Wool Surplus

Remember this skirt?



After taking it apart, washing it and pressing, it yielded about four yards of fabric!



Soon it will be BAG.

Buy AND Sell - Urban Craft Uprising

If you're around Seattle, hope you can make it to this! I'll be selling bags at a booth with Chikabird all weekend. I'm pretty sure it's air-conditioned.....

Gimme A Sandwich!

When I grow weary of sewing, I like to relax with a bit of sewing. Cross stitching was something I attempted as a kid, but abandoned before the first piece was done. I've been chipping away at this rendering of a sandwich for about a month. Maybe by December it will be a pillow!



I found the picture in an old book, and then transferred the design with SARAL (my favorite invention). Then I used different colored Sharpies to color code the thing. Hopefully I won't regret this pen choice when it's done! Sharpies do like to bleed...

70's Design in Idaho

I took the weekend off to go camping in Idaho with my sisters and mom, and we stopped at this amazing viewpoint. It overlooks a Nez Perce Indian battleground.



Only I wasn't looking at the view so much as the building itself.











Later that day we stopped at a rest area which had to have been designed by the same person...



Back to work!

These guys have the zipper pocket in there, too. Hope your summer is doing its job for you!
