I spent pretty much the entire weekend in the sewing room. Finished ma little apron (it's cute, very kitschy), made another postcard (this one with sequins!) and...started cutting out hats and scarves. I think I'm up to 4 dozen, not nearly enough, but a decent start.
I have 7 or 8 more lengths of fleece to cut, I need to have 100 sets cut out by the end of this month, then another 100 for August, and we'll start sewing in September.
In other news, I've been in contact with a Chaplain in Iraq that's working with women there, teaching them to sew. They're learning a trade that can help support their families, and he needs sewing supplies. It didn't take very long to come up with 2 flat rate boxes so stuffed full of fabric I had trouble getting them closed. I'm planning on sending a box every couple of weeks, and will send out another box later this week full of thread, scissors and notions. If any of you have items to send, just let me know and I can get them to him.
That's it for Monday :)
