I cannot believe it's been over two months since I've posted.
In sewing news, a very good friend of mine is sending me a serger for my birthday. My birthday was 2 months ago but hey, I'm grateful. I am NOT complaining. I am not going to say which serger it is until I've actually used it and can post results. I am so STOKED...um EXCITED!!!! OVERJOYED....o.k., I imagine you get the picture. Have I sewn anything yet, no, but I did put down some shoe molding. Does that have anything to do with sewing?, (thinking real hard) ...um, no. I digress, I guess. I have to organize my sewing area....it's a mess.
Did I mention in an earlier post that I bought some burgundy (or is it maroon?....not sure) stretch knit fabric to make this fabulously stylish top ....It's New Look 6729 http://www.simplicity.com/assets/6729/6729.jpg
It's the version the model is wearing. Since I usually stick with basic colors, I chose the burgundy/maroon color which I think I'll enjoy better than the red the model is wearing. I can also see it in Navy Blue and perhaps a print pattern. I got the idea from Erica's B's blog where she was making a twist top. I wanted to do a top that was different, and stylish, and for me this top fits the bill.
I was reading in Sewl Sista #1's blog that she made her own "Duct Tape Dummy" pretty much by herself so I will try to do it so I can get this (sewing) party started .
O.k., enough. I need to go wash my hair. That has nothing to do with sewing either but still has to be done.
