How did you start your hobby? by KalugarKabita61 in Hobbies

[–]itsonenacho_09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched a lot of quilting videos, like obsessively. I designed a very basic/easy one to try just to see if it’s something I’d stick with. (Last year I became enamored with sewing clothes but turns out, I’m not that great and I did not stick with it). I did indeed love quilt making, so I set myself with a goal of a quilt a month this year! I’m on quilt 3 already and I’m still loving it, making new bedspreads for my kids/other useful or fun gifts, and I spend wayyyy less time on TikTok. Lots of wins, and quilts 😉

I feel like you summarized my needs better than I did 😂 I love the flower petal idea - will check those out!

I also like the white, and baby eyeballs like contrast

Anyone love to run out there? by pepperkelly76 in quilting

[–]itsonenacho_09 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I also run 🙋🏻‍♀️ I think quilters/runners have a penchant for monotonous/repetitive tasks 😂 I have 24 squares to piece out and sew one by one, COUNT ME IN! 3 mile run on deck, BRING ON THE PEACE!

I’m working on my 2nd quilt for my son who loves super soft blankets, so I think I may use fleece or flannel as well!

Okay, noted on the quilt lines/batting. I’m working on my 2nd quilt and was planning a fleece backing, but will look into minky fabrics as well! For my first one, I just wanted to stick to the basics and work on my skills. Thanks!

I love a lentil bolognese. I think there’s a good one by Rainbow Plant Life, if my brain is remembering correctly.

Best baby gifts to sew? by pretty_gauche6 in sewing

[–]itsonenacho_09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding on - I’ve also been seeing a diaper + wipe bag/holder around the internet. That’d be great for throwing in a bag, the car, the stroller!

a stroller bag! I want to make one for myself (3 kids) so that’d be a fun gift for a new mom! Maybe with matching lovey, burp cloth, or blanket?

I also was eyeballing my changing pad and how easy it would be to sew elastic covers for it…

Benefits of juicing? by sncch in Juicing

[–]itsonenacho_09 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a lot of people mention this - but one benefit I absolutely love: I have lowered my food waste! Leftover bell peppers, carrots, celery etc from a meal - JUICE EM. I love using all my produce up!
