Yes, you CAN build the sewing table of your dreams

Yes, you CAN build the sewing table of your dreams! 🔨
💙
There are many plans (free and paid) out there on the interwebs for building your own sewing table.
💙
This lil' checklist can help you evaluate those table options so you get the right one for your unique sewing practice. 👏😊
💙
Aaannnddd... should you want even more insight on choosing a plan for a DIY sewing table, you're invited to La Blog (link in bio) to check out the full article: "Sewing Table DIY: How to Choose the Right Plan."
💙
Would you dare to build a sewing table? Or does your drive to make stop at sewing fab clothes? (No shade if it does - I didn't make my own sewing table, and I don't regret my decision.)

When was the last time you went to @joann_stores to just have a wander?
💙
I had a goal-less wander around Joann recently, and I wanted to share with you some fabric that caught my eye.
💙
Pic 1: A faux orange sherpa situation. This rainbow plaid looks SO MUCH LIKE @robertkaufman Mammoth flannel in the Durango colorway (which I know because I sewed a dress in it). This fabric had a high squish factor.
💙
Pic 2: Mushroom flannel. Lots of mushrooms at JA overall. I love this print and wanted to buy a couple of yards only for the purpose of sewing pajama pants. I'm basic.
💙
Pic 3: Moth flannel. This captured my attention because it reminded me of a @tulapink print. (In case you don't know Tula Pink designs fabric primarily for quilting.) Anyhoo, check out Pink's "De La Luna" collection to see the moth-y-ness.
💙
Which fabric is your fave? Have you spotted anything cool at Joann lately?

Hi, when was the last time you took pictures of yourself in your unmentionables?

WAIT, DON'T SCROLL AWAY, PLEASE!

I'll go first. It was less than a month ago, and it was for a good cause - to create a personalized croqui (body outline) for testing sewing patterns.
💙
Check out the bio link for a step-by-step tutorial on how to make a body template for your totes gorgeous body. It's a super easy! It uses free software! You won't regret it!

Hubs and I built a platform to raise my sewing room desk to counter height. Now cutting fabric is A LOT easier on my back and neck - I should have done this ages ago!

Sewists, I hope you're not sleeping on using pinking shears! Pinking shears are the fastest way to finish raw edges, bar none. Check the bio link for a deep dive on how to keep pinking shears working flawlessly.

No, Blue, that's cool. My cutting mat and stack of patterns is a great place for you to vibe. I agree - the dog fur is a feature, not a bug. 🤣

Leave a 🐶 or 😺 in a comment if you have frequent animal sewing room "helpers." (At any given time, my helpers could include 🐕 or 🐈‍⬛😻🐈 (yes, I have three cats).)

YOU, yes YOU, can sew and fit a pair of pants. 👖 They're not as scary as you think, especially if you take some measurements before you start stitching. (Link in bio to learn more!)
💙
What pants pattern have you always wanted to try? I have a crush on the Jamie jeans from @namedclothing - I have the pattern and everything!
