Which could be because my cordless phone is dead and I forgot to pick up a new one yesterday. Ya think that was Freudian? In any case, I ended up with enough time on my hands to start a new project for Lu.
(I seem to be in a bit of a rut in the sewing for me department. Lu doesn't mind.)
I chose this cute Project Runway pattern from Simplicity:
I'm making the yellow version, with the hem band from the black view.
I'm using light purple knit from stash, nicely aged. In fact, it's almost as old as Lu herself. Hee. The best part (of course) is the embellishment, which took the better part of one viewing of Haunted Mansion.
This applique heart is from Anita Goodesign, part of a design collection called Sugar & Spice. I really, really heart Anita Goodesign. But they are pricey. I only buy the collections that I know I can use several different ways. I'm generally more of an individual design purchaser!
Stitched out perfect, even using metallic threads. I have a pucker on the lower right, but that's probably my fault from pulling too hard when tearing off my stabilizer. It should steam out just fine.
Stay tuned! I hope to finish this one tomorrow so I can move on to other things. Like Christmas! People! Do you realize there are only 66 Days til Christmas!??!
Just in case you're not sure (I wasn't), you can go HERE to check and see if you're on the Naughty or Nice list. (I recommend doing so now, while you still have time to mend your fences with the fat man.)
Ok, now I promise not to mention the big C again until after the big H.
