Sewing?
Hello friends, I did a cursory search but didn't find much. Anyone here into sewing? If you are, what do you generally make? Any pix you feel like sharing?

I have done a lot of sewing for my kids in the past. Once made a proper dress shirt for my son for Christmas when he was 1 yr old. I still got that. It's so small!
Outfits for their Christening, dresses for my girlie, winter coats and whatnot. I sometimes went to the Oilily shop to check out their fancy kiddie clothes, drew a picture of it on a piece of paper, then bought all kinds of fabric and made it myself. My kids seemed to be wearing Oilily without the Oilily pricetag.
But when I divorced my then husband I gave up on it. I simply didn't feel like it anymore.
I still have a sewing machine but hardly ever use it anymore.
If you're into go for it! It's a lot of fun :)

Re. Batsy
Ahh Batsy you stirred up a few good memories re sewing.
When my kids were little we lived in a mining town hundreds of miles from anywhere else so I learnt to sew quick smart cos everything was so expenses.
I made dresses, skirts, childrens clothing and even shirts for my husband and another for my four year old exactly the same, they loved it. I then went on to making all my curtains, cushions, cushion covers, you name it - I made it. I absolutely loved the creative process involved and got a lot of enjoyment from it.
But when we came back to the city I found everything so cheap that it really wasn’t worth the time and effort sewing. But then again maybe I just burnt myself out ha ha
I’m actually very surprised to hear someone like you who is still sewing cos not many people do it anymore. So good on ya. Glad to see someone still getting the enjoyment from it.
So what kinds of things are you making?

I have been sewing since I was about 4 or 5, and I've made pretty much everything to be honest. Right now, though, I am getting into thread painting and quilting. I challenged myself to make a quilt during the pandemic and got hooked. It's so much fun! I mean, it's also hard and challenging at times, but it's a great creative outlet.
Here's one:

Re Batsy
Omg Batsy that is absolutely AMAZING! Just brilliant. I love it!
I don’t know how you have the patience gal. It must of taken you months to get that done. But I guess quilting must be a kind of meditation hey. Probably a bit like I feel when I’m doing a painting. You become oblivious to what’s going on around you and time ceases to exist.
What is thread painting? Can you down load a picture of what you have done. Sounds really interesting.
