Ist make of the year

Finally my first clothing make of the year . I started this skirt in October & finished it yesterday . It's a fully lined skirt made of quilting cotton . Very simple but glad to have finally made something !!!

I wore this skirt last night to dinner with friends . My friend said cute skirt before I even had a chance to say I had made it . I thought I had the lining a good inch shorter than the hem, but it showed when I walked in the front . So... Need to trim that off. 

CCS Sewing -

Lots of CCS sewing this week . We are very short of onsies for our Layette Bags for the hospitals . Also afghans are in short supply. My goal is to make an afghan or quilt a month. That's a small dent in the over 1000 we need each year for local hospitals & social service agencies . 

I always have lots of plans to sew for myself , just need to do it !!

WW is not going as quickly as I had hoped for weight loss. Keep saying I'll start something whenever lost 5-10 . But I keep plugging along .

Pima Canyon Hiking instead of dealing with sewing issues

     Had to get the loose threads in my head cleared out today . Many,many sewing problems yesterday !!!! Not all operator error . I came back from Sewing Expo sew enthused - trying to get mojo back .
Need to refigure embroidery project as I'm making recipe towels for a fundraiser basket . Due next week of course !!!

Pendleton Posing

Picture form last weeks Sewing Expo in Puyallup WA . 

I had to get a picture next to my name !!!!!

I didn't buy any fabric there - living in AZ I don't really wear too many wools , but they had some beautiful fabric .
