This week I embroidered numbers on hats for Aaron's football team. Their playoffs are today and last night my daughter and the team mom delivered a bag with a hat, wolf cookie, and candy to each player's doorstep.
The hats were easy enough. Use a font in the embroidery machine. Hoop the stabilizer, spray on some basting spray, position the hat, embroider. I used black thread in the bobbin so the numbers would look good even if there was a tension mishap.
I enjoy that kind of project, knowing that the guys would be happy to find a surprise on the day of a big game in the life of a ten-year-old. Or eleven-year-old.
Other projects for the week: running a seam in the top of curtains so there would be a header above the rod pocket. I put a piece of blue masking tape on my machine and used that as a seam guide.
And, fixing a blouse so that the back would be even with the front, not longer.
And, making a pair of sweat pants two inches shorter.
Working Monday and Tuesday at a big sewing event and seeing so many of my friends.
That's been my week.
