we have online craft club once a week, alternating friday nights and sunday mornings.

tonight, I made progress on the shirt I am sewing - it took me two tries to pin the bottom band on correctly, and it turns out the hem I took out of it two weeks ago was fine and I could have left it. sewing gets me good and befuddled.

I moved recently and my craft room is set up in the spare bedroom (the sewing machine is set up most of the time!) but it's a duplex, and the sewing machine is near a shared wall. I haven't calibrated how loud is too loud and too late. It's only 8p, but the room is near empty and echo-y and I don't feel good about doing more sewing. maybe tomorrow afternoon.

I need to start another crafting project - I have a cross stitch kit I want to start, but starting things is hard! I have to iron the aida, pick a starter color, and get it going. It will be so much easier once I get the first few stitches in!
