That feeling when you put your handmade label on your first finished adult-sized piece of clothing 🥰 more pics coming hopefully tomorrow when I can get some good ones!

Taking a sewing break to play Avowed. #avowed @obsidianent.bsky.social #gaming #steamgames #fantasygames

Wooop! Label made in a day!

Channeling my anxious energy over the next four years into more creations! Briefly pausing the camp coat to make a block printing stamp to label all my creations! #quiktsky #blockprinting #handmade

Progress for today. It’s starting to look like a coat!!! #quiltsky #sewing #handmade @laraehandmade.bsky.social #campcoat #quiltedclothing #quiltedapparel

Outer coat fabrication is quilted! Now to assemble the dang thing! #quiltsky #campcoat #mountainvalleyquilt @laraehandmade.bsky.social

This brother of mine better know how much I love his stinking face. 😩(Don’t worry. I make sure he does) #quiltsky #handmade #campcoat @laraehandmade.bsky.social

Finally have all the pieces cut for my brother’s very belated Christmas gift! Now to just quilt the outer quilt top then begin assembling the coat!! #quiltsky #handmade #quiltedclothing #cattax

One of my goals this year is to do a better job supporting local businesses. This morning: trying out a local coffee shop instead of the quick Starbucks nearby! #Melby #shoplocal #localbusinesses #coffeeshop

Look at those crisp corners! 🥹 learning about couching seams has CHANGED MY LIFE! #quiltsky

I inherited my husband’s grandmother’s Gingher fabric and plinking shears. She still stored them in the original boxes and sheaths along with the receipt. Purchased 5-7-1970 for $12.08 total. Can’t wait to use them. It’s like holding a little piece of history 💕

An early wake up from my teething toddler means getting my seam ripping done early!

So I’m starting new meds. Actually had some motivation. Worked on a project, messed up and have to seam rip some pieces. Became defeated and now I’m lying down early. So much going on in the world I’m going let myself be defeated tonight and hopefully get back to it tomorrow.

Ok. So. Per this law, the way it is written, EVERYONE is female on this planet. IF we are going by the sex AT CONCEPTION, every single fetus begins female, and only after 6-8 weeks do the chromosomes potential change. Sorry men. The future is female 🤷‍♀️ I’m reading and understanding that right, right?

Anyone else on the My Quilts app? I just joined as oh.sew.ritzie! myquilts.app

I had to get a new sewing chair. I ordered the white one. Aaaaand, I think I now have to put all my projects on hold, again, and make a cover for it. That is BEIGE. NOT WHITE. 😩 #quiltsky

Any fellow DFW, TX people want to meet other quilters/crafters? Come join us Sat. Jan 25 from 1-6pm in Saginaw for a sew/craft-in! #quiltsky www.eventbrite.com/e/1148587288...

Ready to learn a new style of embroidery this year with material from @kimonomomo.bsky.social while prepping, I listened to Sashiko Story on YouTube. So educational, go check them out! #sashiko @susanbriscoe.bsky.social

Yall ever have the most random intrusive thoughts? Like I’ll be sewing, suddenly remember my coffee mug is in my deck and my brain just immediately goes, “get up, grab that mug, and just throw it at the wall as hard as you can!” Like, calm down brain. Geez.

When the academic is in charge of last minute wrapping.

Merry early Christmas to everyone. Except the two people who stole my husbands car from our driveway this morning. Y’all two can be eaten by Krampus.

Finished the stuffies for my 18mo! Now to finish the dinosaur for my 3.5yr old. Stuffies and their clothes are from Bon Patterns!

Husband’s job has a use it or lose it PTO policy, some most years he gets to take a week or two off around the holidays to use up what he didn’t during the year.

If you had told high school me that I would end up with a hobby that used a lot of math, I would have thought you were crazy. 😂 trying to figure out the right size triangles for a beanie appliqué!!

My 18mo kept trying to tear the book’s pages, so I did actually get a gift finished! Memory sweater made for my mom using clothes from all of her grandkids to spell her name!

Well…I still have Christmas gifts to make, and I *do* have the audiobook, but there’s just something about the physical copy that juuuust might keep me from finishing some presents on time 😅 #booksky

It’s just the best when you make party plans, cook up a bunch of food, and then day of your toddler starts running a fever cause all party plans to halt. 😑

Got some exciting patterns and a lot during Small Business Saturday sales! #quiltsky @heckyessewco.bsky.social @cottonandjoy.bsky.social

My 3yo had a favorite dinosaur balloon. It stopped holding helium. According to her, “mommy can make anything”. So now I’m making a stuffie version for her, since, ya’know, I’ve made so many stuffies before…
