Thanks for hanging with me for an awkward first livestream attempt @laurahoj @AudmentsSewing and @thesciwriter! Hope you found it somewhat useful! (I'm surprised that I went on for 47 minutes!)
If I can figure out a better way to livestream using my laptop and a browser instead of the Locals app and my phone, that might help the volume level. So weird that it was so quiet when regular videos I take with my phone tend to pick up every little sound in the house!
And sorry for the slightly weird angle. I had my phone set up for wide-screen, but I guess the app only allows for portrait on livestreams. I guess that just means next time is guaranteed to be better, lol!
I spent the day priming things for paint and then I remembered to shoot a quick video. #SewingStudioBuild
I started cutting all the edges while Janet was away yesterday morning. When she got back after lunch, she pulled out a roller and started filling in. I'll put a pic below in the comments. #SewingStudioBuild
We broke for lunch and then came back with a portal ac unit plugged in to an extention cord from the house. Can't wait until they finished hooking up all the electrical and we have the mini split cooling the room for us - it was stupid humid today! #SewingStudioBuild
Merry Christmas, everyone!
If you're looking for something Christmasy to listen to/watch over the next few days, here's the most recent episode of my favorite podcast Blurry Creatures. It's a really fascinating (and nerdy) deep dive into the Biblical story of the Magi.
Two days after my son turned in his last paper for his bachelor's degree, I finished my shirt sewing project. Eight shirts, made to measure. Most of the fabrics are linen. Yes, regrettably you can tell exactly when I got my sewing machine repaired... but I hope these help him as he moves through his master's program and in life.
We had a very quiet Thanksgiving, and I'm doing palate cleansers between the shirts in my shirt gift project, so I ran through the scrap pile and made myself an apron.
Aprons, IME, should be made of thicker fabrics in order to actually prevent splashes and stains from getting to your real clothes. Both of these were skirt leftover bits :)
