Attacking the sewing center
Aug. 18th, 2007 10:02 pmToday I wanted to sew some new pants. (Pretty much nothing fits any more except the couple pairs I bought recently.)

I succeeded in clearing off several bags of projects from the top of the sewing storage cabinets and cleared out 3 of the 6 drawers that had sewing stuff stuffed into them in a rush back last December.

"The pillows of unfinished lace" -- sort of like the island of unwanted toys. And just to prove that I come by my project procrastination honestly, among the unfinished lace projects is a linen placemat with unfinished drawn-work decorations that my mother started back before I was even a gleam in her eye.
And then I remembered that there was a second file drawer upstairs where I kept sewing patterns and found the pants pattern.
