Title: Diary of a Seamstress
Post by: The Seamstress on September 24, 2024, 08:26:43 PM
Sooo I'm opening a thread here for future projects, which will hopefully help get me going and to actually finish something. Ahem. (Nothing to see here yet, sorry.)

I think my main creative endeavours will be sewing & drawing, but there also might be the occasional exceptions to that rule - there are a few things I'd like to learn, like cross stitch or needle felting. Things I've tried so far: pottery (when I was a kid), crocheting (still do), knitting (I'm not made for knitting, that much I know), spinning with a drop spindle, a little embroidery, paper crafts, making little dolls/plushies, painting & collage, comics, creative writing,... And I'm always curious to try new things!

That said, I'm now going to cut pieces of a pumpkin-to-be out of orange velvety fabric, as Spooky Season is just around the corner and my flat needs to be decorated.  :)

Love this! I'll keep an eye on any creative endeavours you post. I don't think of myself as an especially creative person, but I do enjoy creative writing and recently finished a Paint By Numbers of a rainbow lion! Do share photos of your pumpkin when it's ready!

I have also decorated for Spooky Season (mostly via the medium of fake mushrooms and pumpkins in various formats) and started lighting cinnamon scented candles which make everything smell lovely.

Thank you  :)  And of course I'll show you The Pumpkin as soon as it's finished.

Ta-daa! :pumpkin:

It's huge, haha. Well, I enlarged the pattern to twice the original size because it looked so small when I printed it, and this is what I got... huggable pumpkin pillow!
