<br />
Is there such a thing as sewing purgatory?? If you ask me I would say YES. I am standing in the middle of it. It is filled with fallen ideas, and lots of incomplete projects.<br />
<br />
My current Limbo status is directly related to the struggle between ordering things online for a GREAT deal and having to give up the <strike>pleasure </strike>convenience of shopping in store. I have been waiting for <strike>what seems like months</strike> only a few days LOL, but too long for my liking for my supplies to come in from Cali and the BIG APPLE. Without those supplies I can not get my Fearless February Challenge under way.<br />
<br />
For the love of sewing get me out of here!!!!!!!!!! Time is of the essence!<br />
<br />
In other news, I made an infinity scarf w/ fringe (FANCY). It was my first time sewing with jersey fabric. I can almost cross that of my sewing To Do list (to be explained in a future post).<br />

The back panel ended up being 5/8 of an inch to big and I had no idea how it occurred or how it was to be fixed. I stayed up till the wee hours of the night trying to retrace my steps, but to no avail. I tried asking my Craftsy instructor for help but seeing that I was not using the same pattern and she is located far far away, in Internet land, she could not help. In her defense she did try to help. </div>

After purchasing <a href="http://www.amazon.com/The-Sewing-Book-Step-Step/dp/0756642809">The Sewing Book</a> at JO-Ann's ($20 w/ 50% off coupon) I found the answer to all my questions. I learned that my skirt is GORED (new term added to my sewing vocab.) and I should have made my alterations by dividing the amount to be decreased by the number of seamlines. So next time all I have to is a little more math which I <strike>hate</strike> love.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I am writing this post as my first formal introduction to everyone out there in the Blogosphre (especially my fellow seamstress)...not sure if I can officially carry that title since I am a semi-self taught beginner who has only sewn a few items. Two of which are from paper patterns.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">My first time with a sewing machine was very memorable. I was sixteen and very impressionable. It was a warm no wait cold...or was it hot?? Anyhoo, I do remember it was during eleventh grade home economics class where I set out to make my very own PILLOW PERSON....sigh. What is it you ask, well it is a pillow with a face, arms and legs. In my defense I did say that I was very impressionable, and I wanted to have one like Donna Joe Tanner (aka DJ from Full House). This pillow person seamed like a daunting task, but I did it!!! I cut out arms and legs that I had drawn and traced on fabric. The face was done by hand embroidery stitching along a tracing I did. She had long eyelashes, brown eyes and red lips (who does not like a girl/woman with red LipStick?). I was very proud of my work. So much so that she went off to college with me, we moved into our own apartment together. We only recently parted ways when Morgan, the puppy, had a little altercation with her...chicks! Sadly to say someone had to go. In Morgie's defense she claims she was provoked. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">As you can probably tell I was obsessed with my first piece. After she was created I did not sew from 2004-2010. I think its because she was so perfectly imperfect I believed I would never create any thing as enchanting ;-). My hiatus ended when all my friends stared having babies and I wanted to make something a little more personal that they would keep for a longtime. Something like my pillow person but not as awesome, sorry it cant be done. So I decided to make mini baby quilts. I had no idea where to begin. I did not even own a sewing machine. So I brought one, jumped on the internet and sewed four, perfectly imperfect, mini quilts for the new mini people. Ps they were a hit with the mommies. My friends stopped having babies and my sewing stopped.</span><br />
