I have been a sewing machine the past couple of weeks, which means less time for the Internets since something’s gotta give. Housework has been pretty limited, too, although I did cave in to the laundry (Laundry 987, Mary 0) and fold and put away the mountain heaped on the living room chair.
But when I haven’t been ignoring laundry, I’ve been sewing every chance I get. Between orders, new stuff for Etsy and Miss L’s fall wardrobe, I’ve been mighty busy. In a good way, of course. You’ll have to wait for the fashion show, though. I have yet to get pics of pretty much anything other than this skirt. And I didn’t take that picture, although I was quite involved with it.
I’m quite pleased with it. It’s a wrap skirt made from Sandi Henderson’s Farmer’s Market fabrics. I’ve been meaning to sew it for a while but didn’t get the chance until this week. It turned out even better than I imagined!
OK, back to the sewing room for me. I’ve got work to do!
P.S. Picked up my leftovers from the consignment sale yesterday and I am super happy with my scant pile. Only a couple of mama-mades didn’t sell. Yay!

The skirt is fabulous. I love the Farmer’s Market fabrics. The colors and prints make me smile.

Oh, I just love those fabrics together! In fact, I was just browsing the Farmer’s Market line because I want to make another skirt for my wee one.
