Today will be my second #sewing lesson!

I’ve been meaning to learn to sew for years, and with the help of two good friends — one who makes amazing clothes and sent me a collection of YouTube videos that helped her teach herself, and another who is actually teaching me in class form — I think I have a shot at becoming proficient in yet another expensive, stash-encouraging, but useful hobby 🤣

Pictured are fabrics we might get around to cutting today to make a pillowcase on lesson 3. My love of rainbows and metallic gold are in full evidence 🤣

One of the videos my friend sent says I should spend some time thinking about my style. I really should try to figure it out, because from a color palette standpoint alone, we’re talking wildly disparate stuff here. On the one hand, earth tones, nature vibes, and on the other hand… this 🤣

Today I should be making a drawstring bag out of material my teacher has. 🤞

We have so many fiber artists here; any sewists / tailors / quilters / embroiderers / etc.?
