- Today is the last day of January and in 25 days I will be in Seattle for the weekend! Yes!!!! This time I plan to spend some time sewing with Gaylen and fabric shopping in Seattle.
- In 11 days, TGIT comes back on and I can finally find out what happened to Annelise on HTGWM, what's going on with Olivia Pope and the Gladiators, but most importantly who the h*ll messed with Meredith on Gray's Anatomy - yes these are my personal friends and I don't care if you believe it or not.
- I used the last of my VISA gift card for a fabric purchase of ITY knits from Fabric Mart. I posted this picture to Instagram of the new fabrics ~
- Oh and I bought a couple of patterns too!
- So no more fabric purchases until I get to Puyallup and the Marcy Tilton booth where I can touch pieces for myself.
- I've decided to make another topper like the last one but with the adjustments I suggested using this fabric ~
- Toppers allow me to wear a "visible" me-made with RTW which helps me feel a little more like myself! Because it's gonna take years to get back to 90% of my wardrobe being me-made again.
- It was so cold last week that I was swathed in cashmere to keep warm, so glad the temperatures will be more moderate this week! Will be able to wear more me-made.
- The grandbabies were here most of the weekend so another reason no sewing was going on.
Hopefully when it calms down this weekend, I will get back into the sewing cave. There are a couple of things that I want to make before I head to Seattle, so I need some sewing time. Thank goodness for President's Day weekend!
Did you get to sew this weekend? I hope so!
...as always more later!
I hope you get a chance to hit District Fabric while you're here in Seattle, it's my favorite!
ReplyDeleteGrandbabies are a great reason to not sew. I don't have any yet, so I sewed this weekend.

This was on my SS15 sewing list. I hope to finish it by SS16.
I'm glad you're coming to Puyallup--and especially glad you'll have a little time to visit Seattle!
ReplyDeleteDoggone you and your fabricmart ravings! Or maybe thank you, I'm not sure which. Just went and made my first purchase online there and I guess I'll have to wait and see. I think they should give you some affiliate pay. I'm suggesting that if there's a place on their 5 dollar survey.
ReplyDeleteYou're too funny! However, I'm not the only one touting Fabric Mart's wonderfulness...there's a little group of Fabric Mart disciples spreading the good news! hahahahahaa!
DeleteI have always wanted to go to Puyallup - Lucky Girl! can't wait to see what fabric you find a the Marcy Tilton booth - again Lucky Girl!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping that I don't lose my mind...her booth was so amazing last year!
DeleteI will be at SewExpo on Thursday and will save the good stuff for your weekend visit! It's going to be a blast!
ReplyDeleteOnly Thursday? Not the weekend? Isn't this what happened last year too?
DeleteMy sister lives close to puyallup and we have never gone fabric shopping. She not a sewist and has no interest in it . On my next trip for a visit I will make that trip. Love the knits.
ReplyDeleteYou're going to Puyallup - lucky you! Have fun! I look forward to reading about your adventures over there.
ReplyDeleteWhat a delicious haul of fabrics and patterns! And that black and white for the topper has really great visual interest even before you see the little peek-a-boos of red. Totally craveworthy! Cindy, Creative Hormone Rush
