I learned something today.
When cutting bias strips, know where your coffee is. I managed to get not one, but two strips in my coffee.
I had a light yellow piece of Laurel Burch fabric to cut out which will be good for a sunhat. Most of the LB fabric I have is too dark or Christmas. I couldn’t find my bias tape so I make some more. I could buy some,but I really like making my own. It gives my things a personal touch. I had to get some more interfacing. All I have is very light weight and I like a light medium weight for these hats. Luckily, the local Walmart still sells fabric so I didn’t have to go very far. I caught the worker just as she was about to go on break. She wasn’t too happy. But there were a couple of times when I had to go through half the store looking for someone. So, anyway, I bought ten yards. You can never have enough.
I started this post two days ago, but the Internet went down. At least word-press automatically saves your draft every few minutes. Thanks, guys. With all the absolutely beautiful weather we have been having, it’s really hard to blog. I am only inside now because I am talking to a girlfriend on the phone.
I really really really want to make this raincoat. I spent about six hours looking over laminated fabric. When I saw that yellow, I knew I found what I wanted. The lining fabric was some I all ready had. It complements the yellow so well.
Naturally, I made too much.
I have some leftover, but I’ll use it on something else, sooner or later.
