@npub1y8w…x20n But you started, and that is the hardest part. Right after getting it to do the thing you want 😁

@npub1y8w…x20n Having just sewn stuff in armholes, I am NOT looking forward to necklines and adding sleeves :D I hope you manage to conquer the new thing fear! Just thing of all the pretty rhinestone shirts you could make!
Did you add the design as well?

@npub1y8w…x20n Oh I know she'll use it. Sh was using it before I made it more suitable, I just tidied it up for her :) She's a blanket cat through and through!
Ooooh! That does look pretty! I look forward to seeing what you make with it :)

@npub1y8w…x20n Yes, finishing a project first is always a good plan. Save it from the ufo pile :)
Let me know how it goes, I'm not sure what the machine is that you're going to be using, but I'm intrigued
I have some fabric scraps I want to turn into a couple of bags and hair ties, also I made a cat blanket from shirt scraps that I want to embroider. So one or two things :D

@npub1y8w…x20n That's amazing 😂 😂 At least you don't need to buy more screws!
Will you be attempting to use it today?

@npub1y8w…x20n Oh, and hit me up when you get your screws and I’ll amp you up to tackle your machine again!

@npub1y8w…x20n Noooooo! At least you got a skirt out of it, I guess. Seemed to be a day of running out. On my project yesterday I ran out of bobbin thread, wound that, and ended my white thread supply... Is there a term like yarn chicken for sewing? Cause I lost it XD

@npub1y8w…x20n As someone who has procrastinated with learning to use the sewing machine for YEARS I can relate :D

@npub1y8w…x20n Same 😊 I've been looking for a while, I have to say!
Here's to making things work for us 🥂

@npub1y8w…x20n Yes! I managed to find a way to keep knitting that doesn't hurt, I'll learn little methods as I go along to help. Trial and error, as they say :)

@npub1y8w…x20n
Is hyperextension a problem for you?
I found I broke myself pinning stuff together for machine sewing 😅 embroidery could be interesting- I'm hoping I can do it though
I can knit, but I have had to adjust how; I hold my left arm & hand still & move my whole right arm to move the needle & yarn so that I don't have to bend my wrists or flex my fingers. As a result, If I don't do that, I also get pains really quickly. Luckily hyperextension isn't an issue for me, on top of that

Any #crafters here with #Hypermobility issues?
I seem to be ok #knitting
but I pinned something together and hoo boy, I ache!
Can't wait til my omega 3 gets here!
