\"new-sewing-books\"<\/p>\n

I do this thing, this thing that often starts with a discovery of a new book (or two), usually of the Japanese variety. I flip through the pages and daydream and plan and think, “oooh, I’ll make this top from this book<\/a>…”<\/p>\n

\"new-sewing-books1\"<\/p>\n

“Or this comfy looking one from this book<\/a>…”<\/p>\n

\"new-sewing-books2\"<\/p>\n

And before I know it, I’m carrying the books out of the store, my checking account slightly depleted, but my spirits buoyed.\u00a0I scroll through my mental fabric stash inventory and gleefully anticipate wearing my new tops.<\/p>\n

The beautiful books lay undisturbed, the fabrics neatly folded and unfound. Weeks pass.<\/p>\n

I am excellent at imaginary sewing. Do you ever do that?<\/p>\n

Now that I’ve posted these photos, though, I’m feeling more motivated\u00a0and actual<\/em> sewing might happen! Let’s hope so. My energy is slowly returning, and I’m going to start small. Itty bitty.\u00a0Maybe a single seam. Or maybe just spreading out the pattern sheet. Yes, I think I can handle that.<\/p>\n
