Freshly laundered fabric. Smells great too! My local fabric shop was having a sale and I stocked up on some of my favorite prints. The fabric laying across the top is my most recent vintage flour sack purchase. Before I washed it I thought it had a mustard yellow background. It cleaned up nice. More pin cushions? Maybe. I spent all weekend sewing up an overdue bag for my sister. She requested a nicer bag to take to campus (since she lives 30 minutes away) to hold all her gym stuff. Well I went through three different designs before I finally settled on one. The bad side of ugly is it turned out HUGE! I have no idea what I was thinking when I made the measurements. I mean... like... 'Ashley Olsen purse' big. She also mentioned she wanted a weekend bag. I think this fits the bill. But do you think I took a picture? Nope. It's all wrapped up in a box ready to mail tomorrow morning. I'll get one when she comes down for a visit.
My to do list for the week/ weekend:
- Sew reusable grocery bags (eliminate stack of vintage bedsheets in the process)
- Refold all the fabric I decided to take out, unfold, then throw on the floor.
- Take dresser out of garage and put in sewing room for additional storage of fabric.
- Vacuum all carpeted spaces and all furniture. I am borrowing a steam vac this week so EVERYTHING is getting a bath!
- Bake homemade bread.
- Call vet to make appointment for Critter. It's time to get her snippity, snipped, snipped.
Can I come over for homemade bread? I would sooo help you move that dresser. I'll even fold all the fabric, too! : D
ReplyDeleteI know we were both posting about the same thing BUT how funny we even washed the same fabric LOL!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good to-do list for the week and looks like you got some great prints at that sale!
ReplyDeleteI just read your profile, do you do all your sewing on a $25 machine still? Best that was the best $25 you ever spent!
