I had an appointment today, so my in-laws watched the kids. They offered to take the kids all day so I could get a few things done. I was hoping to clean my house. I was hoping to go for a run. I was hoping to run to the store to buy mulch. I did none of that.
I was productive, just not in the way I intended to be. My MIL lent me her serger again (seriously, she takes the kids all day and lends me a really nice serger, how great is she?). I wanted to make sure I still remembered how to use the serger, so I ran to the store to get fabric for a dress. Then I made myself that dress. It’s a Halloween dress that glows in the dark (my life is pretty awesome).
It is not exactly flattering, but I don’t mind. It feels like I’m wearing incredibly comfortable pajamas when I wear it, so come October 1 this is all I will be wearing.
While at the fabric store I found some camel fabric. Obviously I needed to make a pair of camel shorts for Elliot.
I couldn’t just make shorts for Elliot. I also needed to make a pair for Audrey, so I picked up some unicorn fabric I new she would love.
I picked up fabric for a couple of other project this morning too. My plan is to avoid the fabric store until September 14 when I head out on a girls trip to Missouri to go fabric shopping. Wish me luck.

I think I might have to make some pants to match, because I love the fabric so much.

Sewing sounds much more fun than cleaning or exercising, I think you chose well! What part of Missouri are you visiting??

Nope, I haven’t, even though it’s only about an hour north of me. What’s the attraction there? You’ll have to let me know if it’s worth visiting!

I’m told there are lots of quilt shops. I’m not a quilter, but I’m happy to go along for the ride. I’m sure I’ll buy fabric for something random.
