I pulled out my sewing machine today to hem a pair of pants. I picked up a pair of fleece pants just after Christmas, predicting that I would live in them this winter. They fill a hole in my mom-drobe. They are every bit as stylish as my yoga pants, just loads warmer. Win! Now that they are hemmed and ready to go, I am quite sure I will begin living in them. I'm wearing them now, in fact.
The hemming chore took less than five minutes. I had the machine out and a sleeping baby and I wasn't quite ready to put it away. Instead, I got out my fabric bins and went through them, pulling out anything that spoke to me. What colorful possibilities! I'm not entirely sure what I'll do with this fabric, but I'm looking forward to piddling around with bright fabrics during the cold (tax busy season) evenings ahead. I'll be sure to keep you posted on whatever I come up with!
I hope that you are finding some happy colors during these cold, cold days.
I think I recognize a few of those. =) The red at the very left looks so much like a print you would find on an early '40s day dress. Looking forward to see what you turn it all into.
ReplyDeleteYes! I love the red print most of all, I think. I've cut something like 170 triangles so stay tuned.
