Nice little two-day job for Fashion Beading! We even remembered to put our tags in the two giant curtain panels. =)
Thankfully, the vertical seams steamed open and flat really well! I hung the panels off the side of the cutting table and just used the steamer and some downward tension with my other hand. (pic 3 is before and pic 4 is after steaming)
Photo 5 was one panel carefully folded into 8 layers so I could trim and straighten the top edge to finish the panels at the proper length. (We hemmed them first and then adjusted from the top.)
We also had a brief visitor mid-morning today. He hates the stairs and never bothered to climb them before. He meowed and left when we didn't come outside.

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
Merry Christmas, everyone!
If you're looking for something Christmasy to listen to/watch over the next few days, here's the most recent episode of my favorite podcast Blurry Creatures. It's a really fascinating (and nerdy) deep dive into the Biblical story of the Magi.
Two days after my son turned in his last paper for his bachelor's degree, I finished my shirt sewing project. Eight shirts, made to measure. Most of the fabrics are linen. Yes, regrettably you can tell exactly when I got my sewing machine repaired... but I hope these help him as he moves through his master's program and in life.
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 :)
