Today I met Martha, one of my all-time craft idols! On the show, we refashioned two T-shirt projects from the book, Shoulder Chic (#15) and Outer Lace (#16), both no sew projects in the tank top chapter. Then she was nice enough to keep me on for another segment to teach me a fun and easy way of folding a T-shirt. The instructions had been printed on the back of a T-shirt that her producers gave me in advance–here’s a photo of the pillow I made for Martha last night:
And here’s a picture from the set:
And another. Could my grin get any wider?
Observations of my time on the show: 1) Studio audiences can be intimidating–it’s a lot easier when you can’t see the people watching you. 2) Martha was the first host who was tall enough so that I didn’t have to kick off my heels behind the counter. 3) Martha is a fan of Eminem. Seriously, we talked about it during the commercial break!
I’ll try to post a link soon! (And some more behind-the-scenes images to come…)
