Sewing projects and my new tentative love for shirting fabric
I pretty sure I am close to a decision about quitting the craft fair circuit (as a vendor) and returning to sewing for just me and mine. It’s WAY more fun, fruitful and fulfilling (3 of the 4 good F’s).
Projects that need doing:
- 3 new shirts for Jack with some recently purchased fabric.
- One shirt for Vim with raccoon on fire fabric
- Yoga mat bag for me
- underwear for me out of old t-shirts
- Do something, a drss probably) with the most awesome Love/Hate shirting fabric
- Make myself some shirts with various patterns purchased recently at a pattern sale.
- make myself a Sencha blouse
- large baby blanket for friend about to have baby
- baby blanket for niece who already had baby
- mabye try out making some simple doll clothes for Jack’s new doll
- make curtains for Jack’s daycare caregiver
various pairs of soft pants for jack out of old t-shirts

I asked my friend Shandelirous recently about what the deal with shirting fabric is. She told me it was made by elves and I believe her. It’s so nice feeling and so much better than the quilting cotton I usually buy. Quilting cotton is the usual fabric store fare so it’s what I am used to. But shirting fabric is so CRISP and thin. Besides lawn it’s my new favorite. I haven’t actually sewn with it yet, so we’ll see how that goes.
Other projects that need doing
- take jack hiking and birdwatching more
- think about my destash plan
- think about moving and packing
- stress about decorating theoretic new house
- think about building next round of craft fair application. Possibly my curent database set up is not working for me.
- anticipate Blogher in NY
- anticipate Conference of Creative Entrepreneurs in Seattle
- update the theme of this blog once and for all!
