After the Sew Magical Expo, Jayde (@heartwoodandhi

After the Sew Magical Expo, Jayde (@heartwoodandhide ), our husbands and I took to the World Showcase at Epcot for some drinks and snacks! We grabbed a nibble, a beverage, and then RAN for cover as the heavens opened and a massive storm blew through.
•
A few fun minutes of sipping cocktails in the bathroom was quickly followed by this BEAUTIFUL sunset! It was the perfect ending to a perfect day.
•
So many hugs. A few happy tears. Dozens of friendships formed. The Sew Magical Expo was the type of experience that feels like relief after some terrible moments, but also encouragement for what lies ahead. No matter how much time we spend sewing alone, we’re never lonely.
•
Now if we could just get Kayla to spill the beans on what she has planned for 2022!

So be honest, is the PUL binding idea a little out

So be honest, is the PUL binding idea a little out there?
•
I know that the “b-word” in sewing is a pretty big turn off for a lot of you (I’m talking binding, friends) and I’m DETERMINED to get you on board. There’s just soooooo many more bags you can make of you get comfortable with this technique.
•
And I’ve used a lot of things as binding: quilt cotton, vinyl, elastic, PUL, waterproof canvas, premade binding. They all have their challenges. But the PUL, it seems to be really forgiving.
•
So if you try out this clear vinyl pouch let me know! I would love to hear how it goes and if you have any tips!
•
Happy Monday friends!

My last cabinet stash photo had many of you thinking I own predominately pink fabric. So let’s give a hand to the brown, blue, orange and green shelves!
•
From an overall sewing room view, I love sorting my fabric by color. However, it can be easy to forget about each individual print.
•
How do you organize your stash? By color? Designer? Just shove it on a shelf or bin and call it a day? Honestly, that’s my method too. As long as it eventually is off the floor, success!

Also just noticed some pink overflowing into the orange and yellow shelf 🤭. Maybe I do favor pink!

In a sewing rut? This amazing Wool and Wax Tote from @noodlehead531 is such a wonderful make, it will probably get you out of it 😉.
•
I love a bag that can be sewn up quick, but can also be used to practice some fancy-bag extras. I’ve already seen so many comments mentioning this bag for the holidays, and I couldn’t agree more! I may be working on one of those at this moment as well 🤔 .
•
Happy Monday everyone!

Screensaver?
•
It’s about that time for me to reorganize ALL my fabric. I love/hate this process. I find so many cuts of fabric I’ve forgotten about and get super excited to use! But then I also have to say goodbye to some friends I know I just won’t make a priority 😢.

Destash to come later this year. First we’re organizing vinyl scraps 🥰.

Ran the bed-and-breakfast idea by Murphy. She wasn’t a fan of the “cold weather location” suggestion 😂.
•
If you missed it, today in stories we’re day dreaming about a future sewing shop, coffee shop, sewing retreat and bed and breakfast. At this point, it seems like such a far off idea, it’s more of a wish than a plan.
•
But maybe one day!
•
(The most challenging part would be convincing 2/3 of my team, Babi and Derek, to leave Florida. 99% sure they feel the same as Murphy with that one.)
