Projects!!

Tonight I’ve been very happily working on projects. I lined a wool skirt for a friend and am now working on a skirt for her to wear to her sister’s baby shower. Here are some pics of the skirt in progress. I’m not sure if the ruffle will be this material or not yet. Time will tell.

These are photos on our dining table. My work table is also a dining table we snagged at a garage sale. My back aches from bending over it. I hope soon we’ll have a bit more space so I can build a higher table at my height!
Other projects this weekend include working on Jillian’s tote, making the pattern from my new pants. I wore them twice this week and received compliments both times!! And I’ll be trying to piece together a shower curtain from old bedding headers they were getting rid of at work. I’ve never quilted before, and I’m not doing anything more intricate than squares, so I hope it isn’t too bad!
Peace,
^_^ Katy
