Lastest working

So I am sewing a dress for my niece.  I would show you pictures but just in case the groom is lurking, no pictures till after the wedding. 

I should be sewing it right now, but I am not.  I am off to cook breakfast and take a shower, then pick some plums and make some jame with 3 boys in tow.  I will find some time to work on the dress, I am dreading the zipper and hence the procrastination.  What it is about zippers I hate...I am not sure but I hate them and avoid them as much as possible though I can put them it, but the thought makes me crazy.

What do you all put off doing sewing wise?  Cutting?  Seam ripping, Mending.  I know I have a pile of 5 minute jobs hanging around, myself.  I did clean my sewing/family/leatherwork room yesterday.  Well as clean as a sewing room gets. :)  I swepted and picked up the floor so I shouldn't step on a pin.  Here is my semi clean sewing room (see how much I hate zippers I cleaned instead of sewing in a zipper.)

Ironing table board and desk with quilting pieces, chair with wedding dress pieces, and dear jane.

Some of my stash, a mending job, thread and fabric piled on top and a computer for watching netflix.  ;)


Sewing table my hubby made which is also perfect for leather work so I chose to share.

  1. I used to clean to avoid doing homework when I was in school. UGH!

    For me...it's the cutting out that I dread.

  2. I just spent the morning mending a ton of things that have been gathering on my sewing machine for over two months. I hate mending because I have to get everything out and put it away for only a 5-10 minute job. It takes more time to get it all out and put it all away (right) than it does to do the actual mending. I also got my son's Eagle badge sewn on and my other son's cub scout arrow points finally sewn onto his shirt! All done for another couple months...
