Aprons

Thanks to rostitchery, I've discovered that aprons are making a comeback: Kitsch'n" Glam: Collection. Love the kitsch, but oh, the prices! $41.60 for the small apron! Hmmm......Y'know, dh is a garage door contractor and he sometimes sells garage doors that have a mail slot in one of the sections. He told me that people have some pretty crazy set-ups to catch their mail so it doesn't fall on the garage floor to be run over by the returning vehicle. He suggested that I design a container made of net, or the like (something flexible but strong) and sell them. Again I say, "Hmmmmm....." May not be as glamorous or kitschy as these aprons, but, hey! It could happen!. I think I will go surf the net for garage door mail containers..... Oh, wait a minute--I have some wedding sewing to do. Okay, then. I will start my business empire after the wedding, which, by the way, is our new slogan.

Cozy Purple Pop of Color

Cozy purple throws for snuggling!  Adds some color  to the living room.  Thick fleece trimmed straight with rounded corners.  I tried some overcast stitches with my Juki however I couldn't get the look I wanted so I pulled out my serger. Gosh it's been, like 2 years since I used it but luckily it worked (I've had it for quite awhile but I'm still kinda afraid of it 😜).

Oh, BABE-y!

Easter Ensemble

I sewed! I actually sewed! I got this pretty accordian pleated "broomstick" fabric at my first (and only, so far) BABES gathering (BABES is a group of sistah sewists from the bay area who have Pattern Review in common: I've wanted to make it into a skirt for Easter for 2 years and I finally did! Here it is: I've lost 58 pounds over the past 10 months and this is the first thing I've sewed since I started my diet (Atkins). To go with the skirt I bought a knit top (in the misses department, not the Women's department!) and to complete the outfit my sweet girls gave me a gift certificate for a pedicure so I have matching toenails!
