verity83Spot is fuzzy.
Well, I went through every single box in my sewing closet. The last one I looked in had the handle strapping stuff. Blah. So I sewed on my dress for a while. It involves a crash course in shirring. For the record, I hate shirring... and I'm really irritated because I pulled it too tightly in one spot and didn't notice until after I cut the threads. (We're talking about two-tone here and I had to use white thread on the sleeve part and black on the rest of it.) BLAH. So I'm probably going to have to re-do both colours on that row of stitching. I think I've had enough for today. Pet Society will comfort me since Spot seems to think the floor is more fun to lie on than my lap. Mean kitty.
I also cut out a ton more quilt blocks because when hunting for the strapping I found a bunch of small pieces of fabric that really can't be used for anything else. That felt good to accomplish at least that. Which reminds me, I need to calculate how many blocks I'll need for a twin-sized quilt. *runs away*
81” x 107” for a twin bedspread. 27 squares across by 35 or 36 squares down, then.
Why am I hungry again already?
