:: When You Don’t Know What to Do- Sew

Over the weekend I made zippered pouches for WEST AND EAST…
I made one little flaw in my sewing on Saturday.

I didn’t close up the sewing machine.

Miss B.  got here today and took one look at the machine sitting out, in all it’s radiant glory…

And said, “Oma!  you remembered!  We’re going to make a new apron for me today, so I can help you cook!”  The fruit doesn’t fall very far from the tree with this one.  She’s just like her momma.

Looking back now, I wish I’d gotten a before photo of this blouse.  It was really cute!  I got it at the thrift store at the bag day sale…$7 a bag!  SO COST…NEXT TO NOTHING!  You’re looking at the back.  I wanted it to come up high enough to cover her front…after all, I get messy when I cook.  It makes perfect sense that she would too!

The teal parts are added.  It matches the little teal flower petals… trust me it’s there.  But I took this with my iPhone.  Just close your eyes and imagine.  {smile}

It wasn’t ruffled… I cut the bottom off and created the ruffle since it had ruffles around the neck line and she wanted pockets… those are OUR creation too. She told me just where to put them!  I used scraps including some smocking from the front, to make them.  I cut the tie off and repositioned it to fit her waist, we still had to wrap it and tie it in the front.  But you can tell by the smile she loves it!  On the back there’s a strap sewn in to keep the shoulders up, at her insistence;  and she just pops it over her head before tying.

What I got done today—toward the budget: 

• Called and switched phone providers.  I’ll update on that later.  I’m anxious to see how this Old People plan works out.  Savings of about $60 a month…crossing my fingers.
• Made Taco wraps for supper – 2 people about $3!
• More Laundry—Solar Dried—FREE 
• Vacuumed all the rugs…
• Sewing with grand daughter… and making memories… PRICELESS!

‘Til next time, Be Blessed!
