not enough quality time with my sewing machine
I get a little bit of time to sew everyday, normally. The weekends the chunks can be bigger or sometimes not at all due to other commitments. I ordered twenty plus yards of linen and I just do not feel like I have made the dent I wish to.
So far, I got a long chemise made but have two or three more of those to make. I got a smock top/dress made, which I will share later. I have two more of those to make, hopefully. It will depend on yardage. I got a skirt cut out and nine squares started for my best friend's linen quilt. I do so like making nine squares and here quilt is starting to feel like the desert to me because of the colors in it. But one of the things I was most excited about was a bit of extra fabric I had from cutting out the skirt.
I made a linen towel. I really like Turkish towels. I know they are not linen but cotton. I really like not having the fluffy towel. To buy linen towels, they are even more pricey then the Turkish towels or African kekois because of the fiber. And here I go putting something together of a similar size out of a scrap. I hemmed all sides and put a loop in it for hanging.
It is going on the letterpress trip as my Beloved's towel. Small Mister is coming with us and hopefully I will have much to share next week. I have the feeling there will be very little time at the computer.
