I finally finished the drawstring pants, wore them for half an hour, and they have two tears in the seams. Apparently, I didn't do a very good job. Oh well, they will go in the scrap pile and I will either fix them or use the fabric for something else. At least I hadn't left the house yet when I discovered the crotch tear. Hooray!
I recently ordered some delightful fabrics from Fabric.com and I have a plan for some zipper bags for gifts. Unfortunately, my zipper pouch kung fu seems to be rusty, as the first attempt didn't turn out so good. No matter! I believe the biggest issue is fixable, and I have plenty more fabric to make many many more! I have pics of the fabric that I will post if I ever remember to have my camera and computer in the same room at the same time.
I still haven't been sewing much, because it is very stuffy and warm in the sewing room. Unfortunately, that will be probably be case for at least another couple of months, since we are moving into August and that month is pretty reliably sweltering in the Portland area. I'm hoping to get some gifts done for my parents before mid-September so I can hand them out when we meet at the beach. Otherwise, they will have to be mailed later.
If anyone is reading this blog, I'm sorry for the long delays between posts. I just haven't had much to say because I haven't been sewing. Hopefully this will be a much more lively blog in the fall/winter when I spend much more time in the sewing room.
