Monday Musings

• Today I'm working on finishing up Butterick 5638. I was nearly finished when I decided it absolutely needed a lining. I've got it cut and ready for stitching.
• I think I'm going to try cutting out several different patterns today. I usually only cut out a new garment after I've finished the previous one.
• I absolutely must make more panties this week. I am in love with the ones I've made and have been wearing nothing else.
• I can tell when my husband loves the outfit I'm wearing. He insists on taking my picture.
• Wish he'd actually learn how to take better pictures.
• This outfit is from Summer 2009 and it still fits...Yippeee!
• Why are there over a dozen pairs of shoes in my sewing room?
• Want to know what frustration is? How about preparing your fabric, laying it out on the cutting table, envisioning how absolutely gorgeous you'll look when you finish the garment only to realize the pattern pieces aren't in the envelope! WTH. Have to wait until patterns are on sale because I refuse to pay full price.
• I teach sewing classes at JoAnns and while I love it, I wished they would allot more time to finish garments. Two classes three hours each is not enough time to finish a Cynthia Rowley dress if you don't have any real sewing experience. I don't get to pick the patterns for my classes!
• It seems I haven't sewn a pair of slacks in forever! Need to remedy that soon.
• Don't you hate it when you put something away to make sure that you can find it when you need it only to realize you've forgotten where you put it...the cable that works for two of my digital cameras!
• Oops. Found it. I moved it and didn't replace it.
• I have to get my teeth cleaned tomorrow. How exciting :{
