I’ve been sort-of following this whole FreeSewing project thing from a distance for awhile and have occasionally tried directing some folks here, and I have almost gotten going on a couple projects, but have yet to actually do anything. 
Most of my materials have been stuck in storage for the past year and a half or so, too. (It’s okay, I have a bad habit of hoarding but not using them anyway.)
Wanted to go ahead and say hi, though.
I have very little clue what I’m doing, but that hasn’t stopped me from trying to figure out how to make a binder and a duffel-like pet carrier entirely on my own, without any pattern to go by. I actually managed to get to a wearable test of the binder (next goal with it was to try to figure out how to shape it so the tissue would settle into a flatter, more pectoral shape instead of always settling into a rounder shape), but I’ll probably just use one of the FreeSewing patterns if I try to make any more. As for the carrier/duffel, I never got far trying to put the actual fabric together and am pretty sure I’ve lost at least part of my rough paper “pattern” I’d come up with for it.
I also keep meaning to figure out a sort of utility belt (originally for gardening purposes, now more for work), but I have yet to make any move on that. I ended up buying some “good enough” things for gardening, but work is very particular about color. Plus I need to figure out how to keep an easily-accessible water bottle with me without it banging into my legs or something all day, and with some sort of cover to protect the lid from dust and my own dirty hands…
Well… I hadn’t intended to type much, but I do that sometimes. Anyway, hello! I may or may not ever post again?
