Just got this fabric from Moodfabrics and Im so excited to work with it! Love how luxurious the fabric look and feel. .. Only thing is, Im not sure what dress I want to turn it into. .. Any suggestions would help!? .. Meanwhile, I also have a line up for masks and scrub caps that I feel are more urgent to make. .. Sometimes, though, it makes me think if doing these things are worth making for free. Ive done a lot of stuff for free which I could have accomplished with a certain fee but some circumstances urges me to just do it freewill. .. Now that Im realizing Ill have a family to feed too, is it really worth it? Most of the time, just seeing their satisfied faces and reading their happy comments are enough for me. But is it now? In situations like this, when we all are in dire need of money to fill up our necessities. ... At the end of the day, the smiles I see on the peoples face for things Ive done for them for free, are enough for me to keep going. Ive never been one for public applause anyway. Im just happy to help. .. Am I alone with these kinds of thoughts? .. And oh, Moodfabrics are kind enough to give away 10% off if you purchase with these code: MSNJM22 .. . . . . #worthit #itsworthit #thankyoumood #madewithmood #moodfabrics #attitudeofgratitude #moodfabricsnyc #thoughtsoftheday #fabric #fabrichoarder #fabricstash #quarantinestory #thankyouhealthcareworkers #thankyouhealthcareworkers🙏❤️ #thankfulandblessed (at New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_qHCwaFuKE/?igshid=1eznvwwwfqmnd

My daughter has been obsessed with the Hamilton soundtrack since her 5th grade social studies teacher played “You’ll Be Back” during class last year. Just the songs have already inspired her to write and create and sing (and rap while in the shower) and to study and to learn and to seek understanding. Both my parents passed away last year, bringing life into focus; we’re not the people who fly to NYC for a weekend to see a broadway play, but that’s what we did. And holy hell, was it worth it. Hamilton wasn’t just a show — it was a transformative experience. What a gift to share with my child. @hamiltonmusical #newyork #newyorkcity #momlife #mood #fabric #thankyoumood #hamilton #travel #instagood #family #timessquare #parenting #motherdaughter #nyc #mood #broadway #hamiltonmusical #memories #linmanuelmiranda (at Hamilton: An American Musical)

WWWWWWW

I'm laughing because I already follow you but thankyoumood for the advice and more recommendations on who else to follow. I need people to live chat with because my bf isn't here every week and he only comments on stuff that he hates. www

When you want to read live blogging but the tumblr app is SUPER FUCKING BROKEN.

Heather: September Sewing Roundup

September might have been a quieter month on the making front but it's been a great top-up for the stash!

  Remember summer? That distant glimmer of sunshine we had over the Bank Holiday weekend? Well this tried and trusted McCalls 6503 was the very last of my summer makes, using this stunning printed cotton from the fabric swap at #SewUpNorth. With the darker colours in there I'm hoping it will also get some wear into Autumn with tights and boots, and it's a perfect match for a remnant of orange crepe from Fabric Corner Lincoln that I whipped up into my second Sew Over It 'Coco' Jacket.

#M6503 and Sew Over It 'Coco Jacket'.

After the summer weekend had finished I found myself wanting some longer sleeved garments to stave-off the rapidly approaching winter. A month or so ago I hacked the Sew Over It Penny Dress and Juliette Blouse into the 'Julinny' top, and used the remnants of a dress I made for Mum to make myself a top. I think this style will become an absolute wardrobe staple!

You'll probably have seen a lot of coverage online of the Great British Sewing Bee Live event at ExCel London at the end of September. I think my esteemed blogging friends have done justice to reviewing the event, so I won't go into great depth but I will simply say that I had a fantastic day out, and will definitely be back next year! Here are a few snaps from the day (yes, we did take an empty suitcase to fill with fabric...)

I will, however, introduce you to my haul of gorgeous fabrics, carefully selected this time in contrast with my usual cheap'n'cheerful approach. I was hoping to get a few pieces for my winter wardrobe and the show did not disappoint! You'll have to check my future posts to see what I managed to make!

And finally, on our recent holiday to America I was lucky enough to visit the absolute fabric mecca that is Mood Fabrics in New York City! I have never seen so much fabric in one place in my life, and it was honestly a bit overwhelming! 

#thankyoumood

Lucky for me that wonderful husband of mine spotted the absolute perfect Flamingo Print cotton lawn, that is actually one of Mood's own prints, and there couldn't have been a better choice in the store. The print repeat is over a metre, so I'm not sure what I'll do with it yet, but it certainly will be striking!
