My mom has also offered to give me one of her sewing machines, but I need to declutter some more (basically sell or donate the rest of our baby stuff, plus some generic tidying) to even have room for it. I also (in my case) would have to overcome a tendency to be overly critical of things I make. But a friend and I have been talking about making costumes together so that could be fin. I would be less picky about a costume I think. And kids clothes are nice because they are smaller.torthúilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738803052167620020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227945636407573872.post-2024984357188166272021-05-26T01:53:44.062-07:002021-05-26T01:53:44.062-07:00What a fun idea!

Would you consider getting a sowing machine and making dresses from scratch?dublinerinDeutschlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14804856792598440633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227945636407573872.post-90945783786649794482021-05-17T19:37:23.061-07:002021-05-17T19:37:23.061-07:00Thanks!

You were reading Treasure Island, right? ;-)<br /><br />I appreciate the encouragement to be creative since even though the ability is there, I tend to just aimlessly waste time too. Ditching facebook has actually helped me to spot myself on other ways too. But I do miss some stuff, including your updates and all the cool projects and homeschooling you are doing!! torthúilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738803052167620020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227945636407573872.post-42290325901240015532021-05-17T17:22:48.413-07:002021-05-17T17:22:48.413-07:00I love it!

It looks like a fun sewing project too, but unfortunately I don't think my boys would appreciate a lace insertion in their clothes :P <br />I am similar in needing creative projects these days. I've done all sorts of stuff to my house because I just have to have something on the go or else I struggle with my mental health (working in an MLA's office is not conducive to mental health these days). I miss seeing your posts on Facebook!Romyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07457852015567687445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227945636407573872.post-88691502704195024042021-05-12T20:16:11.504-07:002021-05-12T20:16:11.504-07:00Thanks!

But this was so satisfying.torthúilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738803052167620020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227945636407573872.post-10612818119899614652021-05-11T17:00:46.635-07:002021-05-11T17:00:46.635-07:00That's so cool!

What a crafty way to get more life out of the girls' dresses. And so pretty! Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15868505568965284742noreply@blogger.com
