Last Friday I pulled out those purple UFO clothing items to fiddle with and to take new pictures; they were going to be my focus for the early part of this week, but it just didn't happen. I have been struggling to get this white part laying down perfectly and pinned, my hands just are not cooperating with me here. With the temperatures already getting warm here (70's-80's), my hands are starting to swell again which turns my fingers into sausages! I am not afraid to admit I am failing on getting this set in. Thankfully a Friend came over on Saturday to help me get it set in place and I cannot begin to tell you how grateful I was for that! Sunday my Husband drove me over to Jo-Ann's to buy some buttons and a zipper. He has requested that the next dress I make have a zipper as he is in charge of Sunday morning dressing of Miss Z and she is a bit wiggly!  |

These are the projects that I plan to work on Thursday for the Friday-Night Sew-in. I cannot participate exactly on Friday night as family is coming in town for the Birthday party on Saturday. Hopefully Everyone is okay with me participating a day early this month!

| Playdate dress: Adding the Yoke is giving me fits still |
 |
| Two Plus Two Blouse: Sleeves have been inserted, everything else still needs to be done. |
These are the other 3 projects I am focusing on tomorrow night:
1. Miss Z's Birthday dress: I accidentally stripped out the gathering threads while working on this project, tossed it under my work table and promptly forgot about it.
2. Birthday Bibs: Someone has contacted me to commission a couple special birthday bibs for their Grand-daughter's first birthday, I will tackle this project if I have time. I will probably make one for Miss Z while I am at it!
3. Finish up the HST Quilt: It is my Scrap Challenge Project for January and I almost have the top completed. I really want to finishing making the Tutorial for it as well, but that might not all happen in one night!You can see the full UFO/WIP List for the Finish-a-long first quarter (with pictures) HERE

ReplyDeleteThe little purple dress will be so sweet and well worth the effort. Thanks for sharing about the Friday night sew in - sounds great!
ReplyDeleteLoving the light purple dress!!!! Isn't it a shame that housekeeping has to interrupt our sewing time? How dare it!!! Enjoy your company.
