I guess we're just going to try to get a little better at it.
I'm trying to make a voile skirt, but my sewing machine doesn't work right with light weight fabrics, so I'm sewing it by hand. A little here, a little there, and it will get done; but not in a hurry. It's been a while since I've done this, but it's a quiet thing to do, and I like it. It's making me think that I should pick up some knitting again, when I'd quite decided to resist the idea.
My sewing machine decided not to cooperate some time ago, and I'm too lazy to try to fix it, so I'm sewing everything by hand now... It's more work (the old truth about the results of laziness), but it's also much more relaxing.
ReplyDeleteThat's too bad, Hana - mine only gives trouble with fine weight fabric; it makes all the seams puckered - as if I wanted to gather everything.
ReplyDeleteOn another note, I'm making the salmon patties again today, and will bake them in the oven, as you did. We'll see!
I've never baked the salmon patties, but they've been a staple in our home since I was a little girl (I use my Mom's recipe). I love that fabric!
ReplyDeleteThanks - it's Anna Maria Horner's voile - nice quality. The color isn't right, though; it's brighter yellow, less greenish-looking.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was fine fabric, but it just kept tangling the thread and tearing it and generally doing things I did not want it to do... so I gave up in the end. I still believe it should be fixable, but I have not mustered the courage yet...
ReplyDeleteVoile skirt sounds great. Very pleasant to wear, I imagine!
