Sewing Wish List (& Dreams)

This week's #honestcraftroomies Periscope hop was about our wish list for sewing and quilting.  My birthday is the week before Christmas and my main wish is to get my sewing room done.  I'd like to hang a pegboard, decorations and install a folding table/cutting table that I've dreamed up, but we will see!   It's fun to think and dream about new supplies, patterns, trips, machines, and fabric.  Most (all?) of which I don't need and can do just fine without.  But here are a few wishes (and dreams) on my list.  (And don't forget you can follow me on Periscope and find my replays on katch).

Colette Moneta as a Sweater & Grainline Archer for Momiform MAKEover Tour with Baste+Gather

Mom jeans.  Well, maybe now it's mom yoga pants or leggings (essentials of the contemporary mom uniform).  Moms often have a reputation for ill fitting or just plain sloppy clothes.  I'm there many days.   So, when Lauren Dahl of Baste+Gather proposed the Momiform MAKEover Tour, I knew I wanted to participate.  I don't sew for myself very often and I wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to adapt patterns to fit  (and hopefully mask) my disproportionate midsection.  After you see my garments, keep scrolling and enter the GIVEAWAYS at the bottom of the post.  Lauren put together an awesome giveaway with over 50 winners!  Then, go visit the other bloggers on the tour, especially Scientific Seamstress, Call Ajaire, and 110 Creations who also have posts today (full schedule at bottom of post).

Disclaimer & Disclosure: No spanx or other "helpful" tools were used for this post.  The patterns (which I chose) were provided to me for free, with no requirements other than I sew them for this tour.
