Wish I had a project to show you but I sadly do not.
It’s been almost a month since the move and I’ve finally gotten completely unpacked. On the second Saturday after our arrival, I felt that I’d unpacked enough to have a little fun and went into my sewing corner. That’s when I made a horrific and demoralizing discovery. The movers had indeed lost some things, namely, 3 or more totes of clothes and t-shirts from my sewing corner. Financially, it isn’t a big deal since these were yard sale and cast off items to reconstruct but emotionally it was quite a blow since there were about 10 items in the pile that had sentimental value including an altered sundress from my childhood that was waiting for a drawstring repair, the first thing my DH, who was then my boyfriend, purchased for me and some sentimental baby clothes that I was using in a scrapbook.
All my sweatshirts, t-shirts(over 40!), skirts, leather jumpers, wool and cashmere sweaters, blankets, fleece pullovers, nylon and lycra items, and repair items including a full length tweed coat are gone. 
I now have a mere 5 t-shirts and two bed sheets in my “to reconstruct” pile. The loss threw me off so bad that I haven’t been able to go back into the sewing area and try to make anything. I have some great vintage patterns and totes of actual fabric yardage so I could make something from a pattern for a change. And that would be a huge change. It’s been at least 5 years since I worked from a pattern. And that worries me. My last project didn’t turn out well and I scrapped it.
So boo-hoo for me. It’s hard to feel excited about making something when I keep thinking of the loss of the projects I was working on. *sigh*
So sorry to hear about the loss of treasures during your move. I once gathered a bag of vintage and very nice fabric scraps for one of my sisters and her husband threw them out with the trash. I felt such a loss over it, so I can just imagine how you must be feeling. Take care and hope you start feeling better soon.
How awful to lose all those items!!! A move alone is exhausting, but dealing with such a loss, especially of the irreplaceable items, would be awful. Sending you a cyber hug.
What a bummer!I had a drapery shop and was saving certain color scraps and when left on his own my hubby was cleaning the shop and threw them out..It took me awhile to be civil to him as it had been a couple of years project in organizing and saving.I was going to make a quilt for the king size bed.Oh well life went on.
Please don’t let this mishap keep you down. I understand abotu losing things. I have gone throw something like that but in my case I lost everything. I allowed it to eat me up for years. I finally had to let it go because I wasnt doing myself any good.
Just think your in a new place and you will have new and much different yard sales to go to … I know its work but you can re do your stash of clothes and things.
Stay positive and keep sewing… your stuff is wonderful.
I have just discovered your blog today, July 12. 2012, and am so excited about your ideas. I plan on making your garden gloves as soon a possible. And I took a ripped sheet off our bed today, and once washed up, will make up a bunch of blue napkins, which will match the blue of my stained glass chandelier above my kitchen table. Thanks so much for the great ideas!! I look forward to your next posts. I can see that your e-friends really love and miss you. Please hurry back!!! We need you!!!!
