Tackle It Tuesday – Ready to Sew

posted in sewing |

Tackle It Tuesday Meme
 
Over the weekend I finally was inspired to begin sewing again. It’s been several months and I just couldn’t seem to find the desire to sew. Saturday, for some reason, everything changed and I wound up spending the weekend creating a tote bag that I’m very proud of. More on that and photos to follow.Today though, I decided to tackle my loss of job blues by starting on some holiday sewing projects. First, I had to clean up my sewing table.

After cleaning up, I laid out my “12 Days of Christmas” project book and fabric and I’m ready to start cutting the pieces.

And, hopefully, I will end up with this as a final product.

    I just cleaned out my scraps stash and it was HEARTBREAKING. I’d love to start some new projects, but we’ve got to move at the end of the month. :(

    Jamie – I know what you mean, it’s so hard getting rid of even the smallest scrap! I end up giving them to my mom who I just know is using them for something! :-D

    Duni – Yes it is from Nancy Halverson! I love her stuff too. I’m also working on a quilt block of the month from her called “Beattitudes” that I love. I haven’t progressed to far on that one, but I’ll get there!
