little of this, little of that.

yes, i made more rolls. shuttie!

finished the little swing top for my daughter from a vintage dress i’ve had for ages. (don’t tell anyone but i just took another a-line top she has and cut out a cardboard pattern. just to see if i could do it.) the new Necchi needs some cleaning/servicing but still works like a dream. love it.

the print is so cute. we cuffed some jeans, too, for an outfit. i’m not usually so matchy but it was good practice. of course my uberseamstress older sis came over for a looksee and pronounced my finishing techniques “in need of improvement.” harumph.

so few sales this weekend but did find a great book illustrated by Masha (one of my favorites) and am working on a Christmas card design. i know it’s July but holiday cards are so much fun to design. (warning, don’t google for Masha without the word illustrator unless you’re prepared to look at russian bunnies, and not the furry 2-legged kind ).

oh, and we worked on building/argued about the design of a new island base for the kitchen and it’s nearly done, just looking for the right old hardware - a trip to ReStore is in order, methinks?

hope everyone had a wonderful weekend, whatever you did or didn’t do.

edited to remove photos because my DSL is freaky today and nothing will load. argh.
