I took these pics today. I just did not realize that my camera needed the date reset until after I loaded them on the PC. So these pics are not 6 years old. LOL
Well today I decided today that I was going to try to get rid of some of the
PIGS in my sewing room.
PIGS stand for Projects In Grocery Sacks in case you did not know. :o)
Here are some examples. Even though some may not be in sacks.
A child's criss cross top with matching panties. The top lacks buttons and buttonholes and the panties are in the sack cut out and still attached to the patten pieces.
This has been this way for about 2 years.
A child dress. I think it has been in this state since 2004.
I think there is 2 scrub tops in this basket.
LOL
One I started about 2004 and the other in 2006.
This little basket contains some quilt blocks and material for the quilt that I was going to make my husband. I think I started this venture about 2003.
Here is another one of my little PIGS.
It was about 2004-2005 when I done this.
It is cut out but still attached to the pattern paper.
I got a little farther on this one. I took it out of the bag and hung it up for the pics. The bottom is hemmed but the arm holes and neck facings need to be completed.
I think when I started this top I dreaded the neck facings and decided I would do it later. Well here it is 2008. About 4 years later. I think it is about time I do something with it. Don't you?
Up close of the front.
This is the pattern from which the shirt is from. I was doing view A.
It is this drawing on the bottom left.
Well I did finish the top today. I was worried I have to say. But I will put the finished top in the next post. This one is already a little graphic heavy.
I told myself today that I needed to get some of these things out of the way that are in my sewing room collecting dust and taking up room. Another thing is I need to sew more for myself. Sissy and Trey have so many clothes now that they don't need anymore at the moment. Sissy's closet is busting at the seams. There is no way she will ever be able to wear some of the things in there. A friend of my husband brought him a sack full of clothes for Sissy yesterday. As I was going through them I was happy that we got all this stuff for free and most of them were winter items too. So Sissy will not need a coat for this winter because I think there where about three or four in that bag. Most of the things that were sent she will be able to wear this winter so that is great! Some maybe not this coming up winter but maybe the next. Anyway...Mommy doesn't need to make her anything anytime soon.
So back to me.
I need things.
I want things.
I don't like sewing for me though.
I am still trying to learn about alterations and tailoring. Those are my weaknesses. I also like stretch knit material but I do not have a serger. I really need one of those to make the type of things that I want and I think would flatter my body.
Oh what to do? What to do?
I need. I want. I cant have.
:o(
But I am going to give it my best. Once I get some of these PIGS out of the way. I think I am going to look at making me a dress.
I do not have a dress.
I really want and need one too.
So we will see.
Until next time
