You know you sew a lot when you can’t go shopping without thinking “I could make that just as well (or better) and for less!” I recently went shopping with my daughter and that thought kept coming into my head. Luckily, I was mostly interested in getting some shoes for myself. I did have some success, but still, I kept thinking, “too bad I can’t make my own shoes.”
I recently (today) finished Vogue 8774 for my daughter. Her 23rd birthday is this week so I really wanted to get them done. I hope to get her to model them for the blog so I can post those pictures along with a review.
But on our shopping excursion, I did get some needed sewing inspiration. The temperatures have really warmed up here, so I’m trying to plug some holes in my wardrobe and make some Spring/Summer outfits. I actually have several things planned. I just have to keep sewing so I can get them all done.
Shoes are about the only thing I really enjoy shopping for, clothes shopping is always a disappointment.
I agree!
Oh my gosh sometimes I think that statement is a curse!!!!! You can't possibly sew everything unless you have no other life!!! But your brain sure makes you think that! Still, I'll never give up sewing!
Sometimes it's hard to just buy something – LOL!
That's me all over – I think I can make EVERYTHING!
