New addition to my VSM family! Needs a new drive pulley, already on order, and it's missing the accessory box with accessories. I think I'm in love! 💚💚💚

I've updated my LinkTree with a handful of free springtime projects including these cute fabric berry baskets. Quick to sew and they make great gifts! Find the link 🔝 in the profile.

Monday's lesson in the new Artistic Sewing Machine Techniques class at Evanston Art Center is making scrap fabric with wash-away stabilizer. I was just stacking the samples for class when the sun lit them up from the back, and dude, they look amazing! Can't wait to teach this technique!

Fooling around with transparency designs on graph paper. Looks different IRL.

Made this quilt in response to the events of 2020, still seems very relevant today.

Apparently one night last week I couldn't sleep and spent some time browsing the CPL app, because this whole stack was waiting for me at the library today. 😳😬📚📚📚

Always wanted a red denim jacket! Thrifted a worn jacket for 7 bucks, over dyed it with a dark red hue, and replaced the buttons. It's a funky color but I like it!

One of two things just happened. Out water heater broke this morning, or my partner of 20 years managed to use up 40 gallons of hot water before his wife attempted to start her day with a hot shower.

Sew strips of fabric into tubes, press them flat, and fold them into little stars for holiday decorations. Find the free tutorial at the LinkTree in my profile.

Good Friday the 13th morning. I got up early, showered, dressed, breakfasted, and got back in bed - same as my cats. 😺
