I know 2 days in a row so far ;)<br />
Because she is a large woman!<br />

<br />
So yesterday she came in after a 30 minute walk and laid down and made a huge puddle of "I am dying" slobber on the floor.<br />
But today was my turn for a problem! When we went yesterday I didn't have any pockets on me, so I took off the house key and clipped it to her collar and held my cell phone. No biggie. Well this morning I walked out the door to go to work, locked the handle from inside and went to lock the bolt with the key..... small problem. I didn't replace the key from yesterday's walk! So I ran across the street to our neighbors and got our spare key (they are a super sweet couple from our church and they watch Eva when we go out of town.) So morning crisis averted. 1 o'clock rolls around again today and we get ready to go out and walk again. I grab the keys and my cell phone and a jacket and we walk out, me locking the the knob handle as I pull the door shut. I go to lock the bolt with the keys that I remembered to grab this time and low and behold.... I grabbed the church keys! They are exactly the same shape and color as the house keys! So now my house key is locked inside and the spare house key is locked inside. The back gate was locked and no way in. Praise God that I took my cell phone :) I called Aaran and he drove 40 mins up from work to let us back in after our 39 minute walk :)<br />

I don't think so...So I know it's been a LONG time since I have posted anything about sewing the Butterick 5383 and that's because it's been a long time since I have sewn anything on it :) I lost my sewing mojo for a while.... but I am still not quite sure it is back :S<br />
<br />
So here is the update..... PROBLEMS GALORE! Really if you know anything about clothing construction, now would be the time to chime in :) because I am stuck at what to do next and I don't know if i can go back either... so here's the damage...<br />
<br />
After some friendly advice from the Joann lady I figured out what the staystitching thing was all about, so I got that in there just fine. <br />

Then I proceeded to the invisible zipper with not too much fuss. (Even though I don't have that invisible zipper block foot thing, I managed with my regular zipper foot.)<br />

Oh dear where do I start! There is so much floppy fabric in the front where it's ruched (sp?)... and because I obviously over ruched the front is TOO SHORT! (Like way too short...) The hips are pretty snug, like afraid to sit down snug and the back above the rump is very fabricy too...<br />
<br />
Now I don't know what to do. To go back and un-ruch some of the side would mean A LOT of ripping out stitches and ripping out the zipper. And even if I did that I am not sure if that would afford me more room in the hips too...<br />
<br />

</div>It was pretty good. It was super small compared to what I was used to going to back in the day when my mom did bazaars at the <a href="http://www.cam-plex.com/building-centralpavillion.htm">Camplex</a>. I wanted to check it out because I am thinking about entering a booth next year. That would be totally exciting and I would have to get a lot of products made!<br />
I met up with my grandma and we perused the 2 aisles. There was a lot of super cute stuff! (Also a lot of things that would not interest me :) ) I could have bought a lot, but since handmade is always a little more costly than retail (unfortunately) I only bought one of the many things I was eying. Behold my new hat!!<br />

There was one particular house that was a huge score and I got a pair of shoes for $1 and tons of clothes for Aaran. I wasn't in love with the shoes, but they were a $1 and they fit.<br />

I filed away all the scattered patterns everywhere and then decided to take care of the dilapidated ironing board.<br />
<br />

(I had a mental brain lapse many months ago and cut something on the ironing board with my rotary cutter... I know, I know!)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The fabric I had that I wanted to use was wider than it was long, so I took the liberty of sewing it together length wise. I figured it was just an ironing board, no one is going to care if there is a seam down the center :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

