Manteau de lit made from ikea duvet cover.

Wearing my new IKEA fabric skirt out today. Koji decided to join me for this picture. I really hate this portion of the fence behind me so I’m off to get spray paint. . . . . . #ikeafabric #homesewn #homemadeclothes #homemadeskirt #ootd #houstonfashion #sewist #sewistofinstagram #artofinstagram #houstonartists #maskup #maskupbutmakeitfashion #matchingmask #textiles #kojidog #puppiesofinstagram (at Houston, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKMnIauA65U/?igshid=icxbu7sdk16n

Yesterday I mentioned I was finishing a skirt in my stories. Here it is done! I also cut my hair off! . . . #homemadeskirt #ikeafabric #ootd #homemadeootd #ebdfamily #eyebuydirect #torridjacket #sewing #sewist (at Houston, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIbfSf8gsLo/?igshid=1lgzwyg25iwte

I’m feeling the Fall/Thanksgiving vibes. Even though the husband and I are not doing anything this year except some video calls I’m ready for the holiday season. Today’s #ootd is one of the first skirts I ever made. It is made with some older IKEA fabric. My shirt is a recent acquisition from @modcloth I must have liked it so much that this morning I realized I ordered 2 😂 . . . #homemadeskirt #ikeafabric #mymodcloth #modcloth #ebdfamily #eyebuydirect #diymask #homemademask #sewing #maskbutmakeitfashion #maskup #maskupbutmakeitfashion #homemademask #sewingmasks #diymask #facemask #maskon #mask #sewist (at Houston, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CH-7ByzAQmJ/?igshid=1419muedmefl0

I’ve been asked quite a bit recently why I’m making so many masks, if I’m selling them, and if not what am I doing with them. Nope, I’m not selling them. Or at least I’m trying not too. They have mostly all gone to family, friends, and coworkers. When I have had some extra from a batch I have hung them on our condos notice board for neighbors. For the people that wouldn’t give in and did pay me, that money went to buy elastic and wire. I honestly don’t feel comfortable making these for profit. For one, I know people need them and can’t necessarily make them themselves. For another, knowing they aren’t going to be the same amount of protection as a proper manufactured mask makes me uncomfortable taking payments for them. Maybe when things even out and people feel like that have more of a choice then my perception will change 🤷‍♀️ but for now I will continue to make and mail out packages to friends and family in need as much as I can... . #ikeafabric #diyfacemask #sewistsofinstagram #facemask #stayathome #stayhomeandsew #maskon #getmasked #sewTogether #sewist #sewingmasks #sewingfacemasks #inthistogether (at Houston, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_BuGligFom/?igshid=1vb2b2sxe9jq5

Parts of today almost felt normal. The weather is nice so the windows have been open. While I was pinning this elastic it felt like a calm weekend where I’ve chosen to craft away the day. I think I’m just going to enjoy this calm feeling while it lasts and not over analyze it. Stay safe, take a deep breath, and enjoy those calm moments when they happen... . #ikeafabric #diyfacemask #sewistsofinstagram #facemask #stayathome #stayhomeandsew #maskon #getmasked #sewTogether #sewist #sewingmasks #sewingfacemasks #inthistogether (at Houston Tx City-state) https://www.instagram.com/p/B--7_xBAbAP/?igshid=9l9kcvxxzbt

While I feel like I’m not making progress fast enough, I did stop and take a bit of time for myself today. I also finally managed I make the husband a mask that fits. I swear I’ve gone through like 6 versions for him. I’ll keep up the routine of wake up, work, and sew...although at some point I should probably clean the house a bit...🤔 . . #ikeafabric #diyfacemask #sewistsofinstagram #facemask #stayathome #stayhomeandsew #maskon #getmasked #sewTogether #sewist #sewingmasks #sewingfacemasks #inthistogether (at Houston Tx City-state) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-5tHQBAKg4/?igshid=1gpojt0qtjq7z
