I've been sewing a lot lately, mostly clothing for myself.
And as much as I hate selfies, especially the camera-in-hand type, sometimes that's the only practical way to get a finished project photo.
My husband isn't always available to take the photos and even when he is I'm reluctant to hand him the camera.
For one thing having an audience makes me nervous, but then there is also his tendency to pretend he's Joe Fashion Photographer and he starts calling out "Werk it, Werk it!"
And though I know he's trying to be helpful, make me laugh and lose the "resting bitch face", it still feels terribly awkward. With no immediate feedback I never know if any of the multitude of shots he's taken are any good. So --
Camera in hand selfies today.
And look! If I try hard enough I sometime even remember to smile -- without the "Werk it, werk it!".
That last project is another "upcycle", this time a lace trimmed sheer curtain becoming a "shirt extender" and a gauzy scarf.
