So I acquired another pattern yesterday. When I arrived at work there was a pattern for Scribe that had my name on it. This is from a dear co worker who has given me sewing supplies in the recent past. I am touched every time she gives me something. Thinking I really need to do something for her.
Have some fun things planned the next few days. So need the relaxation. Have a Pay Benetar concert on Friday. Picking up fabric for table runner on Saturday also going to hit the outdoor market. Setting time aside to Sunday to sew with a new friend via Skype (something I have never done before….use Skype).
Off to work….another fun filled day in the land of pediatrics the week before school starts! If I haven’t mentioned it prior I am a Medical Assistant by day at a Pediatric Office.
Good Fortune Shining on Me!

A friend suggested I join FreeCycle. After looking around the site I decided why not. If your unfamiliar with FreeCycle it is where people are looking to get rid of items and people are looking for items.
I saw a posting for a box of sewing patterns and a Quilt Kit. So I contacted “M” to learn that someone beat me to them. Made me a little sad…oh well whatever I thought. Then today “M” emailed me that they were still available. Was I still interested? Needless to say I picked them up earlier this evening.
When I arrived at her home she informed me that she also had a bag of fabric that someone never picked up and it was mine if I wanted it. That’s right ladies and gentlemen I also scored a bag of fabric.
Here are the pictures of the newest additions to my every growing sewing supplies. The total that it cost me was $0.
Just couldn’t resist sharing!
First Free Sew

I recently joined a group that gets together bi-monthly for a Free Sew. I had no clue what that meant…until I did a bit of reading. We work on whatever project we are currently on or a project you need motivation to proceed with.
That sounded perfect for me…I started a project in November of 2012 and have been at a standstill. What a great opportunity for me to proceed (read: start…the only thing I have done up until this morning is pin everything together after cutting the pattern pieces out). Plus I also get to meet others that are interested in sewing.
I am hoping to post pictures of what I was able to accomplish today. See I have been very apprehensive of patterns and today I am hoping to overcome that. Enjoy what today brings you.
Update: I had to back out of today’s Free Sew due to an illness that hit me suddenly. Makes me so sad as I was looking forward to this for the last month 😦
