TTMT #547 - nmjewells - April 29, 2025 - (RE)makin' It (crafty show & tell)


This week I'm talking about my current crafty endeavor, which is (re)fashioning clothing, to me it fit better either size-wise or personality-wise. There is no selvage name on the lightweight canvas I'm using to remake these overalls, so I can't share that, sadly. With my new work schedule I think it will be much easier for me to be able to post a video every week, and hopefully also to get more crafty-type stuff done every week.

Stay crafty y'all!

Love,

@nmjewells

This week I talk about my newest addition to the 2025 PP Club Pattern Series, "Silly Scrappy Star", which finishes at 5 inches square. I'll be giving printed copies of this block pattern to attendees of this month's Paper Piecing Club and then next month it will be available to purchase as a pdf download.

Can't come to Paper Piecing Club? You can purchase a pdf download of the first three blocks now.

Stay crafty y'all!

Love,

I spent the most of the last week of March and first week of April in Tokyo with my daughter, Miss P, as I tagged along with her as she traveled there for her study abroad semester. There's a lot more tell than show in this video, but I talk about some of the places I visited with and without her, and show some of the things I purchased.

The Sumida Hosukai Museum

Nippori Fabric Town Official Website

Quilt Party (owned by renowned quilt author Yoko Saito)

Tokyo Sky Tree

Sumida Aquarium

Shorter video next week, I promise!

TTMT #544 - nmjewells - April 1, 2025 - Greetings from Tokyo

 


just a video to say hello from Tokyo. Technically it's Tuesday evening here, but it's very early Tuesday back home in Albuquerque, NM, so I will greet you with Ohaiyo Gozaimas. My daughter Miss P and I arrived last Wednesday afternoon and have been exploring the city together. She is now in her dorm as her Study Abroad semester begins next week and this week she is busy with orientations and the like, so the next few days I will be doing some solo explorations before I head home this Saturday. See you next week! aregato gozaimas love, nmjewells
