I think we've established that quite a few of us are in a sewing rut... so I thought I'd share what I do when that happens.
First: I DON'T go looking for new ideas. How has scrolling and saving ever helped me? It just makes me feel worse - now my 'to sew list' is EVEN LONGER and I still haven't made anything 😩
STEP AWAY FROM SEWING INSTAGRAM - thank me later.
So what then?
🌟 I go back into my personal sewing archives and think about which projects were exactly what I love about sewing:
Something that's satisfying, useful, not too complicated but not just sewing two rectangles together, lets me use pretty fabric, and has a great end result.
That's why we're sewing it this month in the Creative Sewing Club.
You'll learn to sew in the round, work with interfacing, and because it has a drawstring instead of a zip, it's a really enjoyable project.
The pattern includes 4 sizes, so you can make all sorts of things - from an easy backpack to a carry bag for an exercise mat.
If you're tired of collecting patterns and fabric and never actually sewing, come and join us for this month's sew-along. ❤️
