The first thing I needed to finish before moving on to other projects was a set of drapes for a friend. Talk about thread matched exactly to the fabric! And the drapes were made of a gauzey fabric. I had to take lots of breaks just because my eyes would get so tired refocusing all the time. But this is a dear friend and I wanted to do these for her. By the time I got to the last pair I had figured out doing a french seam gave them a beautiful backside finish. But Not starting over! I'll press them tonight and take them to work tomorrow.
For eye breaks, I started marking out my pattern for McCalls 5586, a cute and comfortable little top.
But tonight I'll start cutting out a replacement top for a friend's kids swingset fort. 'Simple' straight sewing, but it's size that will be the challenge on this.
Hoping to pick up my car this evening...don't like not having one at my disposal! Quick stop funeral home for a friend who's mother-in-law passed away this weekend, and then home to my beloved little 'studio' and the iron!
