What I went to @joann_stores for vs. everything else I came home with. 🤷‍♀️ - I mean, I had exhibited some great self control, and then when I looked in the app and saw a REALLY good coupon, I just grabbed a *few* extra items. 💸💸💸 - #craft #craftsupplies #sewing #sewingsupplies #handmade #cricut #cricutinfusibleink #fabric #fabricremnants #coupons #joannsapp
So last night my husband played a charity gig in Fuquay-Varina, at the arts center. When he arrived yesterday he texted to let me know there were quilts. 😄 two of my favorite things, my husband playing guitar and beautiful quilts to see! - #quilts #fuquayvarinanc #fuquayvarina #fuquayvarinaartscenter #quilting #miniquilts #quiltersofinstagram #quiltingismytherapy #hexiequilt #spiralquilting #customquilting #machinequilting #longarmquilting
It’s here! It’s here! @uppercasemag received enough requests to reprint this beautiful book for those of us who weren’t proactive enough to buy the first edition! I’m so excited and in love! #feedsack #feedsackfabric #feedsackquilt #quilting #quiltingfabric #vintage #vintagefabric #heirloomquilts #hamdmadecrafts #farmlife
So I learned a lot in this 4 day journey of sewing a super hero jumpsuit. Starting with, pay attention to the pattern and how much stretch is required of your fabric. 😳 - I chose a stretchy knit for this costume because I liked the darker colors. It wasn’t until I got halfway with assembling it and realized the waist is a gooooood 3 inches too small that I noticed the section on the back of the pattern with the crosswise stretch scale. Lesson learned!! - I’ve also learned that curved princess seams look hard and are tricky, but I’m a lot better at them than I thought I’d be. And, look at those matched seams! None of my quilts have points that look so perfect! - One of the harder lessons of this project was learning to be resourceful for myself. My mother has been gone over 5 years, but this project still had me thinking “I should just call momma and see what she would do”. Five years and I still think she’s just a phone call away. But even so, I don’t need to call her to hear her say in my head “zippers are a pain!” - So even if this costume was a bust, I still learned a lot and I’m kinda proud I took the risk. I think I’ll eventually finish putting it together even though it won’t fit me just in the event it’ll fit someone else one day. 😂 And feeling emboldened, I bought 5 patterns from McCall’s this morning. Maybe I can sew clothes after all. - #sewing #halloweencostume #captainmarvel #sewingfail #cosplayfail #cosplay #mccallspatterns #sewingclothes #seamstress #tailoredclothes #clothessewing #sticktoquilting #princessseams #zipperssuck #sewingzippers
Cosplaying is not for the faint of heart. But I have this kree star to show for my efforts tonight, even if I abandoned 3 projects prior to this one... #halloween #captainmarvel #cosplay #captainmarvelcosplay #ishouldsticktoquilting
