Today's Sewing Adventures
Looks like an aerial view of a great snowy mountain with trees and fences as mere specks and lines...

VELVETEEN!
Boy, does it shed! I have used three sheets on our lint roller to get it off my skirt, and have lots of sweeping and vacuuming to do!
I'm about half-done. I have the main part of the bodice done (I managed, I think!) and now have the sleeves and finishing touches to do.
Forgive my message hair in the picture. :-P
I did something else silly today. I was going to change the needle from working with the [extremely slippery] lining to the thick velveteen, and I wasn't holding onto the needle as I unscrewed it so it fell INTO the inside of the sewing machine!! :-S
It wasn't hard to get out though. Mommy and I just turned it over, unscrewed the bottom, and retrieved it-- along with several broken straight pins and a LOT of lint!!
Fun experiences. :-)
Events are the Lord's; the responses are ours...
even in sewing!
I hope you are all having a good week and setting your eyes on the Lord.
Commit your works unto Him!

Elinor, you made me laugh with that phrase, "Black stars in a white sky"!!! :D
Glad to see your progress! I can't wait to see the finished product. I really should post pictures of my sister and I's trip to England with Jennie chancey on my xanga. I have on facebook, but not xanga yet. My sister made me a green spencer for the trip, a white gown, and of course my favorite out of all three an ice blue gown! Ice blue is my favorite color! So I was overjoyed.
To the KING be all the glory!

Rebecca, I saw some of your pictures on your blog earlier today; I am still trying not be envious of you all on that trip. ;-) Your dresses are just beautiful...
Yes i will post Bath photos sometime this week as well. I still can't believe I went there! I really did not know I would be going at this time last year. Look at my blog and I commented back where I put the story of myself getting to go. Originally only my sister was going.
Yes in the Bath photos I wear the spencer my sister sewed all my hand.

She has been quite busy as you will see.
God bless you Melanie thank you for your prayers and I will be praying for you too!
It looks like it's coming along really well!! I don't sew much, but I can sympathize with you on the lint and rollers...the last time I washed Ben's black church pants they must have been in with something very 'linty'. I think I used almost a whole lint roller and then re-washed them before they were acceptable again!!
btw, I finally updated my blog ;)
