I have been spending a ridiculous amount of time sewing these two pairs of french knickers. I suppose part of it has to do with the fact that I am hand sewing the lace gussets, and doing nice french seams and rolled hems… I’ve been working on them on and off since Friday. I think they are turning out really pretty. I hope other people think so too…
I have a bunch of plaid brushed cotton to make lumberjack-inspired panties out of with bits of Chantilly lace. And, on my most recent trip to Fabricland I found a beautiful piece of crinkled cotton with a vintage looking rose print on it. I can’t wait until I have time to sew it into a nice peg-top skirt or structured shrug or something.
Today has been another wonderful day, and I think that the common thread between all the wonderful days I’ve been having is that they coincide with the days that I do not work. Hmm…
I love my days at home. I cooked Dan breakfast this morning and was sure to break his yolks as is my usual habit (though not his preference). We watched a movie and I snuggled with Oliver. I made 99 meatballs and put some in the crock pot with sweet and sour sauce! I’ve thoroughly been able to enjoy my messy little kitchen lastley, baking bread and slow-cooking everything! I’ve browsed vintage sewing patterns, and hummed and hawed over fabrics… It rained most of the afternoon.
This is my favourite way to spend a Sunday.
