Sew Planned

I've been sewing when I can but it's been sporadic.

I made this see through top last week.   

Meri saw it hanging on my bedroom door and has claimed it...  

really?...

If I wear a tank top underneath, it's pretty cute.  Any other alternative would be indecent I suppose.

The front seam is a serged seam facing out. Meri thought the whole shirt was inside out so I thought it might be mine after all.  She still likes it.  darn.

I also make a new skirt based on a pattern by Dana Marie.  It still needs some two inch elastic that I purchased yesterday.  I hope to wear this on Sunday.   It's asymmetrical, not crooked. 
Am I going to have to tell everybody that?  It'll be worse than spelling my last name repeatedly...



I also plan to make this again in this stretchy knit for Robb's company Christmas party.  But that's a project to be started in a couple more weeks.

We'll see Maddy and Matthew this weekend so I'm getting the two shark bag blankets done this week for her kindergarten class.  I had promised them to her last spring but just remembered.  All of it is being done with stuff from my stash.  Note the special design of the 2nd one.  Piecing enough together to make the sharks body.  The blood red lips came from a red t-shirt that won't ever fit me.  I didn't want to use some red silk that I had because it told me that it wants to be a skirt or blouse instead.

I must obey the fabric...

I've also picked up some mermaid type fleece for two mermaid bag/blankets for our church craft sale coming up.  Those should be easier to put together than sharks so I may make more, but not sure of my time yet.  We'll see.

So those are my sewing adventures for now.  I'm always planning out my next big thing.

Robb and I finally sat down last night and bought my airline tickets for the sister's cruise in January.  I caved to sisterly peer pressure and did it.  I'm the last one to purchase my flight.  I kept holding out hope that my chiropractor's advice would come true but we didn't see a single round trip ticket for $65...oh well.  I just want to get down there!

The sister chat gets pretty busy some days and yesterday was a biggie.  

Those girls are so fun!  I can't wait.
