Sometimes your sewing mojo hits a wall, and sometimes the wall hits you. This Spring hasn’t been great for finished projects — I blame the erratic weather, hot and sticky, wooly sweater cold, rainy — it’s been a roller coaster. It finally settled down a bit and I started a linen top (Zalia by Style Arc) in a lovely shade of blue. I was scheduled for my first cataract surgery, but thought I could make a good start and then finish it off after Few days of recuperation. That was not to be. Complications arose, and it’s been 4+ weeks and my vision is not yet totally clear, although it’s very much improved from not being able to see at all for several days after the procedure.
I’ve managed a few small sewing repairs in the past few days, but still don’t feel confident with “good” sewing and I’m keeping my fingers away from serger blades and rotary cutters for a while longer. Oddly enough, wonky vision doesn’t preclude online fabric shopping — who would have thought? 😀
I’m looking forward to sewing up a simple tee in this lovely cotton jersey from Emma One Sock soon, and there’s a few cuts of solid color linens waiting to be transformed.
It’s so hard to be patient when you’re itching to sew, but hopefully I’ll be back in the work room soon.
