It was definitely not as easy to sew with as regular woven cotton. It was wiggly and stretchy and very difficult to unpick when things didn&#8217;t go right which unfortunately was pretty often. But, it is light and airy and very nice for a summer shirt and now it is finished.<\/p>\n<p>Things have suddenly picked up around here. I am really excited to tell you that I will be going to Nashville in September for the <a href=\"http:\/\/tennesseecraft.org\/events\/craft-fairs\/2016-fall-craft-fair\/\">Tennessee Craft Fair<\/a>, Sept. 23, 24, and 25. So, what should I know about or definitely not miss while I&#8217;m in Nashville? I&#8217;m excited to go since the last time I was there was maybe 1981? I suspect things have changed quite a bit.<\/p>\n<p>Also, I will be doing <a href=\"http:\/\/www.societyofcrafts.org\/cbholiday\/holidayinfo.asp\">CraftBoston Holiday Show<\/a> in December but I will post more about that when it gets closer. Both of these shows have just been confirmed so suddenly I am feeling like I need to get more things made. The last 3 days have been spent cutting out pieces of\/for tattooed men. The studio is getting that crazy mess look.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/8-3-today-1-2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10155\" src=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/8-3-today-1-2.jpg\" alt=\"8-3-today - 1 (2)\" width=\"600\" height=\"399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/8-3-today-1-2.jpg 600w, https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/8-3-today-1-2-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/8-3-today-1-2-451x300.jpg 451w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/8-3-today-1-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10154\" src=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/8-3-today-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"8-3-today - 1 (1)\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/8-3-today-1-1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/8-3-today-1-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/8-3-today-1-1-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Next, I have to cut out some ladies.
