Sewing Inspiration

Share:

I’m sewing like crazy to get ready for the holidays, and sometimes a little inspiration is in order to keep things moving along.

I know, it’s still summer, but last fall I made myself a promise, and I’m determined to keep it! Every fall/holiday season, I feel like I’m drowning as I keep up with shops and festivals where I’m selling my stuff, and every year I tell myself that next year, I’m going to start early. Seriously, this has been happening for years, and this time, I mean it.

So! I’ve got a goal amount of product that I want to have finished before the fall festivals and holiday shopping rush get here, and I’m working towards that every week. I started a few weeks ago, and I have to admit that sometimes it’s hard to sit down to sew something now that I probably won’t need until the weather cools off. My brain nags me with other things it wants to do, like sit on the porch with a beer or read my book or watch reruns of Dr. Who.

Do you ever have a hard time getting into the sewing groove? I thought a little bit of sewing inspiration might help kick my butt into gear, and in case you’re having a similar problem, I wanted to share it with you guys!

• I’m loving this beautiful photo of thread from Sarah @ pingsandneedles. It looks like candy!
• Who can resist beautiful, vintage buttons? These lovely finds from The Shopping Sherpa are rocking my socks.
• The vintage fabric from thisvintagechica is just lovely.

• How cool is shimelle’s vintage sewing basket??
• AForestFrolic lays out her sewing notions so beautifully!
• And, of course, in-progress photos like this one from Polkadot Creations never fail to inspire.

What about you guys? How do you get inspired when there’s sew much to do?
