Another Sewing Day

I whipped up another skirt today . This is a casual straight skirt ,made from brushed twill , should be warm , for this weather we are having now... I already had the jacket I can wear with.

Did get a little more sewing done yesterday... I have had this white jacket a while , had the fabric to make my skirt , but just had not been in a garment sewing mood....But , with being snowed in and all this freezing weather , had to do something to keep my sanity.....might been a good thing in some ways, I did accomplish something.... Have about 5 more piece of fabric layed out for skirts....It winter fabric...so if , I don't get them made soon, winter will be over, HOPEFULLY!!! .

Little more sewing .

Warmer Today


We have finally had a break in this terrible cold weather , today is suppose to reach at least 40. I need to do some grocery shopping... Have stayed in so long , beginning to get used to it... Dont like grocery shopping anyway.....would rather fabric shop.

I made another little tote bag yesterday, must just not ,been meant for me to sew. I had every problem possible for such a small simple job... first had problems finding anything in stash I wanted to line the bag.. right off cut the lining wrong....then I broke a needle.. Had a big spool of thread sitting behind my machine.....the thread ended up caught in my pulley wheel to the motor and wrapped tons of thread around it before I noticed....UGG.....hate days like that.

Finnally did get the bag finished ..

Dreary Day


This was just another cold dreary day.. I stayed inside all day . Did do a little sewing...just can't seem to get in sewing mood anymore.

One of my chat friends sent me this little flat to make a small tote bag, so I made it up today ....

Did some laundry and baked some cranberry nut bread..
I am still just expermenting on using this blog.. Not sure if I am doing anything right....
