Sewing clothes, blah!
I'm making clothing and other stuff for my son's upcoming wedding and now I remember why I drifted away from sewing before I discovered quilting! I've been working on material that is slick, frays like crazy, requires tons of pins and is hard to press(but not to scorch)! Oh, sure, it looks nice and is exactly what I wanted (for both the flower girl and myself) but what a pain! I can't wait to get the sleeves on my jacket and the skirt for myself done--then there are the stuffed calico dogs for the flower girl and ringbear (my new SGS)--but at least that won't be with slick material! I am SO looking forward to our guild quilt retreat in 2 weeks--with my mom, sis and daughter going too! I will not be taking any fabric that isn't COTTON!
