Some Progress


I ended up putting in a lot of computer time today doing some research. Only two pairs of RTW pants got hemmed this morning. That's quite a bit of progress for me. I used my reliable "thing-a-ma-jig" to sew over the humps of the thick seams.

Hemming my jeans on my SM


The most time consuming process for me is to measure the hem, turn up the hem, press, tuck in the raw edges, and pin. Sewing the hem is the easy part.

Used a dark thread to hem my jeans

I've got the following fabrics queued for tote bags (main bag fabric on the right and the lining on the left of each picture):

Blue and gold print fabric


Pink, rose, & brown fabric


Gold print fabric


Now, I'm ready to go sit on my porch and enjoy the fantastic weather we are having and get some knitting done.

Hemming is such a chore. It's not fulfilling sewing. But necessary. The fabrics will make lovely totes.
