my creative space

Im able to join in the creative spaces over at Kootoyoo this week. Im finally sewing again after way too long. I have orders from one of my favourite customers and a deadline.

I had to tidy up first just to be able to 'feel' my way around the new room. I still havent painted the table as I cant seem to decide on a colour choice. I have a raw piece of MDF on top of it to 'make' it larger.

Massive achievement, ladies. Ive never used this cabinet before for my fabrics

 and was glad most things fit.

Etsy custom orders are good for me. They keep me on track and force me to face my insecurities head on.

Ill be ignoring this massive pile of unfinished quilts that sits at one end of the table including the one I started 6 years ago (bottom),

the one for Mali that has to be finished before winter (3rd from bottom),

I dont even like pink and theres a pink one in there. What? Why? Who knows. Maybe im pregnant. Pink is for nurturing after all.

Loving the green one though, which only needs to be edged.

 If only....Yeh right.

One silly diagonal brown and red number I started after watching way too many shows of 'Simply Quilts' on Foxtel (while laughing of course, they take themselves way too seriously) I do admit I learned a couple of things though.

The order was for blue and purple but I just couldnt get past the blues.

After I found this embroidery in my stash I knew I had my jumping off point and the rest was easy.

Even for the boys pants. The circle helped me decide the shape of the pockets.

 So a top for a little girl,

and pants for a little boy.

The first things made in my new sewing room.
