#which would solve some of the problem of my sewing chair being an extremely uncomfortable wooden dining room chair

Okay so I dislike sewing but have decided it's better to just make shit myself so I know 1. It's quality work and won't fall apart in 6 months 2. It'll fit me 3. It'll be to my (atrocious) taste and 4. The labor to make the thing was ethical.

So I've been collecting sewing projects but not actually sewing them because of the aforementioned disliking sewing thing. So. It's time to spend Wed-Sat sewing to see how much I can get done without absolutely killing my joints from sitting on my uncomfortable sewing chair.

Projects I will be working on, in the order I'll probably do them:

1. Outdoor meditation cushion. Wanted to meditate outside and watch the sunrise today but I didn't have anything to sit on! So this one's first (3-5 hours of work)

2. Turquoise pants from star hell. They're cut out. I finished the embroidery weeks ago. They've been ready to he sewn together for like at least a month but I was sick of looking at them and they're a two day project so I haven't finished them yet (2 days of work)

3. Project bag to put the celestial cardigan project in cuz my current strategy of "individual projects in ziplock bags thrown together in grocery bags" is not gonna cut it for an entire sweater (2-3 hours of work if I still have grommets and a grommet press lying around, 3-5 hours if I have to hand sew some eyelets)

4. Grocery bag for my grandpa's winter holiday gift (2 hours maybe? Less? More?)

5. Zippered tote with zippered pocket for my grandma's gift (genuinely no idea how long this'll take but I'm thinking I can finish it in an afternoon. The tutorial I'm following is half an hour long but I'm adding a welt pocket which I've never done before so we'll see.)

6. Crop top that needs to be 99% sewn together, then embroidered with some turquoise stars and then finished (to go with the turquoise pants) (1-2 hours not counting embroidery. It's already cut out and everything)

Might mix and match some of these like if I finish the meditation cushion quickly I'll maybe do my grandpa's gift cuz it's gonna be quick and simple. I've decided that if it's not done by Saturday it's not getting done for a while.

My dye notes binder cover is taking up too much space in my living room, also. It just needs scales drawn and embroidered and two corner decorations embroidered and then it can be sewn together so that's gonna be my "If I look at a sewing machine for another second I'm going to scream" emotional support side project.
