Scary bear sweatshirt

My machine is back! Of course it's not as simple as that a week and a half ago I got my repaired machine home sewed up this shirt with it and it promptly re-broke. Or perhaps was never fully fixed to begin with. So back we went, Beri and me hacking up our lungs with a chest infection and dropped it back off. Here's the shirt that re-broke it....


Another Heidi & Finn button hoodie. I was too lazy to do the buttons at the time. Since then I've gotten really lazy and decided I like it without the buttons.


It's made of an old sweatshirt of my dad's which Loo is pretty proud of. He loves looking at the animals and their tracks. Except when I put it on him this morning he acted afraid of it and said the bears were scary. Sorry little one we were in a rush and so you had to wear it anyway.


Happily I got my machine back again last week. So far so good. The dealer said as I walked away "Don't take this the wrong way but I hope to never see you again." Agreed.

How's everyone's holiday sewing going? I go back and forth between being upset I haven't done much and thankful for having a good excuse not to have a homemade gift for everyone. You never know, Christmas is still far enough away I'm sure I'll sew myself into a frenzy yet.

I've been feeling pretty meh about blogging lately. Maybe the return of my machine will get me going again. I do have lots of pictures hanging around of stuff I serged over the past month they're just dull and blah. We'll see how it goes....  We finished a painting project over the weekend which was pretty exciting, details may or may not follow at some point....

  1. That fabric is so cute!! I love how you always make upcycled materials look quality and boutique-ish. And I'm glad your machine is back. I'm totally feeling the same about blogging, I think it's just the time of year. There is so much I want to be making, and the blogging about it kind of feels like an annoying after thought right now. I tend to go thru that every few months though, I'm sure it will pass.
