Back to sewing and scrappin'






This has been a productive weekend in terms of hobbies (now grading is another story). I spent four hours at the scrapbooking store with friends on Friday and got a total 5 12X12 pages done. Last night I finally got my first digi pages sent of to be printed. It's been over a year since I started. I need to see what they're going to look like. I also finished a couple pages that are posted above. They were quick and dirty, but I still like them.


I also worked on a skirt I cut out a while back. It's Vogue 8461. I has taken me a long time to get this project going. It's made from $2 a yard teal poly gorgette-like fabric from Joann's. I decided to serge the edges before sewing the skirt together, which might have been a mistake. I think it stretched one of my side panel pieces out of shape on the curve b/c the top of the two seams didn't line up. It's all good, though. I can straighten it out.


The instructions said to clip the seams on the front, but I didn't need to do that. Don't know why. Once I'm done w/the skirt, I may decide that the seams are not flat and clip. In the meantime, I don't want to mess with my serging.
