sewing

It's 2am when I started typing this post.
I fell asleep around 130am.
I woke up at 230am last night and took my night meds.
Then I went back to my bed and... Couldn't sleep. So I've been awake since 230am. I can see sounds. The whole world is spinning. When I woke up I had one hell of a migraine and my hips were screaming. So I asked Pauley for a third of a gummy and a Norco. If I ask for the big one, that's usually all I need to say to explain how bad I feel.
I sat staring at a pile of new clothes we got from the sharing table here in the common room. One of the shirts I think is going to look amazing on her. Its so cute, I'll share a picture of how she looks when she puts it on. She's so cute.
I'm gonna try to get a few new hoodies. I'd really like to get one really big snuggly one or find a really big blankie and I can sew it up into a hoodie. I don't have experience sewing human clothes but I made some very nice outfits for some of the plushies I made years ago. I am actually pretty excited to start playing with fabric again.

It is now 231pm.

My Mum taught me to do counted cross stitch when I was about 12. I find it relaxing although it is so precise.
I am blessed to live in a 55+ community and this month I will be learning to make my first jelly roll quilt. I'm nervous on one hand and so excited on the other.

I found these butter-soft wide-leg jeans from GAP at Goodwill, but they were too small. Luckily, I had this pair of Adidas track pants that were the exact same length. With a little YouTube inspo- they’re my new favorite jeans! #sewing #MightyCrafts

So… I wanted these beautiful pleated palazzo pants from Bagdley Mischka, but they cost almost $500. 🙄 Nevertheless, my mind was stuck on them, so when I saw a pleated satin prom dress at Goodwill, inspiration struck! I made my own! Does anyone else like to repurpose vintage clothes and Goodwill finds?

While my collection wasn't able to walk the runway this year it was a huge motivator for me to push through my covid related anxiety. I drafted all the patterns, made the clothes, and directed the photo shoots. I'm very proud of myself and that I didn't feel like my Fibro or chronic fatigue held me back. 💪😁 #Fibromyalgia #ChronicFatigue #Fashion #sewing #Crafting
