So, I've been sewing a lot recently. And none of it has been for me. I am currently working on finishing two skirts for my best friend before she goes on her LDS mission in June. We've been friends for about ten years (I had to count on my fingers. Sad). Doing something for her was not an issue. It's just adding lace and such to the bottoms to lengthen the dress. How can I refuse my best friend? I can't. It's simply not allowed, and I finished one of them in an hour right after we returned from the fabric store. I'm awesome, you guys, pure awesome.
Another project I'm working on is a skirt for my sister. She had this old pencil skirt that was falling apart. I mean literally...it was bad. However, we stopped at our local Hancock Fabrics, and picked a McCall pattern and went from there. I finished it in one day. It was a black and green pinstriped pencil skirt that looked soo cute on her. I'm actually temped to make one for myself. That's how cute it was.
I also have another friend interested in my handy skills. She wants me to add lace to her shirt. How can I say no? I can't. Especially when I find that people are impressed by my handy work. Thank you Grandma for teaching me to sew at a very young age.
However, I stress when I work on projects for other people. I think it over very well before I cut, iron, stitch, all of it! I don't want to make it a muck up. It would kill me. If I'm sewing something for me, and I don't care if the seams aren't even, that's fine. I could care less. But now I'm wanting to do a project for me. I have a bunch of clothes in my closet that need a good DIY. Maybe I can do something to them this week. Maybe. :/
