Well, if I’m going to lose weight, I have to diet. I’m starting today. On Monday, I’ll start with Weight Watchers. I found my WW info. The meetings are on Tuesday, a swim day, so I probably won’t be going to them. And at night, if I go to a meeting I should go to [...]

At least, I have a good excuse. May was just crazy, and I did get DD’s dress done. Yesterday, I was able to edge stitch the facings, but at this rate, I’m not going to finish until after the wedding. I’m going to take tomorrow morning off work, and hopefully, I’ll be able to sew [...]

I sewed the facing to the top with the clear elastic acting at a stablizer. I’m going to have to edge stitch to keep that elastic from popping out.

I decided not to use the silk organza. One of my sewing buddies suggested fleshtone tulle instead. So I’m going to try this. Because the tulle doesn’t offer much support, I decided to use clear elastic on the neckline. The pattern calls for buttonloops. My first buttonloops came out terrible. I’m not sure why. Anyway, [...]

Chunguita just got her third tooth. She’s been fussy, and the nightbefore last, she couldn’t sleep unless I was holding her against me inour bed.

I cut my top out last night from a blue linen/rayon burnout that I got at Joann’s. It’s an interesting fabric. It looks like blue linen with sheer floral insets. I’m not sure what I’m going to do about the facings and interfacing. I am going to use silk organza, but should I use 1 [...]

My brother is getting married on June 19th, and I decided last night that I don’t have anything to wear to the wedding. So after much agonizing, I decided to make this top to go over a pegged knit skirt. I’m going to use a rayon/linen burnout from Joann’s for the the top and a [...]
