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 draped a really rough half-scale ruffle tail for one of the debutant dresses Janet & I are making. I just eyeballed and freehand cut a scrap of (un-ironed) muslin in a spiral and pinned it to my little dress form to make sure it was long enough to reach from hem to waist. Then I marked the folds and traced it onto graph paper and cleaned it up. The graph paper makes it easier to copy at 200% and tape the pieces back together.
I'll transfer the enlarged frankenstein paper pattern to brown paper when I'm back at the studio tomorrow or Friday and then make it out of the real fabric.

I made 2 of these valentine garlands. Found the tutorial via Instagram and thought it would be perfect to send to Ashley, my daughter in Oregon, and Madison, my birth daughter in North Carolina.
