Today I'm indulging myself by reorganizing, sorting and cleaning my studio. In a sense, it's a cleansing ritual for me after a particularly intense series of deadlines. My first magazine article recently hit the shelves (in CraftStylish's "Quick Stuff to Make", along with a web extra) and I just finished photo and construction samples for another article which, if published, will be out this Fall. It's exciting but a lot of hard work. So I'm taking a day to reorganize my studio, my thoughts and my project priorities.
Thankfully, this week begins my series of Sew Fun classes! Tomorrow I'll be in Issaquah in the afternoon and evening, to kick off the 'southern' half of the Sew Fun club. I love to see what everyone has made during the 'show and tell' portion of the club, and it's fun to demonstrate new tools and techniques to make your sewing more relaxing and enjoyable. This month my amazing teaching partner, Ann Almond, and I are featuring the books Denim by Design and Vogue Sewing. We have some great ideas for denim recycling, and will give you the chance to touch some of the new bamboo fabrics. If you haven't already attended in the 'northern' stores, I hope you'll join us!
