Summer sewing has a different routine. I have company in my sewing room.Yesterday we had a very clean sewing table. When the fabric is out of the way we use this big surface for other crafty projects and activities, like working puzzles.
Most of the time it is not so tidy.It can look more like this. But usually it looks much worse.
I have returned to an old but not too old work in progress involving lots of half square triangles.After a bit of sewing I determined that I didn't have nearly enough half square triangles made so out came the scraps. Then there was a bit of mission creep and I decided to cut some 1.5 inch squares from the fabrics that are not quite big enough for the half square triangles.
I like to have these squares handy for some scrappy nine patches, four patches, or a good postage stamp quilt as the need arises.I'm trying to keep it organized as I go.
P has been working at a little featherweight at her desk while I sew at my machine. She has been commissioned to do some sewing this summer. I'll be sure to share more about that with you later.
Fun times!
