Lots of to-dos were crossed off the list today. Dh and dd worked hard on moving her furniture to the apartment, and she helped to ready the house for visitors. The baby's dress is finished. The bridesmaid's wraps were finished. Making the wraps (mere rectangles of white chiffon edged with a picot stitch on the serger) was the only sewing-related wedding project that actually went as easy and fast as I thought it would). The slideshow is finished and several copies have been burned to CD. All in all, I'm about where I hoped to be now. Mom, sis and the baby arrive tomorrow night! Whee!
The pattern is cut out and pressed, the cutting mat is laid out on the table, and pre-washed fabric calls out to me. What is missing? TIME, that's what! And if there's a little time to be had there has been NO ENERGY left to git 'r done. But things are picking up and I hope to have 4 dark blue knit work shirts made this weekend for dh. I just bought him a coupla pair of olive green 'Big Daddy Cargo Pants' at Penneys. Finding work pants for Dh that fit, are comfortable and don't rip the first day on the job has been an adventure. These pants look great on him and they are stretch twill! Yay! I had picked up some black and brick-colored knit collars at The Place That Sells Sewing Machines but now I have olive-colored pants...what to do? Here's what: I'm going to try and find matching olive knit or woven material to use on the work shirt placket and (maybe) collar! How coordinated he will be! Oddly, dh doesn't seem as excited about this as I am....
