The electrician was supposed to come today but called in to work sick. So Janet and I decided to hang the cabinets for the studio kitchenette.
Someone else was supposed to hang them for us but said he wouldn't be able to get back around to it for two more weeks and we wanted to call the countertops guys so we can have the plumber come in to finish once we tile the shower. It's all dominoes and we don't want to keep waiting around with all the scheduling required to line people up without huge breaks!

I spent the day priming things for paint and then I remembered to shoot a quick video. #SewingStudioBuild
I started cutting all the edges while Janet was away yesterday morning. When she got back after lunch, she pulled out a roller and started filling in. I'll put a pic below in the comments. #SewingStudioBuild
We broke for lunch and then came back with a portal ac unit plugged in to an extention cord from the house. Can't wait until they finished hooking up all the electrical and we have the mini split cooling the room for us - it was stupid humid today! #SewingStudioBuild
We had a very quiet Thanksgiving, and I'm doing palate cleansers between the shirts in my shirt gift project, so I ran through the scrap pile and made myself an apron.
Aprons, IME, should be made of thicker fabrics in order to actually prevent splashes and stains from getting to your real clothes. Both of these were skirt leftover bits :)
I started working on a new machine project (a peasant-style blouse from the Itch to Stitch Sew Beautiful book), and I had to make a tweak to the sleeves because my fabric was about 3” too short. So I added a crosswise-cut panel. I thought the print would be busy enough to be ok with the direction change, but it does seem a bit odd, so I’m thinking about adding some embellishment to make it more intentional-looking. So I thought I’d get a second opinion before I stitch it down, since the lace I found in my stash is pretty delicate. The first two are the sleeves with and without, and I’m also considering adding it to the front seam. The top will be split for about 3.5” down, but I haven’t done the pressing and finishing to show that yet.
