Tora has decided the fabric I folded and set on my work table yesterday was obviously placed there as a bed just for her. She’s been on it all day. It’s her new favorite snoozing spot. ❤️

Nothing Good
I’ve looked through all my sewing patterns, and absolutely not a one of them felt like something I wanted to make with that fabric I’ve got sitting on my work table. In fact, I’m so sick of all these patterns, that I think maybe I need to buy some new patterns. I think a lot of the problem is that I am not the same person I used to be, and my style (and what’s considered fashionable) have changed a lot since I bought any of the patterns I own. And so many of them would have to be sized up, and while I can do that, it’s just a huge hassle. I just want to sew something while I feel like sewing!
So I’m going to look at what’s new in sewing patterns. Maybe this ends with me buying some new patterns. Maybe it ends with me drafting some new patterns after getting some fresh ideas.
Easy Mode Day
Woke up this morning feeling super tired and having a headache. Looks like the perfect day to sit in front of an air conditioning vent and look through boxes of sewing patterns. Also, a great day for having some naps with the cats.
Surprise Find
This weekend while I was organizing some things, I rediscovered some cuts of cotton fabric I bought early in the pandemic. I have no idea what I planned to do with them, maybe masks? Who knows. It’s possible I had no plan at all and just liked them.
Anyway, there’s two yards of each, which is more than enough for some summer tops, or shorts, or even capri or clam digger style pants. So today, I cleaned up my workspace, and tomorrow I’m going to go through my #sewing patterns and see what strikes me as something I’d like to wear.
A Simple Distraction
Recently, I’ve been searching the house for a small mylar bag of specialized potting soil that I know exists in my life, and today that search continued. Alas, I found a shoebox filled with bits of wire and got a little distracted.
