Progress (or more specifically, the lack there of)
This Sunday was my baby girl's baptism, and so little sewing happened for well over a week. I am hoping to finish the purple jacket this week. More this weekend.....

Progress
Alessia is learning to sleep swaddled in a swing, which means I've done a bit of hand sewing lately. I slip stitched the lining to the body of the purple jacket, and I sewed up the hem. I need to attach the closures and turn up the cuffs. I'll have photos this weekend. Yeah!

In Progress
I have managed to get some work done recently. I'm slip stitching the sleeves of the purple jacket closed and have ironed up the hem. I also resewed the areas where the sleeve seams meet the body seams so that they don't pucker any more. There are no pics. No excuses. I just haven't gotten my act together enough to do it.
I also dug out an old skirt that my husband bought me in Cambodia some years ago. It's a straight wrap skirt. I've never worn it, because I don't like straight cut skirts, but I do take it out every now and then and touch the lovely decorative band across the hem. I'm thinking of making a pair of loose yoga pants (from the Sew Everything Workshop book) and using the decorative band from the skirt.
