School's Out! Sewing's In!

 


Hurrah! 

School is out!


Sewing is in!

Oh yes, I have a long to do list to get done around the house, but this is the summer of sewing! I picked up Miss Singer at the doctor's office (repair shop). She's tuned up and ready to hum her way through summer with me. I have a goal to do some kind of sewing, including mending, cutting, pinning, etc. every day this summer. The plan is to reopen my etsy shop at the end of summer. 

This week is a prep week since I'm starting on Tuesday. I'm planning to give the sewing room a good cleaning, and then organize my supplies and projects. It will be a bit of a job. I use the enclosed back porch for my sewing and office area. It gets messy over the winter with things tracked in. Regardless of how much I get done, sewing will start Monday. 

I've had several project ideas. One thing I will definitely sew is project bags for knitting, crochet, and needlework. I'm going to try some different styles and see what resonates. 

Do you have any sewing suggestions or tips for me?

Do you sew or have an etsy shop?

I'm looking for ideas and advice. My shop has been closed since before I found I had cancer. I sewed lots of masks during the plague and gave them away. I burned myself out. So, this is really a new start. That's appropriate. Sixty is a whole new decade. I've got lots of things I want to try.

Thank you for taking this trip through life with me. Many of you have been with me since my homeschooling days, and since my cancer days. I'm seven years out from my cancer diagnosis. It's hard to believe that much time has passed. I remember not knowing if I'd see another fall, another Christmas. God has been good to me. I am very thankful to keep living this life. 

Be blessed,

Laura

Please write to me. I'd really like to know what your thoughts are about all of this. If there's something you'd like to see me sew, let me know!
