ink and yarnI'm beginning to realize that #sewing is primarily a cycle of rearranging small pieces of fabric, pinning, and waiting for the iron to heat up... and only a very small amount of time is actually spent stitching those pieces of fabric together.
Freyalyn 🌻🌨️ 🌲 🎄 🌲 🌨️@emery Well done, many people sew for years and never realise this! 🤣
@Freyalyn Back in the early days of the pandemic when we were making our own masks, I got the sewing machine out for the first time in several years. This was the result...
@emery Oh yes. Preparation often takes longer than sewing.
@Freyalyn The overall project takes much less time than it would if I knitted it though! (Not that one should knit a mask for anything other than warmth, but today I've been sewing little zipper bags.)
@emery Things like that are very satisfying to make, aren't they.
My sewing machine (and loom) are upstairs in an unheated room, so unusable until the weather gets warmer.
