I finally packed up the last of the holiday decorations yesterday and can, with good conscience, start some projects. The reason it took so long to pack up was that the lights on the artificial tree were out on three branch levels and I was determined to either get it fixed or toss it and start new next year. It took some doing but I finally get everything working using a nifty new tool:
- Hem and alter waist of black slacks for DGD's lovely new suit. She needs it for college auditions starting on Feb. 7.
- Complete embellished apron for DD. I stitched the design formatting linkon the fabric and wrapped it with a promise.
- Make Yet Another Cape for my sister. She wanted one of Zebra print fleece. so I order three yards of this: formatting linkI have made so many of these capes, I should be able to whip this one out in about three hours.
- Embroider my DGS's design on a maroon sweatshirt. The design is digitized, but the sweatshirt I ordered was a disappointment, the fabric shrank, so now the zipper is wiggling. I have a replacement zipper.
- Do some pattern alterations and make a jacket using this: formatting linkIt has not arrived yet, I hope it's wonderful.
- Make placemats, and hem some Christmas napkins for next year; Several small alteration jobs; Dig out the red wool from the stash to make a coat.; Make several Polartec© fleece jackets; Get more pictures added to my web site; .... etc.
