Well, this is different in a few ways. A Joann bag, although the shopping was done by my daughter. A garment pattern, which hopefully will convert into a Halloween costume. Fleece, not my usual fabric.
Hopefully, by the end of the day, there will be a "sweater" for a Despicable Me character. A pink striped sweater. And, maybe, a striped hat with ear flaps. It will be quite a day. But, I love my grand girl and I love a challenge.
Rain all day today. All day. That should keep me sewing. Yesterday I ordered a set of fat quarters from the Just Sew Live! and I'll wait to pick them up until tomorrow. There is a white marking pencil in my order too. I have a chalk marker for marking on dark fabrics, but it's messy and I'm always looking for a better way.
Thanks to Joanne for pointing me to an enjoyable book, Heat Wave by Nancy Thayer. Good story, light reading, nicely written. Just what I was looking for. I was hoping to get the actual book from my library but they didn't have it so I got it from the online library to read on my Kindle. That's good too.
I'm old enough that it's still amazing to me that I can go online and see if my library has a book and if it is available. And if not, whether any of the branches have it. If they do, the book comes to my library on the daily van run.
