Sewing Table Update
So many family things going on right now, getting kiddos ready to start school (next week!), and getting myself ready the 25th of this month! I will guarantee that once I start school my sewing really diminishes since free time becomes so scarce. I am trying to finish the projects I have cut out from my last post.
Completed is the black/lime green/baby blue outfit made from Simplicity 3515 . The outfit is in the wash to clean up all my markings, as soon as it washed I’ll get a picture of it on T, and do a complete review here and at Pattern Review.
Almost done is the black/fuchsia outfit made with Simplicity 2944. The dress is complete; the vest is on the sewing machine. I should have this done in just a few hours of dedicated time!
While I was sewing, I have been listening to books on my MP3 player. I had wanted to try this for a longtime, but the house arrangement made it hard to accomplish. Now that we have re-arranged a few things, and I bought dedicated speakers in my sewing area, I can plug my MP3 player into the speakers and listen while I sew. I listened to John Grisham’s book The Summons, then I listened to James Patterson’s book Honeymoon, and am presently listening to Mary Higgins Clark’s book No Place Like Home. The Mary Higgins Clark book is much bigger obviously, as it had 9 CD’s compared to the 5 & 6 of the other books. I like the unabridged books, so it is word for word as if reading the book. I am really enjoying listening to the books! I so miss reading, that putting two my favorite pastimes together is wonderful. I bought these books a couple of years ago, just never got it worked out to really listen to them. I hated having earphones in while I was sewing as they kept getting in the way! I’ve been looking at some sites that allow you do download books for your MP3 player or computer, so I can keep listening to them! I say that now, but once school gets started I always have so much to read and reading that isn’t on any audio formats :cry: spoiled huh?
In a few days I’ll update my completed projects with pictures!
