Everything Sewing :: View topic – Saturday-gettin’ cooler

Mornin girls! I am just heading to bed. I am praying Ahnalin sleeps all night tonight as it has been several days since Don and I have actually gotten to sleep in the same bed! Today, we are doing laundry, packing and cleaning so we can leave for Disneyland after the 3rd service tomorrow. We plan to have the van totally packed tonight so that we can just come home from church, change, and GO!!! I did not get the petticoat done for Ahnalin’s MM dress, but that is ok. I did get the M.E. done on both of the girls jeans jackets. I had bought Ahnalin’s jean jacket at Kmart for $1.00 at the end of summer and just bought one for India at the Salvation Army thrift store. Hers was a J Crew that was brand new and I only paid $6.99 for it! Such a deal! I finally got the red Imperial Tartan in the mail today so I cut out a bishop for Ahnalin. I used the tartan bishop directions from the Sew Beautiful 1996 Autumn mag. Great instructions, and boy did that thing pleat perfectly! I am having so much fun with all these mags! I also pleated the front of a CC Carol and then I can’t find the pattern! And then I have a few solid white inserts pleated. I am hoping to get some smocking done while we are driving. And I am sure I will not get near as much done as as I think, but I will still be prepared! I am going to post a smocking question in the smocking forum. I would love any input.

I hope you all have wonderful days today!
