#Sewing project to take my mind off the world. Straight from "DIY Olga" on YouTube, I made this crossbody bag for my wife from an old pair of jeans. An old striped button down shirt is the lining. (I still need the "closure" thingy.)

DIY Olga made it look easy - I'm a beginner, so it took me a lot longer and there are a couple "don't look too closely" spots.

My wife loves it.

So it begins. The stash has been raided and is headed for the clothes line. Pattern has been chosen. I am using a discontinued Helen's Closet pattern that I intend to modify to make a lined denim jacket. If I can get this done by the time it's warm enough to wear it, I will be doing okay!

Please ignore the generous amount of cat hair. The dress has been waiting for its turn for a while, and cat hair… happens 😬

It's not a _perfect_ fit, but it looks store-bought, so it'll do :) Since it's jersey it'll shape itself after my body in a while anyway. And _finally_ something to wear that isn't marine, or white with dark stripes, or brownish!

Day 7 of #MeMadeMay and I’ve been focussed on working out how to use a loop turner, through a process of trial and lots of error, so that I can make some progress on the dress I started months ago. I’m hoping these straps will look better once pressed! #sewing #sewingsunday
I may have *finally* figured out my coverstitch situation? (Tfu tfu tfu!) Props to Johanna Lundström’s “Mastering the Coverstitch Machine.” #sewing #sewingmachine #sewingsunday
