It's Getting Closer

The wedding is just under 3 weeks away and I feel slightly sick to my stomach.

All I have left to do on my suit is tack down the facing and give it a good pressing.

I'm disappointed in my frou-frou purse--I put the zipper in backwards at first (both sides look the same--how was I to know?) and spend a half-hour trying to put the slider back on. Plus I'm not too crazy about the purse's shape. But I like the pattern and the suggested uses by the author (who happens to live in the same town I do). One of the uses is a jewelry bag for travel and I sure need one of those. I will use the MoB purse, though--it's not that bad.

I hope-hope-hope I can get the last bmaid skirt altered and the last few modesty panels finished tonight. Then I will have met my goal of being finished with the sewing by March.

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 😜).

Crafty Stirrings

My sewing stuff has been packed up for quite awhile and I miss it! It was packed up to make room for a season of extended visits by family which we have truly enjoyed so it was a worthy trade-off. Family visits will be done in a few weeks and in the meantime we decided that we'll be moving into a different house a few weeks later, so my sewing and craft things (other than sewing-related stuff I have just a few jewelry-making and scrap-booking supplies) will remain packed until it's arranged in our new abode. Focusing on family and transition decisions has taken up my mental space so it's just now, as I begin creating the vision of our next home I'm looking forward to having a sewing space again.
