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!

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.
