I love it when I leave my sewing machine set up for a finished project, it makes repairs that much faster.

When the outdoors is as hot as a clothes dryer, we line dry all the things.

I’m really getting into ironing. Sometimes I even combine it with paper cutting and seam ripping for a mixed-media project and end up with a dress.

Blocked a cardigan front that someone mistook as a scarf with very good reason and am relieved to discover it is actually a cardigan front.

Slow fashion but also start mending the frayed cuff of your sweater half an hour before you need to wear it

Me: Mending this 1-inch break in my sweater’s shoulder seam will take forever!
Me, 3 months later: *completes entire repair in 3 minutes*
🤦🏻‍♀️

The world is on fire and I am blow-drying a stuffed mouse.
