I'm not about to change that (production line sewing...yuuurk).<br />I read something a while ago about only taking on projects that give you joy. This is about the hems, zips and buttons, not school concert stuff which ends up in a great, fun production. I do mending and alterations for family and dear friends. No one else. So many random people want me to sew stuff for them. "Can you make a cushion exactly like this one?","Can you fix this for me?", "If I get you the pattern can you sew this up for me?". I've HAD to hone my "no" skills or be swamped by sewing from people I hardly know.fiveandtwohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01633785345752207801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31191208.post-89959102558876218872011-09-14T10:26:44.633+10:002011-09-14T10:26:44.633+10:00I had to make about 20 sets of cow horns for a Pre...I had to make about 20 sets of cow horns for a Prep concert one year. It only involved painting...and I suspect "I can't paint" wouldn't have cut it. Although I never did go to kinder, so perhaps I could have pleaded ignorance of the finer art of wielding a paint brush?<br /><br />You're a good woman doing all that sewing.Fairlie - www.feetonforeignlands.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00145612102935177016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31191208.post-88590733743106328602011-09-14T09:32:38.223+10:002011-09-14T09:32:38.223+10:00Last week the kid volunteered me to demonstrate pl...Last week the kid volunteered me to demonstrate playing the violin, and instrument I haven't played regularly for 15 years.

All you need to do is sew a few things. I would have gotten the inches AND had to sew. That's my luck. :)Aunty Evilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18433383999833031264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31191208.post-29743649934407142832011-09-13T16:16:30.541+10:002011-09-13T16:16:30.541+10:00You do know that this only leads to taking up pant...You do know that this only leads to taking up pants, repairing zippers, and sewing on buttons for every person you know???CurlyPopshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02073292585833387749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31191208.post-72419624819366549002011-09-13T14:57:46.353+10:002011-09-13T14:57:46.353+10:00Heh, BTW, great seeing you at Cream Camp xxHeh, BTW, great seeing you at Cream Camp xxlibrarygirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08417889399020548301noreply@blogger.com
