crafty dreams

I’ve been having sewing dreams again. Sewing dreams so good and thorough that I woke up a couple of mornings ago with a fully-formed, well-thought-out (well-dreamt-out?) pattern for a card holder. You might remember that I made a bunch of these a while ago, but what you didn’t know was that the method I used was so ridiculously convoluted (including all manner of folding and ironing…enough said) that I could not bring myself to sit down and make any more (and I’ve promised them to three people!). Sewing dream to the rescue!

card holders!

more card holders!

I’m ashamed to admit it but it took a dream (!) for me to figure out the very simple, very common sense method for sewing two rectangular pieces of fabric together, described here. Gah! So, anyway, these card holders are up for grabs in the shop, and I’ll keep sewing them until I have another inspirational sewing dream (which I’m really hoping will be about curtains or slip covers or something else I need to learn how to make!).

    Oh! I haven’t been here since the latest redesign. Lovely!

    I think it’s great when dreams solve problems for you. One time when I was moving cross-country, the night before, my dad had a dream how to fill up the back of a truck so everything fit. It worked!

    Those card holders are super cute.
