Not much sewing going on at Casa Danvillegirl. Motivation to sew has been somewhat lacking. I only have to hem the McCall's top and I will have a new one to wear. I just turned up the hem a moment ago and totally lost interest in sitting down to sew.
I thought I would just take a moment to post something on the blog; unfortunately blogging has been neglected some also. I am not a big fan of winter and I can feel the winter blues at the moment. Yesterday we had a glimpse of spring and today temperatures plummeted. I know compared to some others this is hardly winter.
I have made it through January and 5 days into February without buying a pattern. I have been very tempted as new ones keep cropping up. Since I am not feeling the mojo to sew I have in the past purchased patterns. I am telling myself no sewing mojo no patterns. Trust me I have a lot to motivate me when the sewing muse hits again.
Later.

I'm feeling a bit the same way Linda, only here it is not winter. What I do during these periods is make myself sew a little bit - just one seam, or overlock a piece. Not always easy to do when you are feeling low, but it helps to maintain some sewing momentum which in turn helps when the mojo returns.
ReplyDeleteI think it is the transition of seasons.I like what you are suggesting. Sometimes walking into my sewing room just pushes the thought of sewing. Last night I pulled out lots of patterns to try to motivate me to select something to sew next.
DeleteHi Linda,
ReplyDeleteI know you feel. I have plenty of time to sew, but I am having a difficult time motivating myself to do something. Good luck.
Thanks, Cennetta. I am playing around in sewing room, hemmed my top that I had started and feeling a little more like sewing.
DeleteI remember those Virginia mountain winters...and miss them. But even here in sunny Florida I lose mojo. You are so productive in your sewing, no wonder your brain took a break!
ReplyDeleteI lived in Lakeland, FL for nine years and I remember my winters there, loved them!!!! I know we all have moments of lack of sewing interest.
