Hello friends!<\/p>\n

Well, we’ve been a week in quarantine now. The days are starting to blend together, I must admit (I forgot it was Friday!), but we’re both doing well. I’m still doing my training in the kitchen every morning (new muscles! and my knee is feeling better, too!), and I’ve been getting a little personal sewing done during my down time. Maybe one of these days I’ll even tackle my pile of unfinished objects.<\/p>\n

So since many of us are staying indoors, and probably sewing as well, here is today’s question: if you could only sew one thing (over and over) for the rest of the year, what would it be?<\/p>\n

\"What<\/a><\/p>\n

I seem to be on a Gelato Dress<\/a> and a Classic Shirt<\/a> kick. I’ve sewn them both many, many times, and I’m sewing more of them now. If I had to pick just one I’d pick the Classic Shirt because it’s so versatile and because shirts are such an important part of my daily uniform.<\/p>\n

And you?<\/p>\n

Stay strong, friends! It’s going to get worse before it gets better, but we can do this. I’m guessing many of us are going to get a LOT of sewing done in the next few weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
