(me and the girls at our slumber party)
It's Tuesday, the second to last real class day of school, but even though it seems to be so close to the end I am a little curious how I will make it through to the end of the day and accomplish all the task that need to be done. PROCRASTINATION!!!! is the reason for this super crazy day. This weekend I had a little too much fun hanging out with the girls from our Sunday school class at a slumber party and then shopping all afternoon with them on Camp Bowie at the annual crawl event.
Very cool! My friend Stephanie and I made a skirt Saturday afternoon.
I learned how horrible I am at cutting fabric when you are limited to the measurements of a pattern. I think it is possible that I failed the scissor portion of grade school. Everytime I looked Stephanie was going behind me straightening out my lines and evening things up. I did learn a new trick.....Basting (not like basting a turkey) it is making the material gather to create a ruffle/fluff effect before sewing the fabric. I might have learned this basting thing a little to well because the skirt is a little too fluffy in areas. I have yet to wear my final product because it needs a little adjusting in the fluff department.
I was so inspired by my sewing project with Stephanie that my friend Ashley and I got ambitious at the fabric store and bought some super cute fabric for making sundresses....the material advertised only one stitch to make the dress......I'll believe it when I see it. This is my after finals project, so stay tuned for pictures of the final product.
