do more sewing

...and another influx of projects! (Sale was too good to pass up!) I think I got a good mix of short-term gratification projects and more involved projects. I’ve completed several items this year (t-shirts and shorts, aprons, a dress for my daughter, a tablecloth) and bailed on one (curtains for my son’s room; needed to re-plan this)—and I’ve probably added a dozen!

I also came home with a small, portable sewing machine on which to teach my kids to sew. I’m intent on passing on this legacy! :-)

On my current project that is. I think I will just scrap the cut pieces and store the pattern. I really need to do some curtains. Now… to just find the time to do those.

So I really need to make some curtains… my husband brought this up again as I have put it off for almost a year. I think I know what style to follow but I just need to do it. However, first I should probably finish the shirt I started a while ago… or just scrap the idea. I have put a note in my calendar that I need to either scrap it or be close to finish it by July 4th.

The last thing I did was make some pretty green curtains for my apartment in Winnipeg. Now that I’m back in Texas, and have left all my supplies in Canada, I don’t think I’ll be doing a whole lot of sewing for a while. I need an actual sewing machine one of these days though. I haven’t tried craigslist!

Absolutely no time to sew. And my bedroom is too untidy to find my sewing stuff.

Fixed a pair of pants. I’d say that counts.

For a pair of pants. That’s a good small project for this goal. I hope to do it in the next two weeks. Best hope for today.

I just took inventory of the fabrics that I have in my sewing room….366.91 yards!!! SO, I really need to get serious about sewing again. I need to start work on the sewing for my business, which is my goal for this weekend. I also need to finish up some things that I have for my kiddos…good thing is that CHristmas is taken care of, I’ve organized the sewing room, and I have the paperwork ready to start messing with taxes when it’s time…..

I set aside my sewing for a volunteer project this summer, and only recently “unburied” my equipment. Only managed to tackle the mending so far, but I’m looking forward to spending some of my upcoming vacation time on some fun projects!

The hard part will be choosing which one to start with…

I’m watching Project Runway… does that count? :)

Seriously though, I will excavate the project table. Soon. Really. I promise.
