🔖 Read We Cannot Give Up on Each Other by Kelly Jensen.
I really needed this today.
The page isn’t turned, and the book isn’t closed. There are chapters still being written, chapters still to be written, and people who are eager to be brought into the story to help make it what we all deserve.
I’m taking Brooks Ann Camper’s Skirt Skills Custom Sewing class. Yesterday I put together my notebook for the class.
My goal is to use stuff I already have as much as possible so long as my experience doesn’t suffer for it.
Here are some photos! Notebook cover, pencil box, sketch paper.
🔖🧵 Read Just Make it Already! How to Boost Your Sewing Confidence.
Brooks Ann Camper includes this as a bonus link in the orientation for Skirt Skills, which I’m taking right now. It’s exactly what recovering perfectionists need to heal & works for any creative endeavor.
It’s very Kimberly that I just had a nightmare in which the nightmarish occurrence was that the public library had pushed the YA bookshelves so close together that they were inaccessible. 📚
🧵 I made a pillow! Well, I covered a pillow. I used instructions from the Sewing 10 class from Brit + Co. My seams were so wobbly that I actually had to go back and hand sew a gap closed. I used a messy whip stitch to finish it but I’ve hidden the seam on the bottom here.
