Yes, I'm actually posting twice in the same month. I'll wait while you get off the floor. So apparently one of the best ways to kickstart a missing sewjo is to write a blog post about how little desire you have to sew.

I'm just not loving what's available at the moment ( this "moment has been going on for months! ). And while I still have a substantial stash, even it is pretty ...
