Well five days into the new year and I have bought four new patterns. Shopping Spree
BUT! My staff gave me a VISA Debit Card as a Christmas present so I could buy whatever I want. Thus this pattern purchase and as well as a subscription to the new
BMV Club offered by Vogue/Butterick/McCalls was a gift! They are a thoughtful group of people, don't you think.

Sewing Interruptus!!!

I have not been able to do much sewing this week.  My DH had to have rotator cuff surgery to fix a bad shoulder that I could not ever talk him into doing a couple of years ago.  It was pretty bad at this point. Fortunately it was repairable.  Everyone I have talked to who have had this surgery or someone in their family has said it is very painful afterwards.  They were not kidding.

My DH's pain level on a scale of 1-to 10, with 10 being the worst, is about 18!  No pain tolerance at all.  The doctor visit and pre-admission ate up one full day last Monday.

Out with the Old, In with the New

I decided it was time to buy a new rotary cutter.  My old one was okay; I tried an Olfa cutter with a different grip at a sewing retreat a few months ago.  I liked the feel of it so I decided to let the old one go!
I could not decide on the size I should get and Nancy's Notions had a special sale so I took advantage of the and bought two.
I also purchased this Fiskars Easy Change Fabric Cutter Knife.  It comes with three different blades used for different purposes.


Lastly, I needed a new cutting mat.  The one I had was bent/warped and not usable.  This is a folding mat which when opened it truly lays flat.

Hoping for some sewing time soon!!!

Simplicity 8425

I started a new project over the weekend.  It is Simplicity 8425.  I truly love the look of this pattern.



Here is the fabric I am using, a scuba knit in navy, from Fabric Mart.  So far I have sewn and resewn the darts and stitched the shoulder seams.  I did press the darts but don't looks so attractive on AlmaMarie below.
A lot more to be completed but wanted to share a glimpse of what is in the works.
