So you’ve all seen this #sewingdares nonsense swooping around the internets, yes? Blame Gillian— it’s alllllll her fault. Well, in my hubris, I dared Oona to finally sew a shirt for Ruggy, which naturally led to me accepting a dare from her. THIS MADWOMAN DARED ME TO LET HER CHOOSE THE FABRIC FOR MY NEXT MOOD SEWING NETWORK PROJECT. Obviously, I don’t back down from a dare, so we set a date and headed to Mood this weekend to decide my fate. But shopping is WAY more fun in a group, so the ridiculously cool Suzanne, Wanett, and Peter joined in on the madness.

As you can see, we had a great time!
Does Wanett not OWN the color yellow??
We tore through the store laughing, shrieking, and petting bolt after bolt of fabric. I think we terrified all the poor Mood employees! (Thanks for all your help, Kendrell and Eric!)
No, girl, YOU totally look prettier!
Oh, and we took LOTS of pictures. After much deliberation, a fabric selection was made (and I’m only a little terrified). I’ll reveal the project next month– hold your breath and WAIT ANXIOUSLY.
Peter’s a summer, def.
After Mood, we popped a squat, had a bite to eat, and chatted for AGES. Friends, I don’t want to make you even more jealous, but these folks are smart, cool, interesting, and FUNNY. I’m so grateful to have met such a great group of peeps.
To summarize: A) it was the best day EVER. B) I’m a little scared to make the Oona Dress of Doom And/Or Destiny. PRAY FOR ME. C) If you’re ever in NYC, for the love of all that’s holy, schedule a meetup, dood!