<br />
I started with the darts; back and front.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Then I sewed the 2 back panels together</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhegblodS_26sSRAcvfJaHSz4O4zRkch0EPP-k3HA1QgmABLHZXIqdBfrbe3h71KH3_3QwNOYi349IyDVTACc_3icLPT_ocauXQ4dEDGqEx3UQqjRRRBQyPDhDdGLSKrJNP-vlrVuHBQg/s1600-h/5383+Back+Pieces.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhegblodS_26sSRAcvfJaHSz4O4zRkch0EPP-k3HA1QgmABLHZXIqdBfrbe3h71KH3_3QwNOYi349IyDVTACc_3icLPT_ocauXQ4dEDGqEx3UQqjRRRBQyPDhDdGLSKrJNP-vlrVuHBQg/s320/5383+Back+Pieces.JPG" /></a> </div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">Not too bad so far. The only "snag" I have run into thus far is what ever material this is, the edges are fraying pretty bad and at one point while sewing the back panels together, the fuzzies got caught up with the thread in the needle and the top thread broke. So I remedied the jam, re-threaded and continued. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Next I put 2 gather stitches on each side of the front panel and also stay stitched the bottom of the V neck area. (Sorry no pictures of that... kinda routine/boring/normal. But how about a scanned pic :) )</div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHSgHN-29vQ28zL3Lhyphenhyphenenkz2NFT-VLATNS3G7nBXimAbepRRCx6RIK5kTezvLAc_oI8bV8xI8JiZLvK3FIi4igsZV5zGH0FxPzPakFoicgkL7qse0u18PP39r_4kB35zeMC6ytMq1BEg/s1600-h/5383+Gather+and+Staystitch.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHSgHN-29vQ28zL3Lhyphenhyphenenkz2NFT-VLATNS3G7nBXimAbepRRCx6RIK5kTezvLAc_oI8bV8xI8JiZLvK3FIi4igsZV5zGH0FxPzPakFoicgkL7qse0u18PP39r_4kB35zeMC6ytMq1BEg/s320/5383+Gather+and+Staystitch.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">And lastly I pulled the right front side gather stitch and then stitched it to the right back side.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">And that is what I have done so far. The only thing I am not too trilled with is the gather.

(It says; "to stay left side opening edge, cut seam binding using back Patter Tissue [2] as guide. Cut seam binding the length of seamline between small circles, plus 1/2".)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I hope I have not gone in over my head with this first one. We will all find out!!<br />
<br />
So here is the dress I am making... <a href="http://butterick.mccall.com/b5383-products-10297.php?page_id=424&search_control=display&list=search">Butterick 5383</a><br />

Butterick recommended Stretch Wovens, Ponte Knits and Jersey. All of which I have no idea what they are! (I suppose I better learn these things if I am going to start sewing my own clothes!!) (Side note, I have been reading <a href="http://twoontwooff.blogspot.com/">Dawn</a> for many weeks now and hope to make beautiful clothes like hers one day!!)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So I have done a tissue fitting just like <a href="http://www.blogforbettersewing.com/">Gertie</a> has instructed me to! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.blogforbettersewing.com/2010/01/tissue-fitting-vlog-part-one.html">Part 1</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.blogforbettersewing.com/2010/01/tissue-fitting-vlog-part-two.html">Part 2</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.blogforbettersewing.com/2010/01/heres-third-and-final-part-in-my-tissue.html">Part 3</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">(And P.S. I can only hope that someone who knows how to sew is reading this because then they can stop me at every point and say "WAIT!! You are making a huge mistake doing A... It is supposed to be done in manner B." So if you are out there and reading please speak up and offer all sorts of advice and knowledge!)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Here is what I found out during my tissue fitting. I definitely need to move into the real world and just buy the pattern based on what the measurements say on the flap!! I am a buying clothes size 12, but definitely not a size 12 is sewing measurements! So here is what I changed;</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">1. I added 2 inches to the shoulder length because the arm opening was squeezing the life out of my armpit.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

And I also added 1.5 inches because I lengthened the neck when I widened the dress.

