Homesteading: A Woman's Journey

Sewing Spree

10:48, Thursday, September 14, 2006 .. Posted in Sewing Room .. 0 comments .. Link
Yesterday, I went on a sewing spree.  Joe's parents watched Abbie for the afternoon so that I could get some diaper covers sewn.  My order for the water barrier fabric had arrived so I wanted to get a jumpstart in making them.

Between the sewing I did yesterday and also today, I managed to sew 2 snoods, 4 veil-type headcovers, 2 aprons, 1 quilt-block pin cushion pillow, and about a half dozen diaper covers.  I had planned to get more sewing done, but had a wonderful surprise.  Joe was able to stop by the house for dinner tonight and then spent the night before leaving at 5am tomorrow morning to make his delivery.  It feels so good to have him home during the work week.  When he leaves in the morning, they will probably run him alot of miles.  The company he works for likes to have the drivers get as many miles as possible.  So, he will most likely not get home for the weekend until either late tomorrow (Friday) night or sometime Saturday morning. 

Tomorrow, I am going to try and get more sewing done.  I am having so much fun with it.  I am finding it to be very relaxing.  I have alot of fabric cut to make a patchwork quilt.  I am going to start on a crib quilt.  I have a bunch of polar fleece that I am going to use for the batting.  That should make a really warm and comfy quilt for her.
