After making the dress my mom went into the hospital, holidays happened and my sewing machine got pushed back into a corner. I then thought I would get back to sewing last week, but I really don't know where that week went, but it went somewhere. I found out last week that I was going to get this week off as well and my first thought was...Yea, I will be able to sew while the kiddos are away at school. Monday came, and I quickly discovered what a mess my house had become. There were holiday leftovers to clean out of my frig, laundry to do, and a hall closet that needed cleaned up since some stupid mouse had invaded. Ok...Tuesday will be as good as any other...I will start sewing Tuesday. Nope...no such luck. Between laundry, hanging out with my little buddy, Kaden and way too many hours playing on Webkinz, I still got no sewing done. But today...Today I am determined and I have already dusted off the sewing machine. I have a few small projects that need finishing before I start some new big stuff. First thing first...I had to fix Tobi's favorite hat. I don't know how it got ripped, some fight between to little girls, I try not to ask questions. Here is her fixed hat...
Next I finished up Dwayne's 18th century work shirt. I started this shirt before Sari's dress, I was about 80% done when Sari's dress took priority. So, this seriously had to be done, Dwayne has really been wanting this shirt. I will be making one of these shirts for his dad as well, but not today, I need to get some measurements before I start that one. I plan to make a bunch of these shirts to sell this next year at the 1812 re-enactment.
Next will be about 12 large pillows for the youth room. It will have to wait until Friday, because I was just reminded yesterday that I signed up to be a chaperone for a 7th grade field trip...that should be fun.