I have been fussing with all the blogger templates and I just can't seem to figure out how to make my blog a 3 column layout.<br />
<br />
Can anyone help me with this?<br />
<br />
Here are some examples of blogs I read on blogspot that have 3 columns.<br />

Yesterday was just and average day, but it was still wonderful none the less. I did regular morning things and then went to work in the afternoon, but it was the hanging out with the people I love in the evening that made it joyous. I ate cake (it was yum!) and we sang worship and there was craft gifts involved :) But today my list is long a drawn out.<br />
Here is what I had to do this morning....<br />

I also coated the outside with another layer of Mod Podge.<br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5ml1EcgphKUNTP7ZjtYQ1N-ILLH6yVPgdFC68JgliexgCrzALPAfhA653nO_noVISQ21zaP_cTUgcgOETFuoRDmesVbSOwpU7qQSEwziwl_jQf0qMDdPhOQeLidImBK49XdS2BfP2AA/s1600-h/DSCF0905.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5ml1EcgphKUNTP7ZjtYQ1N-ILLH6yVPgdFC68JgliexgCrzALPAfhA653nO_noVISQ21zaP_cTUgcgOETFuoRDmesVbSOwpU7qQSEwziwl_jQf0qMDdPhOQeLidImBK49XdS2BfP2AA/s400/DSCF0905.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430718915428610802" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">While I was at it I figured I would make a matching light switch cover too! :)<br /></div></div>sunflowerlinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11227792382499850909noreply@blogger.com21tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6924514801569912251.post-47615942287425098532010-01-02T11:52:00.000-08:002010-01-02T12:13:15.610-08:00I Feel Swindled...<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.productwiki.com/upload/images/canon_pixma_mp620-400-400.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://www.productwiki.com/upload/images/canon_pixma_mp620-400-400.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><div style="text-align: left;">So a couple of months ago our printer ran out of Black and Magenta ink right in the middle of a very important print session! So I bit the big one and went to trusty Wal-mart and bought the 2 cartridges, totaling around $40 :(<br /><br />Here is where I should have learned 2 lessons, but more on that later.<br /><br />So I went home installed the fresh ink and began to print away again. Half way through the third page, the images are looking very pink and not in a good way... All the pages are finished and then my printer tells me that the Cyan cartridge is now empty! Arg! (So first lesson, check ALL of the cartridge levels BEFORE you go to the store.) So I give up and ask a friend if I can come print out the last page on her computer.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.stinkyinkshop.co.uk/acatalog/STCLI-521PK.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 250px; height: 250px;" src="http://www.stinkyinkshop.co.uk/acatalog/STCLI-521PK.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /></div>So fast forward many months to now. Because we are poor I haven't bought any more cartridges since and have gone without being able to print things. (This has caused a mass pile-up of sticky notes around the desk area....) Well just because I was on Amazon the other day I decided to search printer cartridges. I was shocked! And I felt swindled and had a smoldering dislike for Wal-mart. I found 6 color cartridges (2 of each color) for $14.00! It cost me more than that for 1 color cartridge at Wal-mart.... So I guess that is lesson number 2, shop around. And I definitely won't be going back to Wal-mart for cartridges.... ever.<br /></div></div>sunflowerlinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11227792382499850909noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6924514801569912251.post-36321047408868186912009-12-02T08:25:00.000-08:002009-12-02T08:30:21.321-08:00I love books!I love to read! My 3 favorite books are Les Miserables, The Count of Monte Cristo and Pride & Prejudice. But recently I have been getting e-mails from McCalls with giant craft books and these have really piqued my interest! I am too poor to buy them so I look them up on Amazon and gaze lovingly and then I look for them at the town library :) Most of them aren't there, but I have found some others that are fun. Here are the ones that McCalls e-mailed today that looked fun:<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img.sewingtoday.com/cat/70000/itm_img/FWZ2789.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 300px;" src="http://img.sewingtoday.com/cat/70000/itm_img/FWZ2789.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img.sewingtoday.com/cat/70000/itm_img/FWZ0882.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 300px;" src="http://img.sewingtoday.com/cat/70000/itm_img/FWZ0882.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img.sewingtoday.com/cat/70000/itm_img/FWZ2175.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 300px;" src="http://img.sewingtoday.com/cat/70000/itm_img/FWZ2175.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /></div>sunflowerlinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11227792382499850909noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6924514801569912251.post-9344709793609404152009-11-30T11:31:00.000-08:002009-11-30T11:44:34.114-08:00Giveaways Galore!<div>I haven't managed to sit down and browse my blog list in quite a while!
