SEWING LIFE...

...Happy May ya'll!  In preparation of my next project I performed a little sewing room maintenance this morning.  The cutting table only contains "LEGAL" sewing related stuff (which is a miracle).  I even did a much needed 409 wipe down of my white sewing table.  It surprises me how cruddy my sewing table can become - so much dust and thread remnants.

Finished another top for my daughter last night.

Burda 7340

 

Pleated side seam ruching

Tired and work week weary I made a trip to Hancock's yesterday.  What does it take to re-energize a sewer?  Show her some great knit that is REALLY on sale!  Regular $7.99 on sale for $2.99 (96% poly 4% spandex - in glorious spring colors).  I definitely think I can work with these cuts.

The piece that shows up brown is actually an army green.  I LOVE that color!

Please don't tell my budget that I made this purchase; but I simply COULD NOT pass this opportunity up...

SEWING LIFE...

...thank God for leftovers!  It means that I don't have to cook which makes it possible for me to have a little sewing session before turning in for the night. 

Black ITY knit and Burda 7340.  Solid black ITY or jersey knit is a rarity in my neck of the woods.  I would have bought the entire bolt if my budget hadn't been protesting so loudly while I was in the store this afternoon.  And so the KNIT TOP FRENZY continues...
