Too much to do!
~I just went through the mountain that's been growing on my sewing table. I have:
5 repairs
5 items to turn into diapers(after I draft the large diaper pattern that is
)
1 shirt to alter
holey socks to turn into a rag
and a pair of booties cut out need to be sewn
This has to be done by this weekend! I'm tired of moving the pile from table to chair to table to chair as I work in the kitchen. :/
Anyone wanna sew with me this week?~~Constance

I'm almost done with my third jacket.
I still have 2 more to do that I haven't even cut out yet.
I also have fabric & patterns to make jumpers for my granddaughters.
It's a good thing I work well under pressure!Jean

I have a lot to finish by Christmas too! Ugh! I'm sewing an outfit for an American Girl doll for a gift and I'm also working on a quilt. I'm at the hand quilting stage and I need to just sit down and stitch!

~I got it all done!!!! I even took a little extra time today to sew up the stack of baby wipes I'd cut out and make a pair of baby legs.
I guess for next weekend I'll have to take some projects out of my "to-finish" tote and move them from chair to table all week. Then maybe I'll be so a annoyed again that I'll plow right through them.
