dusting off the sewing machine

When I finally get my stairs up, I won't have to ...... clear the kitchen table, bring out the sewing machine, baskets, material, extension cords and then ... CLEAR IT ALL AWAY AGAIN!


What a pain in the ... well anyway, DS4 is having a sleepover at Nanny's house and going to the movies.  Me? well I thought about all the things I could do.  Then DD19 and her boyfriend reminded me that I said I'd make them some costumes for a fancy dress party.  They came home from holidays on Sunday and dragged me to the shops yesterday to get everything.  The party is on Friday night so I haven't got much time to spare.  Guess I'm sewing 'scary clown' costumes for this week!  That's in between a play date for DS4 and taking DD19 to get her hair done - she still doesn't have her licence back - plus all the usual jobs that need doing. I'm also starting back at netball tomorrow night after a six month break to rest an injury, so I could be quite incapacitated for the rest of the week.


I actually really love sewing and used to do a lot more, these days the time just gets away from me.


We're going for a cross between the pattern and the picture!




Better get cracking!!


Have a great day :)

  1. That doesn't look like it is something one could just whip up. Good luck!

  2. I wish I could sew like that! I am very excited though as just sent away for an 'Amy Butler ' pattern ...which are apparently very easy for beginners to follow.
    Can't wait to see the results of your sewing.

  4. Oh, sewing..... I haven't had much time to do that lately either and I do miss whipping something up with my sewing machine! I have the same packing unpacking dilemma as you.
    But I'm working on getting some time aside for a bit of sewing - wish me luck!!
