Happy Valentine's Day!

Oh sewing, how I love thee.  Let me count the ways.  


I love thee to the sewing table and back

Even when all I am sewing is a sack.  

Coat, OOP Burda 7304

I love thee freely, as my creativity soars

Sweatpants, OOP Kwik Sew 3663

I love thee purely, as it mends my grief

Covid-19 era scrub caps

I love thee with kindness, as it give me purpose

I love thee quietly in my solitude as I transform fabric into pure joy

I love thee with a love that is hard to articulate, the calling of the sewing machine is undeniable no matter how late.
