My little sewing blog was lonely all on its own. And since it was displaced from the sidebar by the knit-alongs, I'm moving it back to the blue blog as a weekly update.

Current projects:

dressy
My first big sewing project and it's still awaiting armhole facings and a hem. I'm having trouble working up the courage to try the small curvy seams on the armhole facings. And I don't know how I'll get the hem right all by myself.

groovy
Why did I stop working on this? Ahh, the waistband. But now that I've conquered that fear/technique, I should be able to get these sewn up and hemmed pretty quick.

kwikies
Pants and more pants for the boys. I made one pair using the Kwik-Sew pattern and a couple of Kristi's fast pants. I've got more fabric and old t-shirts ready to be transformed into more pants and shorts for summer fun.

miscellany
I spent most of my sewing time in the last week and a half working on all the curtains that needed to be rehemmed for our new place. After running out of white thread and then (Carolyn, you'll like this!) sewing the pocket for the curtain rod closed on several panels, I finally managed to get them all done for the bedrooms. The kitchen and living room are still naked.

And remember this fabulous fabric that Kerrie sent me a while back? Well, I'm trying to turn it into something fun and summery. If I can't get it to work, I should still be able to turn it into a little shoulder bag.

Stop by next week for the chance to see:

- a finished pair of groovy pjs
- some fast shorts, and
- a fabulous little top (or the world's sexiest purse!)
