What's Upper!

Hi everyone! Vacation was great! It was so great to not have anything planned. We really enjoyed ourselves. We had a very lovely anniversary last week as well. No sewing took place (yeah, I'm sad about that) but it was for a good reason. Hubby helped me rearrange my sewing room so I'll have pics to post for that. We painted and I was able to catalog (still doing that) and get an inventory of what i have. That was great, it just took a really long time to do it. So all of the fabric is counted I just need to finish stapling the swatches to my index cards and finish the descriptions of everything. Yesterday I helped hubby organized the garage. Tossing out things that we don't need anymore and moving shelves around. Oh well... back to reality! It's early in and early out for me today (doc appt). So I'll get a jump start on everything again today. I have to finish painting my sewing room, we got a really pretty green paint (my favorite color) from the OOPS selection at Lowes. So maybe I'll be squeezing in some sewing this week. We'll see!

Rat Poop!

Andrea, that was for you!
Our meeting is cancelled! Now what am I going to do? Oh I know I could just finish up the OTHER stuff that I have going on this week. And maybe i'll get a pedicure too. Still looking forward to that vacation!

This weekend...

This weekend we meet again! I still have slopers to do, a pair of shorts for mom, laundry that just can't wait another day! Today I shall try my hand at these tasks and see what I come up with. Next week I'm on VACATION! It is mine and Hubby's 10 year anniversary! Whoo Hooo! Hubby and I have not planned anything! Whoo Hooo! So I'm planning on sleeping in late (yeah right, the noisy dog) and doing some sewing until I hear differently.

Finished Projects from the Summer of 2007

I just wanted to post some pics that I found and I didn't know that I still had.

1st here is a lime green skirt that I drafted from PMBv3. This is a flared gored skirt, the flare is set on the highest setting (8). It also has a waistband. This skirt was also done in black. I'll try and get some pics of that one since I'm wearing the black one today. In this pic hubby and I are celebrating his 34th birthday. So I'm rushing because we have reservations and I didn't remember about taking pics until we were about to leave and it was either now or when we got back home and the pretty lime green skirt would have been wrinkled, and boy do I hate being wrinkled!

2nd here is a pic of a skirt that was also done in PMBv3. This skirt is gored with no flare and godets have been added. The godets are in two lengths. The shorter ones are in the front and longer ones are in the back. Note to self: Next time put the longer godets in the front and the shorter ones in the back so that my C-Curve is not as obvious. I know there is no hiding it but GEE just wait until you see the pics from the backview. Also this skirt is not worn in these pics so I'll also snap this one as well. Also check out the details that I did to the hem! I'm so proud! These are just regular stitches that I found on the machine. I used silk thread so that they would shine. I cut the remaining part of the off as close as i could to the last stitch. I didn't put any frayblock on it because this is a denim fabric and i wanted it fray very nice and it does. This one was was also done in hunter green (my favorite) and a light tan (lighter than khaki) that has the prettiest drape. I'll try and get pics of these as well since Hubby bought a tripod, so now I can take pics of myself and not have to wait until Mr. Demille (Sunset Blvd) is up to it.

The Prom Dress

Here are the pics of the infamous prom dress. I took pics of her in and out of the dress. This dress was made in PMB4. I used the the halter dress with the mid-drift design and made straps to criss-cross in the back, the skirt is A-line and floor length. The dress was made in white crepe and the mid-drift section is made of lime green satin.

Giving it another go!

Trying out this blog thing again....
I just finished a prom dress. Will post pics very soon. It nearly drained me and I can't see anything in my future except for moving my sewing room around yet again. And then I can post pics of that when I'm done with that. I've got a sewing meeting next week on the 17th and I'm supposed to have some slopers done before. Yeah right! I just can't see doing that right now either, especially if this room isn't done by the weekend.
