Twice a week, I take my kid to ballet class. We live about 20 minutes from the studio, and her class at this age is one hour long. It seems pointless to drive home, be home for not very long, and drive back, so I usually just hang out in the lobby during her class. This step of my project absolutely can go with me, and other people at the studio love seeing what I'm working on. I need to zap all the threads off, and then I can start assembling the bows - none of which requires anything more than space to sit, a bag to collect my thread scrap, and my handheld thread zapper! Fat stack ready to sew! Tried this out for an inexpensive make! Pattern from @crystalspoints , I just added the keyring because why not xD now time to batch - these will be in-person exclusive until market season wraps up! Redoing some of my product photos so that I can have more consistency across my listings and my website xD If you're local, you can find me at the Elgin Farmer's Market this summer! I'll be doing 4 Fridays this summer: June 19, July 17, July 31, and Aug 14! Tutu tacking day two! This time I'm attaching the petals to the tutus so they don't flop while the girls are dancing xD Trying something new today! Batch sewing is so nice! Prepped pockets for 9 bags - 2 mesh one vinyl per bag. Four teacher gifts, four for my shop, and one selfish sew :D A quick sneak peek at my next project. You won't get to see the finished project until mid-May as it's set of gifts and at least two of the recipients are on Instagram and follow my personal account xD they'll know the fabric but won't have any clue what they're getting until the week before our recital!
