Work Before Play...

Brynwood Needleworks - Destiny Before Cleaning

I started the day choosing linens, linings and tapes to create new project totes. Once I'd chosen everything, I cut out the fabrics, stabilizers, tapes and pulled hardware It took me most of the morning, but by lunchtime, I was ready to start sewing.

Brynwood Needleworks - Destiny Being Cleaned

After I've been giving Destiny a workout, I always stop to change needles and and then I check "under the hood" to see if I need to clean out the "foop".    Man, it was a dusty, fuzzy mess in there, so I needed to take the time to do a  little maintenance before I could start working on the next line of projects.

Brynwood Needleworks - Destiny Clean!

It took about an hour of careful attention, but I got Destiny back to normal.

Brynwood Needleworks - Destiny "Sparkling"

She was really sparkling "all under" when I was finished - and chomping at the bit to start something before the end of the day. I was glad that I'd kitted all my fabrics and supplies. All I had to do was choose which one I wanted to do first.

Brynwood Needleworks - Medium Linen Butterfly Project Tote

This one is heading over to my Etsy shop right now. By the end of the day today, there  will be four more - in some gorgeous, hand-dyed linens. Destiny and I are up to it!
