Well, I finished the most recent flag order (garden flags with the school mascot on it) and decided to tackle 2 projects that only recently came to my attention. The first was replacing a zipper in H's coat...it was missing a couple of teeth and the zipper pull broke earlier this week. Trouble was finding the correct length and the same material (metal versus plastic). Well....didn't find the metal, but found the correct length in a plastic toothed zipper. put it in and now he can wear the coat again.
Next project was repairing his safari-style jacket - yeah, right!! To repair it would make it more patches than actualy coat!! So...I'm currently in the middle of deconstructing it to use the original coat as a pattern for a completely new coat!! Thisis a first for me, and it is extremely nerve-wracking as the coat is actually 20 years old and instead of seams coming apart, the farbiuc is coming apart. Ah well, I suppose I might actually get it all taken apart and start putting the new one together sometime around Thanksgiving...at least the way things are currently going.
In my off time I am creating a new wardrobe for myself.
