I took out my sewing machine from the depths of a storage trunk a few weeks ago to hem a pair of pants and it's been on the dining table ever since. Once I actually use the energy to
retrieve it - I have a hard time packing it back up and storing it away again. So I was super happy that
domesticali started a
flickr group to share photos of items made from fellow
Brooklynite Lotta Jansdotter's book
simple sewing. I do have to admit that I am terrible at following/understanding directions - whether it's for sewing, crocheting, computer manuals or toy instructions...so this was inspired by the pictures in the book. I also visited Purl in
Soho and picked out the adorable tree & squirrel fabric. Thank god that I am not a quilter or I would have dropped some mad cash in that store. Since I started making fun felt decorated shirts for
Parker &
his friends, I've wanted to make something for myself so I was finally able to add a little felt applique that actually looks age appropriate :)
