TTMT #585 - nmjewells - April 21,2026 - Sewin' and Shoppin' (Crafty Show 'n Tell)


I recorded this yesterday but never got around to editing and uploading. I really need to get back to filming a day or two early. This week I talk about taking a class to made a simple pair of pj pants (100 Acts of Sewing, Pants No. 1), and, um, buying more fabric. But it's so cute! And it has cute cats! I couldn't help myself.

Fabric I talk about in this video: Classic Movie Monsters, Furruit Platter, Kokka Fabrics

Stay Crafty Y'all,

Love,

TTMT #584 - nmjewells - April 7, 2026 - A Bit Patchy (crafty show & tell)

 


This week I'm back in the Project Room and I've got something finished! I patched jeans that have been in my mending pile since it got too cold to wear jeans with a giant hole, lol. I'm super excited with how they turned out and excited to finally start putting this new-to-me machine through it's paces and see what it can do. The fabric I used was from my bin of cat-themed quilt fabric (yes, I have a whole container of cat-themed fabric, lol). one of the things I really wanted to do this year was use that bin of cat fabric. I do plan to design a quilt for it, but this seemed like the perfect craft for a scrap from that bin. It was really easier than I even expected it to be.


As always, stay crafty my friends,

Love,
