Here it is the middle of July already ... Goodness, where has the time gone? On Friday night, I took a top and reduced the shoulder seams by an inch, raised the armhole, and added French darts on the front of the top. This gave it a new, polished look for one of my 80+ yr old church members. I also shortened 2 pairs of pants and hemmed them by hand plus hemmed a 3rd pair. When that was done, I took a skirt where the seam had frayed at the end of the invisible zipper and repaired it. The pants and skirts were for a lady who was a neighbor of another church member. Yesterday at my Sit & Sew class, I made 2 pillowcases with French seams and a preemie dress out of a soft yellow fabric. I still need to add some embroidery to the dress, finish the neckline and add lace to the sleeves. That is going to a little 2.5lb baby girl named Vivian at one of the local hospitals. A friend of Vivian's mother contacted me thru Threads of Love and asked me to make something for the baby. Next up is adding some embroidery to a clerical stole and finishing it. This has been a very productive sewing weekend ... What are you sewing?
