 So.  I sorta wanted to go to coronation today.

Unfortunately, I didn't remember it was today until around 3pm.

Had to take a test in the testing center at school sometime today, and my sewing machine came out of the shop today, and yeah.  Amtgard totally skipped my mind.

On the up-side, Sam got a crap-ton of writing done, and I got a bit done.  I did well on the test (I think), and I sewed for like 8 hrs.  Applique borders are cool, but a leeeettle time-consuming.  So many layers to plan and attach and sew and  sew and sew again and then satin-stitch.

This sample is real quick.  Gotta do a tighter stitch on the actual piece, and guide the curves a little more accurately.
The black and white stripes came that way on the fabric.  The pattern had such a huge repeat that so much ended up as scrap that I almost wish I hadn't tried to match it.  


I really want to start putting more of my non-writing, creative work here.  Need a digital camera so bad.


Also, why do I have to try something new on a huge project like all the way around the bottom and up the side-slits of a shin-length garment?  Why can't I talk myself into doing this on a little bag or something?

So Janell, what did you do this weekend?
