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.

I So Want to Sew

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....

Print Fabric Possibility

Print fabrics are hard for me. I'm afraid they look busy and accenuate curves that are plenty accentuated without any extra help. But since my wardrobe plan calls for a print I've been looking around and I found this one at Vogue Fabrics . It has black, gray, charcoal, pink and purple. I could sure work with it. It's priced right, too--56" wide @ $6.99/yd.
