Insomnia

Last night I finally turned out my light at 1am knowing my daughter would wake in 6 hours time. As I lay there my mind floated to the lounge I had just been rearranging. Again. I found the perfect t fit for my sewing machine and set about making it a tiny sewing haven. For some reason in the recesses of my mind I thought about the cheap IKEA curtain liners I had kept hold of for 6 years (yes, 6 years. Once a hoarder, always a hoarder). My mind started visualising my lounge and this IKEA fabric and bingo ~ sofa cover! I began wrestling the pattern and dimensions in my head and then forced myself to shut down and sleep. Fast forward to tonight and I'm giving it a go! It's half done and I've made a mistake which is not too obvious and most of all, its so fun and very satisfying. I have just worked out that 1 year ago I made my first dress for my daughter and since then I've managed to make 3x. Dresses, 2x trousers, 1x poncho, 1x top and half a sofa cover! Once you get the basics the sewing world really is your oyster. Go for it! Make that thing that's been on your mind. Right trying for a bedtime this side of today. And still have laundry and the food to pack up. I think I'll be grabbing my frozen coffee icecubes to chuck in my drink bottle tomorrow as I dash out of the door in a mad rush. Night, slept tight and dream of patterns.
