I Love To Sew

Yes, I do! Sewing is fun, and creative, and artistic. Sewing lets me take that pile of fabric over there:

fabric for Emily's quilt (eventually)

or this fabric here:

fabric for a laptop bag

and turn it into something beautiful and gorgeous and cute, like this laptop bag:

My laptop bag

or this tote bag for my daughter in law made out of my son’s old Air Force uniform:

Sarah's bag made out of Seth's Air Force uniform

There are all kinds of things I can make and use my creativity, like quilts, which to me is the ultimate in sewing and art and creative juices flowing:

Becca's Lone Star Quilt
Owen's Baby Quilt
Spencer's "Sleeping Bears" baby quilt

But, what sewing is NOT for me? Hemming pajama pants that are too long. Or fixing the crotch of your pants after they have ripped. That? is like me asking you to unclog the toilet. Like asking you to take out the trash. It is work. It is a chore. It is, well, just not fun. But, because I love you, I do it, and it takes me half a freakin hour to fix that crotch because those pants have some of the weirdest seams I have ever seen.

Mending pants is not sewing

Mending pants is not sewing. Just so you know.

    I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again … you have an amazing talent. I can’t sew anything other than my fingers. And yeah, I imagine hemming pants is work, it sure doesn’t sound fun.

    Well said! I couldn’t agree with you more. Johnny keeps asking when I’m going to sew the button back on his shorts… That too is not sewing, but work!

    I agree! mu hubby is always asking me to sew on buttons and fix jeans, I actually find myself whining a little bit when he does, lol! It’s definitely not the same as making something pretty!
    Your projects are gorgeous! I love love love that Air Force bag and Lonestar quilt!

    Agreed! Mending is…well mending! Sewing is creating a project from scratch – and you are darn good at it!

    I can’t even be bothered sewing a button back on. But then I don’t find any kind of sewing fun. So now you’ve confirmed how much you love me by saying you’d fix a seam on my shirt. HUGS!!!!

    I love to sew also! I am working on a Christmas Quilt. I was wondering what make/model of sewing machine you have. I am thinking of getting a Brother/Runway model.
