TTMT #785 – Birds, Blocks, & Daleks

This was one of those weird weeks that felt a month long but also felt like I didn’t do anything while simultaneously doing All The Things. I worked on some machine embroidery, hit my favorite thrift store, Austin Creative Reuse, upcycled a tote bag, and brought home an old favorite project for some much-needed TLC. This little bit of chaos is the result. Stick around to the end for some bird feeder footage!

The Sashiko set from OESD I used for the blocks in this video.

TTMT #784 – Reorganizing for a NEW Embroidery Machine!

2 Replies

Today I’m SO EXCITED to share my clean and reorganized sewing room featuring my newly upgraded embroidery machine!

I spent last week reorganizing my room for my new Brother PR1X single-needle free-arm embroidery machine purchased from Austin Sewing Machines. They made me a great bundle deal with everything I wanted for lower prices than I saw online. I can’t tell you how excited I am for this upgrade!

Not sponsored, I paid for everything myself, I’m just VERY EXCITED about my new machine!
