Yes- all those hours that I used to devote to card making, scrapbooking, ATCs have been seriously encrouched on by a new love- sewing!
I really enjoyed sewing when I first learned how back at Roosevelt Junior High School in San Francisco in Mrs. Wells' home economics class. We first sewed an odd little pinny smock which I don't think that anyone ever wore. And for my creative project I made a purple vest. Very hip and groovy back in the early 70's let me tell you!
I couldn't really pursue my sewing more because my mother sewed and had her own business called Peacock Patches. She sewed anything from humble alterations, wedding gowns, to couture Opera gowns for the City's social elite. The home sewing machine- her beloved Bernina was solely devoted to her business.
Flash forward to about a year ago when I decided to try again and took a few classes @ JoAnn's. I soon got tired of the long drive out there and discovered a wealth of instruction on-line from my beloved Professor Pin Cushion to Craftsy. I no longer have my mother to guide me but am blessed to have a mother-in-law who also is a sewiste. So I frequently text her with pix of my latest projects and lots of questions!
So I must admit that an occasional sewing project may end up here as well.
