Its official I have done a few hours of sewing today, which I believe qualifies me officially breaking my sewing hiatus.
I have spent quite a few weekends tidying my sewing room, emptying boxes and trying to find new, more organised homes for my sewing and haberdashery items.
So here are a few snap shots of my room now - nothing fancy but it will work for now - my dream is to have fitted cupboards but I will have to wait a while for that.
So what did I sew? Well just before my wedding last May, my daughter gave birth to a beautiful little girl. I made a start on a quilt for her, but sadly between getting married, moving house, honeymoon, Christmas etc., and not really being able to get into my sewing room, I just hadn't got round to finishing it.
So today I managed to complete all the squares which are now ready to be pieced together, but I want to piece them with black, a colour I have used before, but don't think I have enough, so I may have to purchase some more.
Still Rome wasn't built in a day, and at least I have made a start. Can you believe that what came as 2nd nature to me, today had me really thinking about it. This was simple things like refilling the bobbin, and cleaning the dust from the feed dogs.............. lol has it really been that long?????
I knew where everything was in my old sewing room, and although things are tidier here, I can't just lay my hands on what I want, but hopefully I'll get more familiar with my new surroundings soon.
I hope you are all having fun.
Catch you later.................................
So glad you're "back", Pauline...I've missed your posts!
ReplyDeleteIt does take a while to learn where the new hiding places are but I'm sure as you spend more and more time in your sewing room, it will become second nature. Glad you got a chance to sew again.
ReplyDeleteGlad to have you back. It does take time to find things when you set up a new sewing room. But it soon becomes your old sewing room and you can put your hands on everything.
ReplyDeleteGreat to have you back. You do have a bright, large space to sew in, all your own. I know it will just get more wonderful as time goes on. The quilt will be quite striking with it's black contrast.
ReplyDeleteHooray for sewing!

ReplyDeleteForgot one thing, welcome back :)
ReplyDeleteI feel like humming a few bars of that 1970s Peters and Lee song, 'Welcome Home'! You'll be back to normal productivity in no time, especially with spring around the corner.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back! Enjoy getting used to your new sewing space - it looks like a lovely room, especially with the window in front of the machine.
