The first 10 days of back to school is sooooo very hectic! You'd think I'd be use to it by now, but it still makes me a wee bit nervous.
So as you've probably guessed not much new garment sewing going on here at all. However, I have been doing some existing wardrobe alterations, repairs and in general sprucing up. I hope to be back to "my slow sewing self" in just a little bit though. But in the meantime these interesting tidbits caught my eye...

Thanks for the heads up about Project Runway.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome Carolyn it's good news for all of us!
DeleteLove that Project Runway will be on again soon. I understand your absence. I have been summer busy too. Best wishes as you prep for the start of teaching a new year!
ReplyDeleteI'm happy Project Runway is on the way too Vanessa. Gives me sewing entertainment for weeks and weeks. Yes, summer happenings got the best of me but now I'm revamping my existing wardrobe in preparation of school starting.
DeleteI totally understand! Take the time you need to do what you need to do. I look forward to another season of Project Runway.
ReplyDeleteYes, one must prioritize. I'm looking forward to PR too. I do hope it is an exciting season.
DeleteI am always stunned when you go back to school the first week of August, even though I know that's how it is in the south. This will be the first year since 1987 when I have not been sending a child off to school every day (college doesn't count), since my youngest starts college August 28th. How did he get to be so old?
ReplyDeleteThat said, have a good start to school; relax and let your school year schedule gradually envelop you. I know your students will love you and your inspirational work!
Congratulations on your youngest starting college Marjie!
DeleteI love that Project Runway and am looking forward to seeing it. Your blog post inspires me as always.

ReplyDeleteSheryll thank you so much for sharing the monthly tips! I know that sometimes I forget or overlook some things and your tips are a wonderful reminder of things that will make my work more polished!
