So...hot weather we've been having
huh?!

Too hot some might say for sewing? I'm
not convinced – I personally managed to sew a dolly quilt while it
was a blazing 45C outside;(and about 43C inside as our A/C decided
that the hot weather was a good time to take a wee holiday!

I do admit though that my leather
sewing chair was not a place I wanted to spend too long sitting
during the high peak of the heat – I was much happier downstairs in
the cool relief, resting? No PREPPING!
You see I found this last couple of
weeks the perfect time to prep upcoming work. To do all those horrid
jobs that we hate to do so that we can get to the fun part of
actually sewing and creating something.

So this week I printed patterns, traced
pieces and cut fabric. Then put everything in neat little bags ready
to sew up when the weather allowed. It also gave me some much needed
time to organise fabric (wash it too...dried in minutes!) and realise
that I have WAAAAAAY too much fabric – though I'm not ready to
admit to an addiction just yet!

So the heat may have been horrible and
long lasting – but it wasn't unbearable. Sewing days are planned
now in advance and all those little jobs that would have taken half
my sewing time away from me are already done! So next time a hot
front is forecast...close the blinds, draw the curtains, look out the
patterns and prep prep prep x
I would like to send a special thanks
to the wonderful fire fighters who in my books are true hero's for
what they do everyday and while I was busy prepping they were busy
saving lives – Thankyou! ♥
My signing off advice when you're
hot..have some ice cream – or better yet sew some up!
