Sewing

I'm desperately working on Syd's Halloween costume & it's taking forever... maybe I should have just followed a pattern?

Making it up as you go along takes a lot of trial & error.

After working on it for hours last night I went to bed with a sore back & Berto promptly threw up

(I think the youth fed him too many cookies at their activity last night b/c he seems just peachy this morning).


And then I had a nightmare that Syd told me she hated Tinkerbell & wanted to be an octopus.

No really... it was a nightmare.

yes that would be quite the nightmare considering all the time you've put into her costume! Can't wait to see it!

Ok I love that even your lamp looks like it's decorated beautifully with flowers. Good luck on the costume. Ours will just be a tutu/leotard and she'll have to tell people what she is. Haha. But Hey she's down with that and so am I.

For what it's worth I did see a cool Octopus balloon at Partyland yesterday.

LOL I had the whole bobbin mechanism on my machine fall apart on me last night, one monkey ear shy of finishing the kids' costumes. So frustrating. I fixed it, but had to finish the ear this morning before playgroup.

That's so funny, I've had a few dreams about sewing lately myself. I can't wait to see what you did! I bet it's amazing!

Smithy- I'm just glad its done & she was happy!

Es- I totally am following a pattern next time. Coming up with a concept & then figuring out how to execute it is a pain in that you-now-what.

Debbie- Ha! They are just stuck up there to spice the lamp up a bit! But thanks! P.S. your girls looked SO CUTE!

Christie- Ugh. I hate when stuff like that happens. I'm an idiot & did mostly hand sewing on mine. Took so much longer.

Cindy- thats because you've been sewing amazing stuff!

You are very talented missy! I love that you made her costume. The neckline with the ruffles...sooo adorable and then to know that you didnt use a pattern...WOW you are amazing! Great job!
