The weird part is that I haven't had the energy to share. I love sharing my makes, it makes me happy to think that someone might find inspiration in something I've made. That something I posted put a smile on someones face like so many other posts have done for me. My motivation has changed and I no longer anticipate sharing my latest finished object on insta. The really real is that my head is full of excuses, to post a picture of a garment I've made means I have to model it (but I don't get dressed most days) or find a spot in the house (which is a complete mess most days) lately seems like a real daunting task. I'm writing this in hopes that my mojo will see how silly these excuses look written out and be like "nah, we not going out like that, post that hand knit sweater like the crafty queen you are!" Secretly hoping the minor inspiration I had to write this post will be the stepping stone to sharing more. I bet that's exactly what will happen, I'll share one make and then the flood gates will open and I'll find more and more moments of joy to share. After all, sharing is caring (I couldn't resist),
I always like to include at least one pic so here's one of the projects I'm currently working on. It's the pieces from the Pagosa Pants pattern by Sew News magazine, also available as a Craftsy class. It's a pretty simple pattern so I'm taking the opportunity to work on some butt and thigh alterations. I've never done them before so we'll see if I end up with the fit I'm hoping for. I made a muslin and everything so I'm pretty hopeful. More details to follow (hopefully).
Peace and Love, Chante
