 Of course none of them are waiting for me because they don't care if I'm taking pictures again. You know, it's a thing. Good morning everybody. It's Monday, September 2nd. We are headed out to the grocery store. The kids are coming over later for a barbecue but we need food to cook for them. So all right I'll be back. It's 9 28 a.m. I don't really need to do but I want to do... Okay I didn't think I'd get the last five videos for 2019 filmed today but guess what I did? Good evening. It's Wednesday, September. I don't think I've vlogged all day today. I spent the day chatting with friends and editing the last five videos for 2019. So all the commitment videos for the rest of this year are done and loaded and scheduled or whatever is going to happen with them. They're all done. I'm going forward because I have done everything in advance. I've tried hard to put in all of the promised links in the description or the ones that are for hops when I get them. I'll be adding them. If I forget something, y'all tell me please. Put something in the comments and I'll fix it. One's already been caught and it wasn't a commitment video. It was the vlog. I'm sorry it was my muse. Anyway we're going to go for a walk and try to work the kinks out from sitting in the desk all day. All right I'll be back. Good morning. I just took my picture accidentally again. Holy cow. It's Thursday morning, September 5th I think. Yeah 5th. I had to count. Yes I had to count. Um holy moly. I am it's just before oh sorry it's just after 9 a.m. it's 9 o'clock 1 a.m. I am headed out to go run Aaron's early. I want to get them over with before it gets too people-y outside and get them done. So he's off to do that for a couple of days because the kids are also out of time. I think she's tired of bringing it back people. Lily ball I think we're done. I hope the knit fabric is not too thin but I guess we'll find out what to make. So I got the three things cut out. I actually have a fourth piece of fabric to cut out but I want to see how the one dress turns out first before I cut into the other fabric. I also have do you see that pile? That's a pile of fabrics and trims that I need to go through because the space that I want to store them is limited and I have a tendency to be a fabric order. So there fun fact along with all the rest of my art supplies. I did some purging before we moved but I didn't do enough purging like with many things here in the art room and other places in the house because I wasn't real sure how much storage space for certain things there was going to be. Now that we're here and I'm settled in now I know. So I need to go through that. I need to get some sewing done but first I'm going to go downstairs and check on Lily Bean and I'm going to break for lunch. And why do I call her Bean? Because she's a little jumping bean and she likes to jump. Yeah because that's a thing. I'm working on breaking her up but I'm not going to hold my breath. All right that's it for the moment. I'll be back. I should tell you all that I spent good 15 minutes looking for my knit stay tape which I use around all the hems of the neckline and the armholes and the hem around the bottom on anything that I make that's a knit. I either use the knit stay tape or knit interfacing and that's why I pulled actually stuff out of the closet because I couldn't remember where I put said stay tape. Do you see where it is? Yeah I'm so swift sometimes I just slay myself. All right I'll be back. Okay so I made myself this cute um I think it's cute um sort of a knit shift dress. It's a little bit of a thin knit so I did make a couple of sort of knit slips, knit under dresses. I don't know so um I'll throw some pictures up about here of those. I have my leggings on underneath which is what I was wearing today. I messed up the darts a little bit. I'm a little rusty with the whole sewing thing but I don't think anybody's going to notice except me but I do know now I may I want to make another one and I may just not put the darts and I may recut the pattern to eliminate the darts. I really like the neckline and the the kind of shape of it here. I don't think it needs a darts and it's a knit fabric so I don't understand and the pattern's intended for knit so I don't understand why it has darts to begin with. This fabric is okay um but it wasn't definitely my favorite and it was um on sale so I picked it to sort of try one. I will wear the dress but I think I have some really cute fabric. I think I'm gonna like I said just not put the darts in because I think that would be better. Anyway what do you all think? All right that's it for now. I gotta clean out my mess and then feed Lily Bean. I'll be back. Okay I still have to go through that stash of fabric which I kind of want to do today and honestly I'm home alone with a dog so I have nothing else to do but I think I'm gonna go get the mail first. Take a break from the sewing room. I recut the pattern and took the darts out. Not only were they a pain I just don't think they're necessary and I don't think that they add a ton to the shape of the dress. I think if I shape the front correctly and add a little bit more um fabric on either side of the bust line um because it's a knit I'm gonna be making them at a knit and thin draping knits at that. I know I think I can get away with not having them. I think it's silly to have them so we're gonna fix it. Um this is why when I do buy a pattern I don't spend much money for them. I either get them at the thrift store or I buy them for like $3.99 or less when Joann's is having a sale so anyway um this is a new look pattern and it's $3.99 regular price anyway plus I had a coupon so I will um put um the pattern that I used for the knit slip thing which is also a dress pattern by the way and the one for the blue uh in the description below if y'all want to try it and look them up um it's a little bit drizzly outside but I might take you know who with me and go for a WALK. Yes we have to spell it we're like Mike Deacon and Ian Campbell because if we don't spell it yeah somebody goes crazy like Bentley so I'm gonna go get ready and I'll be back. She just ate and I swear to God she came over to me as soon as she was done and said can I have some of your food? No I got the other fabric cut out for the other dress without the darts so we'll see um how it goes worst case scenario I have enough fabric to do one other one because they it was a bolt end situation and I got a good deal on it well I'm standing up on a letter out so it's all cut out I didn't get rid of as much fabric as I thought I was going to but um I did get rid of a few things I started a box under the table again like I did last time actually one of the auction boxes was started that way it was under the table and some of the things that were in there got divided up among all the auction items and I spread things out and anyway I got another box going there's already a piece of original artwork in there a few tools I'm not using and some knit fabric scraps some interfacing I don't know what else is going to end up in there but I'll let you all know when it's ready I'm going to sit down and eat my dinner now and watch some more can't pay we'll take it away I don't know what it is with me in that show but I'm addicted so addicted that in Star Trek holy cow anyway it has been a great week an interesting week and I got more sewing done than I thought I was going to holy cow but anyway it's been a fun week and hopefully next week will be the same I hope you guys have had a good one I will make sure to put any relevant links in the description below as always my link tree list of links where you can find me on social media support the free content and all that jazz is also in the description below along with my happy mail address so check it out have a great week I'll see you next week go out and do something nice for yourself because you deserve it I'll see you later bye guys
