i bought more fabric
So I just got back from the fabric store, where I bought fabric to make a dress, two aprons, and a pair of cropped pants. I also bought some buttons and thread. (Plus I bought a little something for my sister. You can guess Sari, but I am not telling what :) I leisurely strolled through the aisles and took my time just browsing. It was quite a bit of fun. Not that I needed any of the fabric I bought today. I already have fabric sitting at home to make two scrub tops (I want to get them done before school starts…) and a dress.
This is what I made the other night.
Yeah I know it is another purse. Not like I really needed one of these either, but I am trying to perfect my purse making skills:) I have to say that I really liked how this one turned out. I did things a little different so that the strap is a lot sturdier and so that the stitching where the lining attaches to the outside fabric is hidden. I have been using it for a couple days now and have to say that I love this style of bag. I am also planning on making a matching wallet and a couple of cases for inside this bag to keep things sorted a little.
So I got my funny looking boots and coveralls for school in the mail. The boots are a pain to put on, in fact I have yet to get them on with my shoes (you are supposed to wear them with your shoes inside). I do know that my foot will fit since I tried them on with just my socks and there is plenty of room, but when I tried to get them on with my shoes I got slightly frustrated. So I gave up temporarily (I know how about that…)! The coveralls are actually too small to wear a few layers underneath. They would be just fine if I didn’t need to be able to put on a few layers underneath, but since I need to wear these outside during the winter…. So I am going to return them and get the next size up. Maybe when I get the whole ensemble I will take a picture, or maybe not depending on how silly I look!
Sorry that my blog isn’t showing up great in ie. I am going to have Ben take a look at it, since I can’t figure out what I did wrong… He will probably be able to sort through my crazy html and figure out where I messed it up:)
Sorry about recommending getting the small overalls. It is so hard to predict what they are thinking when they say S, M, L, etc and don’t even tell you mens or ladies. You will look cute!
luv, Mom
It’s alright Mom. It is even worse than them just listing S,M,L without saying mens or ladies since they also had an XL and 2X… Very confusing. Technically though the coveralls were not actually too small if I am just wearing jeans and a tee. But you know how I like to layer my clothes in the winter:) I sent them back today though and am hopeful that the I will not drown in the medium… We shall see I guess!
