Under the Needle (Jacket and Skirt)

I spent the my entire Saturday cutting and sewing and it felt wonderful.



I'm working of a jacket and skirt. Below is a sneak preview of the jacket.



I would have finished the skirt but when I went to insert the zipper, it
was the wrong color. :-(

My 11 year old suggested that I just use a black zipper. "Black goes with everything", she said. But no, I had to find a zipper to match. Well, after driving to the local sewing store, I was not able to find the right color after all. So, when I told her, she smiled and said, "I told you so". I just laughed.

Anyway, I need to slow down and regroup before I do my buttonholes. It's my intention to sew bound buttonholes for the first time, after I get some practice in (LOL).

Once I'm finish, I will provide all the detail of my sewing journey.

I decided to rest today and do some blog reading because my upper back is hurting me. I guess from all that sewing I did.

Good Night!
