Sewing It Up
Getting back into the swing of studying isn't the easiest after 5 weeks of rambling about all over the place. So yesterday I set myself some goals. I made lists. Lists are my saviour. And I promised myself that if I finished everything on my lists I could do something I wanted to do. So I finished them, and then I sewed. My first foray into the joys of elastic cotton and shirring. Here's my creation, in all it's different forms.

This looks great. I love the fabric. How easy was the sherring? I am sewing up kenzi's summer wardrobe at the moment - thought I would start now as I didn't get her winter one done at all (sewing a bigger overcoat for next winter!)
By the way - is it not summer over there? You have furry boots and a skivvy on, or was it night?
Well done on finishing a list. The only lists I ever finish are my shopping lists. I think I aim to high. Like today my list was tile kitchen, paint sewing room, sew dress for a wedding. Instead I went to Connor's chapel, had a milkshake with Kenz, went to the libray with Kenz, read all the fairy books in the world with Kenz. Sometimes lists are not meant to get done. I had fun.
Hope the study goes well and you have an extra big burst of enthusiasm.

Ooh, I like the sound of your non-list. Looks like Kenz won out.
Shirring is mega easy, there's a tutorial on portabellopixie (one of the blogs in the side bar). And it's good old IKEA fabric, yay for IKEA. You can make really cute little girls dresses with it, i think there's cute ones on Craftster.
Good luck with your list! Maybe it could be a 'Get done by the end of the year or possibly decade' list.

Yuh, it is summer but the weather is manic at the moment. I was trying the outfit to see if I could use it for winter as well, hence the skivvy (I used to think they were soooo daggy but if they work who am I to turn up my nose!). During the day I was wearing a skirt and singlet top and as it got cooler the boots came out. 4 seasons in one day, that pretty much explains Amsterdam.
