Finishing Up

[atherleisure]

I finished off the 1878 bathing suit Thursday night and finished the 1930's geometric sweater last night. The goal for tonight is to finish hemming dresses for band freshmen and then to take a little off the top edge of my 1890's corset.

And if anyone noticed that there wasn't an update on the cross-stitching, it's because I've barely worked on it since the last update. I've been busy with other things.

Woohoo! Two things done in one week.

I wonder if having a mom that sews is rarer and rarer for schools now and what other schools do. I remember my aunt altering my cousin's daughter's hula outfits with her hula troupe because she was much thinner/smaller than everyone else over a decade ago and that was rare.

I know there are a couple of other moms who sew, though I don't know if they sew as much as I do. They've got me for a few more years, and then hopefully there will be someone else to take my place. Next year they're getting new marching uniforms so they shouldn't need nearly as many repairs for a few years. (I'm sure there will be some; these are teenagers we're talking about.)
