Sew What?

Nov 20, 2006

I haven’t posted in a while because nothing new is going on. It’s cold, but that’s normal. Well, twenty-below with the wind chill isn’t normal, but we’re creeping back up into the teens, so I can’t complain much anymore. At least my gloves aren’t freezing to the wheelbarrow handle this week.

I’ve been spending a lot of time inside, which means I’ve been looking for ways to distract myself. I’m thinking I should sew more.

I just can’t decide what.

I think I might make a cooler. Not that I’d be saving money by doing so, but it would keep me occupied for a bit. I think I’d want to line it in nylon or some other static-resistent material. And I’d like to make it fitted, because I’ve made square coolers before.

Or I could make a baby pad or two, but that’s also not cost effective. For some reason, the cost-effectiveness bothers me more with the baby pads than it does with the cooler.

I’d like to make a stuffed horse, actually. Hmm. Guess that means I need to go buy a pattern.

Why do I always get these ideas after the stores close?

Do you knit? I’ve got some toy horse patterns (not one of which I’ve made yet, of course but naturally I had to have them).

I don’t, unfortunately. I can only manage the sewing machine.


But isn’t buying patterns half the fun? Even when they never get used? http://halt-near-x.com/images/smileys/smile.gif
