Free sewing is just like free writing, or doodling, or riffing on a guitar. It's just letting it flow, you know? I didn't look at the time, or anything, just joined 2 pieces here and a few more pieces there. I did lay some out so I could make larger squares kind of crazy quilt style. I did top stitching with thread from the vintage wooden spools. I kept going and emptied all the tread on quarter threaded bobbins. It was wonderful. Just sewing without any pressure, or plan. I honestly can't say that I have done that really. I do a lot of just cut and go and figure it out along the way, but there's still that pressure of wanting a product at the end. This was much more free. I didn't have to worry about the size of the pieces or anything. I did put it all together with what I had so far so here it is.
I already find myself wondering what else I will do with it. Who knows, maybe nothing. I guess that's the beauty of it. Do you free sew? I would love to see what you have done. :-)
