Hi everyone! Typhoon is here. It’s been raining since last night..I woke up last night not because Kiko was crying but because the sound of rain was so loud! Andy and I were thinking of going wind surfing this Wednesday, but it seems like we will have to re-schedule it for some other time.
Perhaps because of this crappy weather, I’m feeling tired and not motivated. I did finish a muslin for my friend’s wedding dress, but after that, I was done with sewing for the day.
I picked up this book shown on the left the other day at the library. It is like a sewer’s dictionary – it talks about things you need to know for garment making, drafting patterns, adjusting patterns, different sewing techniques and more. It is a 600 page book! I thought now would be a good time to review and revisit the basics and really go over the proper way of sewing, because I want to make a top notch wedding dress for my friend! So tonight I’m reading this book.
What’s on your reading list? What do you do to motivate yourself on a rainy, gloomy day?
