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 β€” 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 β€” 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.?

nice

I had all ideas I would be a quilter, I am not πŸ˜‚. I've done a couple of mug rug swaps and mine were decidedly underwhelming compared to most. I am however a pajama pants and shorts maker and had I had a little girl probably a simple dress maker. I've made a few bags and have SO MUCH fabric. Mostly I make simple baby blankets and oversized burp cloths, I suck at sewing curves πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ. Enjoy your experience, and that fabric is a combo I'd go for purple instead of blue though πŸ˜†.
