Task Completed

All 14 are completed.  I contacted the DHS shelter today, and was sew excited when the woman answered the phone and knew exactly what I was speaking about when I said "pillowcase tops or nightgowns"!  They definitely can use them - she asked what time I would be there because she would have someone meet me at the back door!  It will be Friday before I can deliver the tops.  I will get the last 2 pics posted and also give you all the info on the shelter. 

Twelve of Fourteen

Here are 12 of the 14 that are completed. Some need to be pressed, some pics are repeats.   The colors are of a bit off in some of the pics - (you will notice a blue tint to  - I have now learned that it is 'improper lighting')  After I take pics of the last two,  I will combine some of the previous posts showing the close up of the trim, flower, etc.  

Sew for now:

A few more pics

Here are a few more pic - still have more to do but will be attending the Tulsa Swap O Rama Rama so it will be Sun or Mon.  Not for sure on my total count, but I do have to STOP!  I hit the thrift store again on Wed - vowing to NOT buy anymore pillowcases - hmmmmmm - I think I ended up with 5 more.  That has to be it because I only have a few days left to complete them.  I have "fiddled around" trying to get some pics, but I am really having trouble with my camera - sew   - I just stacked them up and started taking pics.  Will caption and details later.  You can see I used the rolled edge on some to the armholes - not quite a heavy at the bias tape.  Enjoy!

Once again

I tried to take some pics with the webcam - but the color is way off.  Here are a couple of shots.  Tomorrow I will just take a pic of each one and that will be that!  Had a busy day today - did not get any sewing done.  The best laid plans, right?  I guess I better put a new camera on my bday list - to go along with the IPad and the Triumph 650 - ROFL!!!!!
Almost cut my hair today, but the words to the song came to mind - "Almost cut my hair"  sew I didn't!  I do think it is time for a new do.  Better get it done before I go to Texas! 
Until tomorrow - Happy sewing to you, until we meet again!

this is actually a royal blue and white strip

A Total of Ten

I now have a total of ten completed.  I have decided to just call them nightgowns! I know............
I tried to take pictures the other day, but I am having some trouble with the settings on my camera and no - I do not know where the book is.  Two weeks ago I could have found it......... I will try to get them posted in the next day or two ok?  This last week was one crazy week - but I did locate a few pieces of fabric that will work for the boys shorts (which will be next weeks project).  I have some of the drawstring elastic and I think I will use that.  Has anyone else tried it?  I will do a little research on it, but it seams the way to go - will give more room for adjustment.  Any suggestions?

One other thought - I keep forgetting about the web cam - I can take pics with it.  Ok - another project - just what I need.  Should be simple, right?  We shall see.

 Sewing is truly mending my soul.
