Cutting Day

Hi there! Just a quick post to check in. I just wanted to let you know that it's Cutting Day! I have about 2 of these a week. This is the creative time. I think about new designs and items that would expand my line. I stare at my pile of fabric and look through pages of past ideas. Then I take everything to the cutting mat and commit myself to these projects. That's a hard moment - what if I change my mind? It's too late. What if I don't cut enough? Can it be born into something else? What if my machine revolts AGAIN and I have to salvage that beautiful fabric somehow? Ah, the business of birthing sewn babies!

On my table today: one retro apron, 2 handbags with bows, and an idea or two still brewing for Prom handbags. Also thinking about cellphone cases and business card holders. Maybe even headbands, but that might have to wait for next week.
