On Friday, I worked on getting the edges of the blankets that I had cut out finished so that I could start preparing for the second part of my project. I’m pleased with how the blankets turned out and I hope that they help the charity that they’re going to go to, but I’m happy to move on to a more selfish type of sewing. I’m planning on spending equal amounts of time sewing projects for charities and also garment sewing. Since I don’t think I’m talented enough to pull a Project Runway and just make up a pattern to follow and have the outcome actually look good, I spent a lot of time looking on the internet and at fabric and sewing stores for free patterns to work off of. I’m actually really surprised at the number of patterns that the good people of the internet have just uploaded by themselves for people to work off of. I’ve also had to make sure that they’re within my skill level and that I’m not going to bite off a more difficult pattern that I can chew and actually complete. I think that I found three promising ones, so I’m excited to start work on them tomorrow!
