Sewing progress

[kate_schaefer]

In the past three weeks, I have completed four sewing projects without buying new fabric for any of them. By my own private fabric-buying rule, I should now be allowed to buy four new pieces of fabric, but I am not going to do so. Instead, I am going on to a fifth project made entirely from fabric I already own.

Two of those projects were making garments from start to finish in a short time. One was finishing a project I had started and abandoned nearly a year ago; the fourth was just adding pockets to a purchased garment, improving both the utility and the appearance of that garment.

Funny, I just signed up for sewing lessons! I haven't sewn a thing for decades and I thought I'd better brush up. I have NO STASH. Our first project is going to be an apron, apparently. I have no use for little aprons, so I'll buy some cheap fabric to practice on. Our second project will be a zippered purse, which could be fun. I wonder if I remember how to thread my machine?
