My problem? No more drawer space in my sweater drawer. Literally. It is already packed.
My solution? Take the mending and stuff needing alteration out of another drawer. Just enough room for my new sweaters.
Now...I had a stack of things sitting there looking me in the face, asking the inevitable question: How long are we going to sit here while you move us from one spot to another?
"Not very long", said I.
I got all but one of them fixed up yesterday.
I started with the mending. In total, the seams were less than 12" combined.
Then I turned to those nice denim skirts Mom had bought me a while back. They were too short for me as they were, so I decked them out with lace. :) They took a little longer because I basted the lace before stitching in on the machine so I could top stitch.
I have one thing left in my pile. A pair of jeans which I am going to cut off below the pockets and sew some fabric on to make a nice, cheery summer skirt. Still debating on the triple-layer in three different green fabrics or using the red and blue striped fabric...
Oh yes...I also finished up a pair of socks! So a busy hand-work day...
