I would love to hear what tool got your creative juices flowing this week and what fun projects you are stitching up during National Sewing Month. This week, I raided the scrap basket and created something fun… more details on that coming soon.
When I had seen the 5 in 1 tool advertised the first thing I thought of was the painting tool and wondered how a sewing tool could be like that. Thanks Nancy for the demo I really now understand why I need this as an sewing tool. What I liked the most is sewing with it for seams – I tend not to make sraight seams regardless how I try it. This will definitely make my sewing a lot more enjoyable and keep the +3 reading glasses in their case.
I recently found my sewing mojo when my path crossed the Alzheimer Apron lady’s, it is a fascinating story and worth a look. I have blogged it here http://knitwritecookgo.blogspot.com/2012/09/the-apron-that-started-it-all.html
Today i will be cutting out and working on Ollie the Owl Stuffie as well as finishing my second shoulder cozie I am knitting out of Berrocco Boboli, fall is upon us and I am excited to have my sewing mojo back.
Your site and Etsy shop are great, keep up the good work!
So glad you got your sewing mojo back!! Thank you for your kind words Donna! I’m glad you like my little shop. Please send me pictures of Ollie when you are done, I would love to see him!

Finished Owlivia last week but couldn’t find my camera (sending via email). Currently working on my first purse (fun so far). Next project is a quilt for my youngest son — a bargello (something else I’ve never tried). I love sewing, but manage to get in crocheting, painting, and some general crafting. Retirement is the best job I’ve ever had!!
Wow Brenda,
Sounds like you have been a busy bee! I love the handmade look of crochet but never really got the hang of it. Maybe I need to try it again. I will keep my eyes peeled for a picture!
