New Sewing Project

I got my sewing groove on today. Made me a new muslin template too. I used MATH. Imagine that. I'll have to let my 8th grade Geometry teacher know it did come in handy. I'll have to admit I was wrong. Heh.


I am using a linen dress and sheet I thrifted. I decided the outside needed a little --ummpphhh- if you know what I mean. So I drew up some embroidery designs to compliment the sheet I am using as the lining.


I used gray and green floss. However, the gray is looking mighty lavender at the moment. Could just be the lighting.


I asked my husband to pick two numbers from 1- 14 (including 1 and 14). I didn't tell him what for. He said "Two and one." So commenter's Two and One will be receiving there gift tags in the mail. Congrats to Lindsey and Ryan! I am going to Philly this Memorial Weekend so I'll put them in the mail on Tuesday!

  3. Those colors are so pretty on the linen. I've always thought gray and purple are similar. Either way the color is nice.

  6. Oh noes! Not maths! (Says the geekette who is drowning in student loans, all so she can learn just one more nugget of math wisdom.)

    I like the embroidery designs, especially the pairing of green and gray (even if the gray is looking a bit lavender-y here).

    Cute. Cute. Cute.

  9. I teach English, so Math is really scary to me. Maybe you can come on over and help me out some time when I'm feeling numbers-challenged.

  11. Math has never been my friend, I'm afraid. But that embroidery looks heavenly and I can't wait to see you're progress on this!
