Sewing Again















I got some sewing in again today. I can tell school is winding down. Today I made a skirt for Lorissa. It was going to have a zipper, but I changed my mind and made it with an elastic waist band. I really love this fabric so it was fun to work on. The sewing machine gave me some problems so I cleaned out a bunch of fuzz and re-threaded it and it worked better.

Some sewing tips from an infrequent seamstress: use good thread, make sure you thread machine correctly, iron as you go, take your time, take breaks, and pin things carefully.
