How Sewing During the Pandemic Changed Me

Fur Your Consideration
Halloween has always been my favorite time of year. Not just for the spooky aesthetics, or even all the sickeningly sweet candy, but for the costumes. The idea of being whatever you could think of was such a freeing idea. When I graduated from using safety scissors and was able to hold a glue gun I had always made my own costumes for Halloween. One year I was a zombie Nascar driver, another I was a Queen of ice and snow (I still feel like a certain mouse owes me royalties for that). In my older years I was a decapitated head on a platter and I even made myself into a chair transformer. And even during non-costume associated holidays I tried to dress up. I glued cotton balls to my face as Santa, and wore pantyhose on my head for the Easter Bunny. Even after all that I was still needing a fix and became intrigued in costumes outside of the holiday season. I was looking for any excuse to become something else even just for a day. I started wearing cat ears and cardboard robot heads, even looking up cosplay resources on YouTube and craft websites. Until one fateful day, I fell down a rabbit hole that led me to find my biggest unrealized dream: to be a giant walking stuffed animal.

Why Choose Cotton
Did you know that cotton played an important role in the history of India, the British Empire, and the United States? Cotton continues to be an important crop and commodity. I bet you didn’t know that the first place for cotton to be spun into thread, and used in the creation of fabric was in Pakistan back in 3000 BC.

My DIY Quilted Jacket
The Catalyst Growing up I was never interested in being a creator. I preferred dealing with numbers and majored in finance where my day job had no need for a creative side. What then sparked my interest in creative endeavors?

Homemade Hats for Handsome Heads
It warms my heart to be able to warm the heads of those closest to me. I love knitting hats. Whether they are baby-sized (who even makes circle needles that small!) or large enough to fit my brother’s melon of a noggin, I make them in all shapes, colors, and sizes.

The Sewing Machine
A howl rose up behind me and I turned to see the scissors standing upright in my sister’s foot. Don’t know how it happened. I was nowhere near her, and I didn’t know it then, but that was the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

How To Tie a Tie
The tie is tied so it stays tight, but the knot must be symmetrical in both directions. Pull one end of the tie in, lean the tie against a piece of felt or paper or a pen and observe how you can make a perfect knot without a pattern. Fold both of the fabric sides in toward the center. Make one side tighter than the other and fold them in to the center with the small side closest to the knot getting longer. Take the first bit of the tie you folded up and slide it under the center to make it snug to the knot. Remove the paper if it falls to one side. Attach the ends with a very small finish knot or a double knot if it needs it.

Clean Clothes, But Nowhere to Put Them
iron on vinyl How about we talk clothing. All the more explicitly, the pantry. Is yours efficient? Does it need space? Are your clothing items put away close enough to permit you to do clothing rapidly and productively? On the off chance that you addressed "no" to any of these inquiries, it's an ideal opportunity to get coordinated. Consider a portion of these sharp for your pantry.
