What to sew, what to sew

This has been a question lingering on my mind for the past week. Who am I kidding? This has been the question on my mind since I first picked up a sewing needle. The internet is a w-o-n-d-e-r-f-u-l resource, isn't it? You want to know how to make something you simply type it into Google. Hit Enter. Bam. Three-hundred billion sites full of useful information on how to do just what you are looking for. Great huh?

No. This is exactly my problem.

Google

------- And the over abundance of helpful websites.

This makes it impossible for me to make a decision. It is much easier to blame this on Google. We have a very complicated love/hate relationship. Google, why must you be so exceedingly helpful? Instead of just quickly finding how to make a circle skirt (344,000 results) or a pillowcase dress (35,100) or whatever random sewing project I can think up that day---I get lost in the thousands upon thousands of websites and before I know it—the entire day is gone and I have nothing to show for it except for a sore bum from sitting at the computer for a shameful number of hours.

Great.

However, this is good news for you! How, you ask? Well, thanks to this horrible addiction of mine, I have accumulated a smorgasbord of delicious projects that I will never actually have the time to complete. Or I might have the time to complete if I'd ever get off sites like Wiener Dog Tricks, Sew Mama Sew, Lolly Chops, Tallgrass Prairie Studio (to name a very few) and actually sew. Oh well, over the next few days/months I am going to start adding these under the "Need Inspiration" header (which should be located right over to the right ---->)

Or somewhere in that general vicinity.

Keep an eye out. Also, if you have any great sites and don't mind sharing please email us at: seamstome.hopkinsco@gmail.com.

Thanks, hope to hear from you!

I have that exact same disorder! If I spent as much time sewing as I do googling projects, I'd have a house full of wonderful handmade goodies!
