I’ve been hit by a sewing bug. Don’t know when I was bitten but I’ve got it bad. It started innocently enough with the Halloween costumes and has now turned into a full blown disease of unsightly proportions.<\/p>\n
My sister told me about this online fabric place that sells “mystery bundles” and I got suckered into the first time buyer deal. Next to me sit 34 yards of various fabrics and I have no idea what to make. None. Even worse, I just found out that patterns tend to run 2 sizes bigger than store bought clothing so all the patterns I have are way, way too small. I flinch at the thought of buying a huge size 20+ pattern but that’s just reality I guess. So here I sit with tons of fabric and nothing to sew. Sigh.<\/p>\n
And did I mention my new serger? I succumed to a horrible impulse and bought a it from Amazon during a delirous stage of this disease. I’m not sure what exactly you use it for but I’ve seen lots of directions that say “serge” so I’m hoping it’ll be usefull. It also came to two DVD instructions and an obscenely large booklet. When, exactly, I’m going to find time to figure this thing out I’m not sure but it’s sitting next to my pile-o-fabric and eyeing me alarmingly..<\/p>\n
So that’s the state of things. I have all the machinery and fabric but no clue what, exactly, to sew. I’m thinking my only recourse is a trip to a fabric store which, I’m sure, will only lead to another large pile of sewing items to keep my already monstrous horde company.<\/p>\n
Sigh. Will I ever be cured of the strange disease????<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
