Technically, I don't have a sewing table anymore. I sew at a small desk with just enough room for my machine. Really, this post should be titled "Sewing Projects I've Scattered Around My Apartment Wherever the Lighting is Best".
A few summer clothing items that need to be taken up a bit in the shoulders, including my new $15 Old Navy dress! I am guessing that I will see it on a lot of other people when the weather is warmer, but I don't care. It happens to meet my strict criteria for a casual summer dress (non-polyester, washable, and I can wear a normal bra with it).
Fabric for my One Yard Wonders submission. This is just a sneak peek. I want it to be a surprise, should my idea be chosen (people who want to submit project ideas, you have until April 15th!).
Fabric for some items I have cooked up for my Etsy shop, that is if I don't chicken out of listing them. I haven't put anything handmade in my shop for a looooong time. We'll see.
A pile of t-shirts to refashion. I recently helped my husband go through is clothes and weed out the things he doesn't wear. I have a pile of dress shirts to work with, too! I've never done much in the way of refashioning clothing, as I grew up as a very by-the-book sewist (thank you, 4-H). I've pinned a bunch of ideas on Pinterest, and have Natalie Chanin's Alabama Stitch Book on hold at the library. I hope to gather some ideas from that.
What's on your sewing table?
Hey Anna, it's Brooke!
ReplyDeleteYou might already visit this blog, but Refashion Co-op (http://refashionco-op.blogspot.com/) has a lot of great ideas for giving old clothes a new purpose.
