<\/a>My sewing alcove which doubles as my guest room. Everything sewing disappears into the huge trunk below the iron when guests\u00a0decide to stay.<\/p><\/div>\n

2017 started with busyness carved right into it. Days were dingy, long and never ending. Somehow I found myself at my sewing machine again in January, something I wasn’t going to do this winter.<\/p>\n
I tapped into my creative outlet and spun out a pajama pants and two aprons. The retro look for my daughter and the blue maid’s apron for myself. As if I don’t have enough of them.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I decided on the purple theme for my sewing alcove from this present (pictured below) I got for Christmas from my daughter when she was eight.<\/p>\n I remember it well, I caught a glimpse of my daughter sewing a button and stuffing fluff into this little pillow with her wee little fingers. She was so proud of her handiwork when she presented it to me on Christmas day. I saved it all these years. Once she even asked me what it was supposed to be. I said, “You tell me, you made it.” \u00a0I decided I’d use this pillow as a pin cushion and use it as a focal point to build my sewing nook. So far it looks good.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sewing a new apron just seems to make cooking in my comfy, cozy kitchen more enjoyable.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I have been YouTubing sewing lesson from my sewing alcove in my guest room. From one to three wonderfully, working sewing machines.<\/p>\n A Janome, Omega and a Singer with an overcast foot attached permanently to it. I discovered fire by learning\u00a0to use different sewing feet to get the job done right. My Omega came with twenty odd sewing feet. I also lucked out when a dear friend who downsized gifted me with her Janome, a whole lot of sewing feet and gardening tools.<\/p>\n Organizing the sewing feet in a ziplock bag, with names and usage makes it easier for an amateur sewer like me.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n
