Today

Something tells me that some of that was actually FUN for you.....as it is for others in this group.

Chris

Well, yes it was, but hardly the jewel tone silk shantung jacket I'd *like* to have made. ;-} Now if I can just find that perfect fabric I have seen in my mind's eye....

Beverly

Oh good!! You got TWO projects done. And you cleared the decks to make room for fun sewing. Good job, Beverly!!!!!!!!!

Sharon

it is for >>others in this group.

Try these.....

Oooohhh, cool new site for my bookmarks, thanks!

I'm headed over to a couple of local fabric stores today. The fabric I would like to find was walking away from me recently on a stranger. It was a print of several colors of deep burgundy -forest green - dark royal blue paisley. I know I won't find *that* but I'd love something with several colors in a print. I'm tired of one-color jackets, that's all I've been wearing recently.

Beverly

Thanks, but, I'm also counting the finished embroidered shirts for DD, so THREE recent projects are completed. ;-)

And, not to highjack your thread about the "serger oops" on the prom dress, but as I was embroidering the third shirt, the machine was humming along as usual, when suddenly I heard, "chunk...chunk...chunk...". Aaack! One of the sleeve hems was under the embroidery field. That is a risk when working on RTW garments, it's really hard to get the hoop in position and have a clear field to stitch, AND have none of the garment pulled under the hoop. I was able to use my stitch shaver to remove the offending stitches, and finish the job. And the hem was not damaged. Whew!

Beverly

Oh good save!!!! Maybe there is a machine revolt going on and we are just now hearing about it?? ;)

Sharon

If so, we need to organize a counter revolution! ;-)

Beverly

Uhoh..... I think I hear the theme song to Terminator.....
