We were able to spend a few hours downstairs in the sewing room. I was glad I had committed to the sew-in because on my own I think I would have probably spent my evening watching Dr. Who.
Instead, Coleen and I had fun picking out an outfit for Coleen to sew for her brand new cousin Adelaide from Ottobre. Here Coleen is starting to trace out the patterns.
And I flat-felled the side seams and hemmed the two shirts I am making for William. Now I just need to hem the sleeves, add buttons and buttonholes and oh, yeah attach the collar - I've been avoiding that. I need to be wide awake for that step!
You might think I'm ahead of the game since I'm making two short sleeve shirts in February, but I have a confession to make- they've been at this stage since last August! Ah, yes...procrastination.

Oh, I love sewing for babies... love your blouses too... very nice indeed!
William's shirts are looking very professional! My husband loves the Hawaiian shirts that I make for him, but isn't keen on me making him work clothes... The Friday Sew-In idea is a cool one. Will you do any more in the future? How did you connect with the others?
I have a quilt I've been ignoring since May.
At least you made some progress!
The shirts will be ready for spring! Great FNSI!

How great that you and Coleen spent the evening together, sewing! That makes it even more special.
I agree! attaching the collar is not something to do at the end of a long day ;)
Glad you enjoyed FNSI!
