Meetup: score!! And wows to C Sews

Before: nice fabrics that are Not my style. (Plus excess swim fabric just cause I have loads and why not share the love)
Not shown: dots in b/w colorway

After: fall wardrobe- L to R baby corduroy, wool, wool knit, and tasty linen 

Awesome. I'm so proud of how much smarter my fabric swap choices are. Last time I did this I took home piles of synthetic strangeness. Growth! 


Now back to my baby's hoodie and a grip of Myrtle dresses. 

Thanks so much to Chuleenan for killing it on g
roup organization! Congrats to Lindsay on her modified tiny pocket tank, happy bday to Meg and yayyy I got to meet Ebony! 

Bay Area Pride. 
Happy sewing!

Ps I wore my Polly top and it's too big- but a good stash buster!

i maybe just got tired of sewing

just momentarily. stitching up two cowl t's for the moms, i'm ready to get sparkly and untied from the machine. i will power through! only one hour til yoga, anyway

i'm writing today, though, because i've had this fabric in my stash since May and thought it was yucky poly blech (though why would i buy that? i wouldn't...). anyway, i washed it to just put it to work and IT TURNS OUT IT'S GORGEOUS.
go get some.

it's rayon + wool + lycra with a rich dark color and vaguely slubby but only enough so you know it's LUXE. i bet you could make flipping ANYTHING from this and it would be gorgeous. $5/yard, baby. i put it in the dryer. ha!

i have enough, so go buy em out!

ok love ya.
