Hello people of the internet!
This is going to be the blog post where I make this baby public. So far the blog is very advanced with 2 whole previous posts that no one saw but me. Essentially, I just like to make things, especially if those things don't require lots and lots of sewing skills and following a pattern, or re-threading a sewing machine because I don't know how to do those very well. Which is good because that means you can probably do it too and you obviously should.
I have a pile of projects that I've done over the last couple of weeks and I am going to try to post one a day until I go back to school and I am sucked into a no-fun-black-hole-vortex of science. I have no pictures of me actually wearing anything I've made because Jamie isn't home and I always make her take awkward photos of me posing woodenly and I refuse to document them by doing camera in mirror pictures. no no no.
So here is something: Sew pearls copiously and excessively on the collar of your denim shirts.
They will look something like this when you are done:
It's really super easy and incredibly mindless. All you have to do is get 3 different sizes of pearls from Michael's or Joanne's or something, then get a needle and thread and start sewing them on in no particular pattern. Just vary the size you use and cover the entire collar. This is excellent to do while you are digesting holiday meals, watching Homeland with your roommate, or listening to books on CD - all 3 of which have become my recent favorite things.
P.S - I am reading this book:
And this book:
And they are BOTH SO GOOD. READ THEM.
