Good grief, I can't believe how much sewing you can get done when you put your mind to it. It helps that I've been home sick for 4 days too! Made another long sleeved t-shirt that I am just ok with - 1.5 yds. Then I made a short sleeved t shirt I love!! 1.0 yds. Lesson learned, the $1.99 knits are usually $1.99 for a reason - don't buy them for anything except kids t-shirts!!
3.0 yds for the tweed jacket for my granddaughter, tweed is interlined with pink flannel, then the lining is cotton with batting inside it (didn't count the batting in my yardage!) Can't wait to give it to my daughter (Pic is in completed project forum). And a pair of cream cord jeans for the 2 yr old using 1 yd that was leftover from the coat I made her last month. The last two items have been in my cut out basket for a few months, just couldn't seem to get excited about sewing them up. So they are kind of UFO's.Today, I'm into using up my knit fabric for tshirts!! Then I have to go back to work for two days, so I will be at a standstill for a bit.
