One thing that I hope I won't lose when I go back to work is the free time to create and especially sew. I've been enjoying sewing projects for baby S and am trying to get back into sewing for myself.
Unlike quilts and toys, sewing clothes requires fitting to your body. Cue sighing. I've been putting off sewing clothes until I was the size I want to be but that hasn't happened for a while.
Now post-baby I'm just happy to have a waist so to celebrate I'm putting off "until I lose X number of pounds" and saying "I'll work with what I've got now." I've got some ideas saved from old Anthropologie catalogs.
Here's to Happy Sewing!
