When Cabin Fever Hits, Grab Yourself Some Tapestry !

For some, the colder and often restricting weather of the seemingly never ending winter season can lend to feelings of restlessness, lack of motivation, and even cabin fever. For others though, being hunkered in while Winter is in full swing can create just the right setting for some serious sewing. In fact, starting or completing sewing projects while waiting for the fullness of spring can be just the perfect remedy for the ‘winter blues’ that occasionally blow in and sometimes stay. My testimony started with a winter storm and some tapestry.

Novelty Fleece for Winter’s Last Chill

Winter Scene by cliff1066image by cliff1066

The weather is still quite cold where I live. I often go for a brisk evening walk, braving the cold, just to get a bit of fresh air after spending the entire day indoors.  My daughter usually tags along and so our walks require quite a bit of bundling to ensure we stay toasty as the wind whips by. Our fleece scarves, hats and mittens are must-haves for winter’s chill.

There is nothing like making a project with fleece, it’s so soft and warm. I can’t wait to get my hands on some and sport the finished project! Check out some of my favorite novelty fleece below, along with my project to-do list!

When we think warm, we think of two things: plaid, and fleece. This fabric combines both of these things into one cozy, colorful pattern.

J&O Celebrates Christmas in July!

When December winds blew and snow piled high on the ground, thoughts of warm sandy beaches and the hot sun shining down on us melting the chill away stayed on the minds and wish lists of many. Now that the blazing rays of summer are here, longings for cooler days and the festivities of the winter season fill our imaginings in such a delightful way, we can hardly wait for the season to come back around again. But with almost four more months to go and global warming on the rise, our wish lists seem so far away….until now!
