Moving on from bridal alterations. Today, I shortened a Sleeping Beauty skirt by 3-1/2 inches which included 1 layer of satin and 2 layers of tulle. I did a quick rolled hem on all 3 layers. Took 30 minutes to finish. I finished a clerical stole for a minister friend. I'll post a pic soon. I also stitched together a leopard costume that had a rip in it. All of this took me around 2 hours to do. I just have 2 pairs of pants to hem and a zipper to replace and all of the alterations are done. I have orders for 3 more clerical stoles to do by Nov 18th. Busy, busy sewing times. After these stoles are done, I am sewing for myself until February. My wardrobe desperately needs updating. I'm not sending gifts to my family that I made. We had a professional portrait done so they will get an updated pic with DVDs of my daughter's sermons. I'm not stressing myself out this year.
