Still sewing underwear. Here's a little set I made about 2 weeks ago. It's dark brown stretch lace (sounds scary but it's actually very soft) with some super cool light blue stretch lace trim. I found both of these items here locally at Mill Ends. They actually have quite a bit of this type of stuff, and I have learned the hard way that you really need to feel and stretch potential fabrics before buying. It's just too risky taking a chance of what you will wear on your bum. The stretch lace trim I have great success with buying online, but not the stretch lace fabric.
This was copied from a DKNY set I had bought years ago and loved. It was dumb expensive when I bought it and once again, I am in shock at what is charged for these types of items. There is a cotton gusset sewn in the knickers in dark brown. I have a few dark t-shirts I use for the cotton lining gusset material.
I did make it to Molly's book-signing and it was so wonderful to hear and see her in person. Then I found myself chatting later with people and talking about making underwear. So, it was a good evening.
Thanks for the spoon print love. The week was made even worse by the disappearance of our beloved 12-year old orange cat, Lionel. He has been gone 6 days now and I fear the worst. You all know how pet loss is and how it makes you cry in public and all that, so add the death of Gramps in there, and I am a soup of emotional craziness. But, we are moving forward and I am trying to stay positive while knowing that he is probably really gone. The girls are all ready for kittens or possibly a tree frog, they say. I am trying to borrow their enthusiasm and their kid-way they deal with stuff.
One more thing, I'm trying to write down more rhymes, you never know when you will need to bust out some rap (um, I don't think the kids say rap anymore, huh?) and Pete just rhymed frittata with gymkata.
