Sew! Then, chocolate martini. I find my sewing suffers if I do it in the opposite order.
ReplyDeletesheesh! I lost count how many times you mentioned "put away Christmas stuff AND/OR sew!"
ReplyDeleteSew! There will be a weekend that you don't want to sew and you can put the Christmas decorations away then. And I hope you have some ponte in the collection to make a dress, because they make awesome dresses!
ReplyDeleteyou can put away decorations any time...sew while you feel like sewing
ReplyDeleteSew....definitely! If you leave out the Christmas stuff for long enough, you will have a head start for next Christmas.
ReplyDeleteIf you procrastinate for 350something more days, you won't have to put away Christmas stuff until next year.
ReplyDeleteHi Debbie,
ReplyDeleteFirst of all - DEFINITELY sew! Your soul needs it.
Second - if you decide to sew pants - try the Sure-Fit Designs pants kit. I made a quick mock-up and was really pleased with the outcome. I haven't finished/tweaked it since, ahem, I ate a few too many Christmas cookies this holiday season.But as soon as I am down to my fighting weight...
Happy New Year!

I say sew! I wished our weekends were 5days and we only worked 2 but got paid twice as much... now that would be the perfect work week. We'd have 5 days a week for sewing and the extra money we would need for all our sewing projects... ah we can dream can't we?
ReplyDeleteHi Debbie,
ReplyDeleteFirst of all - definitely SEW! Your soul needs it.
Second of all - if you decide to make pants try the Sure-Fit Designs pants kit. I was really happy with my first mock-up just based on my body measurements - not additional adjustments - but since my weight is up a little since the holidays I want to wait before I tweak the pattern. Good luck!
Happy New Year!

Sew, sew, sew! Oh, and have a chocolate martini!
ReplyDeleteSew and have a chocolate martini!
ReplyDeleteI put away my Xmas decos in bits and pieces... it is a painful chore!
Is there really any contest? Sew, sew, sew ;)!
ReplyDeleteThe decisions I'll leave to you but - How do you make a chocolate martini?
ReplyDeleteDeb - if you don't have ponte in the stash, go over to fabricmart - they have it on sale today.
ReplyDeleteMy Christmas tree is still up. Sew. Definitely. Before the chocolate martini.
