~Sewing And Other Happenings~
It's nice and sunny out, after days of cold and wet rain.The littles are happy to be able to play outside again.
Sophia, Nicholai and I have been reading one of the Boxcar Children books together (I read it aloud to them). I remember when I was little and loved reading the books. It's so much fun reading through them again with Sophia and Nicholai.
Dinner:
Pork Chops
Steamed Beets
Mashed Potatoes
Baby Carrots
And cookie bars for dessert, yum.
I finally made a Edwardian Skirt!
I never wanted to buy the pattern, as the skirt looks so simple. I finally studied the skirt very hard and then used one of my old standby 6 gored skirt patterns as a rough idea for it.
And I like the way it turned out.
The shirt is a new one that I just bought today for 25 cents (at the small, small thrift store down in our little Wesleytown) - talk about good deals!
I'm going to have to do a little bit of work to it though, as I it has a collar ( that you can't see, as I turned it under...) that I want to take off.
Oh yes, and that makes the 3rd white piece of clothing that I have ever bought. I know, I never wear white...
The skirt is made out of black linen that I just found on sale half price at the fabric store.
I've never thought of using my conductors that way--sure saves a lot of pinning.
