No.
Well, not until today.
There have been many times over the last 10 months I have thought about blogging. But just didn't. I was pregnant, then I had a newborn (go figure), my oldest started kindergarten and not much sewing was going on. Then my machine kind of died.
Over Christmas my grandma offered me her Husqvarna. So yesterday I picked her up, the machine that is. Here she is straight from 1984 and she sews like a dream.
Currently I'm considering names; Old Gal, little hussie, Black Beauty, or since she's Swedish maybe something like Hedda would be more appropriate.
Like a kid getting a new present I couldn't wait to sew. I knew I wanted to make a new apron and I love this one from Anthropologie. It's called Sewing Basket Apron. Appropriately named due to the many scraps of fabric and trim. Well I pulled out my scrap fabric and box of ric rac, lace, bias tape and ribbon, most of which was donated to me by a wonderful lady at church. Here is what I came up with....my Anthropologie inspired apron. It's a way different color pallet but I'm happy with it.
I also originally had ruffled the skirt but I didn't like how it fit my waist so I took it out and made it straight.
Well, off to sew for the second night in a row... a winner in my book. Easter is two weeks away and I think some new skirts are in order.
Hopefully I will blog some more and catch you up on all the dresses and quilts I have completed in the last 10 months.
Until then........
Holly
