Figment Masks and Bag

Several weeks ago I stopped sewing, I stopped cold. It had little to nothing to do with the pandemic, more to do with immense sadness at the meanness and hate displayed by so many. 

My sister likes Figment. We found a shirt, some socks and some bags at Epcot. I deconstructed one of the bags, just a 12x17" square bag with a drawstring across the top, and created several multi-layered masks and a purse to carry when we visit the parks, which we do several times weekly.

Halloween Masks made it early October

I made my sister and I a couple of masks for October, that match purses I made last year! Won't we be styling as we do our grocery shopping and drive throughs...

 

August Update

It's been a busy spring and summer! I "vacationed", spending weeks visiting family in other states. I went on an Alaskan Cruise, and traveled by train from Seattle to Sacramento, to Chicago, to Washington and then down the coast to Orlando. I lost a dog, built a web site, worked on a business email project, rebuilt this website completely, made and delivered two quilts, and am working on several others.

Quilt started, one that waits

Early in the year, I was advised that simply purchasing fabric that represents licensed content did not mean that I could use that fabric in another product that I was selling. While this made sense to me from the viewpoint of the original owner of the content, it didn't make sense to me from a consumer standpoint, as I personally made no agreement with the content owner in how I would use the the fabric I purchased. 

I recently learned that the Supreme Court appears to agree with the consumer view. While there will be more lawsuits, I am sure, to really define this decision in full, I think it means I can go back to selling my products! I have resurrected my etsy site, and will be getting more of the products I have made out there to be sold.
