Me on Monday ~ The Ginger Edition

Today you’ll find me a little distracted. My girl has her Art exam. The first half of it anyway. She was a bit anxious when she left, although excited to be spending an uninterrupted five hours drawing. The best thing of all? She’s missing PE!

For her, it was a rough sketching, preliminary drawing sort of weekend.

For me, it was all about the Ginger skirt. A denim ironing, grain line measuring (why didn’t I think of using my quilting ruler before?), pattern tracing, fabric cutting…..

…..waistband assembling (loving those polka dots for the inside), seam finishing (in my favourite old school style), edge folding (the Ezy-Hem makes it so easy), zip avoiding kind of weekend.

Me on Monday? I can’t put it off any longer. Wish me luck.

Waving back to Sian on this beautiful sunny afternoon. Coffee in the garden to look forward to, once I’ve conquered that pesky zip.

    The skirt is looking lovely and I bet by now that zip is in and looking wonderful.
    Hope the art exam went well. It's good to get one 'under your belt' and I'm sure she'll be full of how it went when she gets home.
    Looking forward to seeing you model that skirt very soon!

    My kids are both neck deep in exams right now - Henry has mid terms and Clara has college entrance exam. We hate the stress and are keeping our fingers crossed for good results.
