More creativity this new year! Yes yes!<\/p>\n

I got the use of a sewing machine, and it sure it nice. I went to the fabric store and bought a pattern, and some fabric, and some thread. Then I had to go back and get some “notions”. Sewing notions, isn’t that a romantic name?<\/p>\n

It means buttons and bobbins and needles and Mrs. Wrights twill tape, etc.<\/p>\n

So I went back and got some notions.<\/p>\n

I used to sew a lot, back when I had more time than ways to use it. I sewed satin pajamas, and formal dresses and less formal dresses and flowing rayon pants and circle skirts with lace and swimming suits and anything.<\/p>\n

But I haven’t sewn in a long time. I bought the pattern, very thankful that it was on sale. I think that patterns must always be on sale somewhere. The list price is phenomenally high! Holy moley!<\/p>\n

But this one was on sale, and it had darts. Darts are officially tricky.<\/p>\n

I went to buy the fabric, and there were two fabrics that looked the same, one was a whitish natural color and one was a beigish natural color. But the beige one I liked better, and I couldn’t tell it it was on sale on not. The white one was on sale. I hoped it was on sale, so I brought it to the cutting table to ask.<\/p>\n

Turns out the beigey one was NOT on sale, because it was linen. Oh. Better not take it then. So she cut the whitish one, and I was feeling cheapskate’s regret about the beigey one. Then she asked, “How much of this?” and I took the bait. Now I have both. I am not sure what I’m going to do with the Whitish one.<\/p>\n

I cut the skirt, but I forgot what half of those little marks meant. I forgot to mark the darts and things. But I got it figured out.<\/p>\n

Look me about a week, but a finished a very sweet little skirt. It’s not perfect, but I don’t have someone coming up to me with a microscope, so it will do. I am very proud to wear it.<\/p>\n

I feel very creative. It’s fun to sew things again!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
