Ever since your post about your weekend sewing and the subsequent comment you received about the preparation period, I have been pondering my sewing time. This past weekend I made a denim skirt and a pair of jeans. I sewed them start to finish over the weekend, with no rush. But, like you, I had spent weeks with the idea for these garments percolating in my head. Even before I had the fabric. I had traced the patterns, made a muslin for the skirt, washed, dried and pressed the fabric and then finally cut it. When I sat down to sew, there was no rush, everything went together perfectly and I ended up with two well fitted and well made garments. You were right about your whole life being preparation time. I am always planning in the back of my mind, even when I'm doing other things! Looking forward to seeing your red suit!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01976979916731196246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-64729764274074549592009-03-03T13:51:00.000-05:002009-03-03T13:51:00.000-05:00If the lining is a picture of what's to come (with...If the lining is a picture of what's to come (with the finish) it will probably be amazing! The lining looks like a wonderful weight,very rich looking not some of this thin stuff that's out there. The color is pretty too. Have fun, that's part of what it's all about! <BR/>I'm working on putting a new back onto an old poly quilt we use on our bed. Nothing all that spectacular looking! So, yes, I will get through with this as quickly as possible!Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11744073613012413496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-20106104780844544962009-03-03T12:00:00.000-05:002009-03-03T12:00:00.000-05:00I appreciate these comments.

I have a small quilt top that needs a border, back and binding, an unfinished blouse and now I'm starting on a jacket with my ASG neighborhood group.

It was great practice at putting in zips, doing it a few times gave me practice and no-one is going to be looking at them much. I was determined to finish this weekend, so I pushed myself on the last one (and I was overconfident, after all I had done this three times already, wasn't this the time it all came together?). Well, I ripped one seam about three times, it took twice as long as expected to sew up, and it still was, probably, the worst of the four, LOL! Next time, I take my time!!<BR/><BR/>Anon in IrelandAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-40307078329569472932009-03-03T10:26:00.000-05:002009-03-03T10:26:00.000-05:00Smart you.
