearing them!
