SEWING, BATHING SUIT PATTERNS & FABRIC, AND LIFE -

Описание: In today's video I talk about what I have been sewing this week and share a quick sewing tip that keeps me sewing pretty regularly. I am also sharing a small Kwik Sew pattern haul, some vintage bathing suit patterns and a little bit about #life too. #Fridaysews hashtag was started by Jen from @Today in Jen's Sewing Room to connect the sewing community and hopefully inspire you to sew too! This week I share the patterns I have been working on, completed, or are on tap for the coming week. I am also sharing a fabric piece I purchased for an upcoming swimsuit attempt! In my #life update I share the recent joys and sadness we experienced during the early part of the month.

****************************************************************

I started this sewing journey three years ago (2017). In the last two years I have lost more than 25 pounds through intermittent fasting. I am more determined now to sew clothes that fit well. Clothes that fit my lifestyle and that I know I will wear. I am also challenging my sewing skill this year with a few fun wardrobe pieces and as I go along. If you are a beginner to sewing or returning after a long time, some of the patterns in this video may challenge your skill. Some will gently refresh your sewing skill and make you feel accomplished! I hope that my channel inspires you to join me on this sewing journey.

I have been intermittent fasting since October 2018. I have lost over 25 pounds and 3 dress sizes. I started intermittent fasting to gain control over my Type 2 Diabetes. I am no longer Diabetic. I fast 20 hours most days and loosen up more on the weekends to enjoy special occasions with family and friends. Intermittent Fasting is flexible and doable. I will be adding more about my intermittent fasting journey in future videos.
