I just had an idea while listening to the livestream in Dave's community. (Lots of new things will be coming to Locals in the near future!) When I say "just had" I mean it's such a fresh idea I haven't quite moved beyond the concept phase with any real details yet.
I don't really feel like this community should be all about me - I want it to be about ALL of us, and I want us to be able to make the connections we have trouble making on other social media platforms. A real community.
With that in mind, would you be interested in something like "Community Conversations" videos? I could video call each of the active members one at a time and post informal interviews of the recorded conversations. That way we all get to know each other a little bit better and maybe we can continue to attract more people to The Sewing Sphere.
Are there any other ways you'd like to connect and get to know each other? I'm still looking into zoom calls meetups and possibly some movie/tv watching together. Do you have any ideas to add to my list? I want to make this the community place to go for creative inspiration and sewing/crafting!
Please vote and comment on what you'd like to see!
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
I finally finished the quilt for my daughter. I couldn’t take pictures of the entire thing (her room is a disaster zone), but here’s some of the patchwork and the embroidered square I made because I ended up being one short. I did learn that I’m going to need to find a better way to lay out any future quilts that are twin sized or larger, because I had to keep shifting it around the slightly too small area of our basement carpet and the backing ended up getting doubled up in multiple places. By the time I discovered it, I couldn’t bring myself to unpick that much of the quilting, so it’ll have to stay. But I think it’s going to be awhile before I do any more quilts. Between this and the patchwork jeans (which I did end up having to shorten some), I’m feeling burned out on big projects for now. I did cut out a basic knit tee, so hopefully that’ll be enough of a palate cleanser to get me over the lack of motivation to sew that I was feeling by the end of this.
