Sewing Inspiration Links {Another Postlette}
24 July 2009 | by Jen in Sewing
This image is an oldie but goody. I love this skirt though I hardly wear it; I think I like it better on the form! Anyway, I was going to post a lesson or talk about my wedding dress today; I have (had?) this wonderful picture of my family from the 50s that I was going to include in the post. But I can’t find it. My fiance’s sister was in town a couple of weeks ago so I “straightened up” my room and, of course, I put things in seemingly logical places that are far from them. The worst part is I’m an avid recycler (Ok, not’s not really a bad thing) and I’m wondering if it ended up in the recycling by mistake (being in a nondescript off-white note card-type frame). So then I started to freak out and cleaned up my room for reals this time and I still can’t find it! Then, naturally, I ate too many chocolate chip cookies to cope and now I have a stomach ache.
So, ANYHOW, I’m posting a few links for you in lue of a normally scheduled sewing lesson post:
Must-read: Alicia shares some words of sewing wisdom
See Casey’s completely awe-inspiring Alice dress
Check out what Elizabeth made for her daughter Caitlin – as always, lucky girl!
Wish me luck finding that photo! I really hope it’s in here somewhere…
What are your thoughts, dears? | ♥ 4 Comments
The skirt is adorable, and I found your photo story both heart-breaking and funny. I can totally relate to your coping skills – I tend to seek comfort in chocolate, too. I’m wishing you tons of good luck finding your photo. It would be a shame if it were lost for real.
Aww thanks Jen! I was laughing through your post because I recently have done the very same thing! miss placing something, then cleaning and still not finding it
I hope you do find that photo. It will probably turn up in the most unusual place!
I really loved Alicia’s sewing post, wasn’t her childhood magical?! She’s so adorable.
P.S. I made some homemade strawberry ice cream and made the mistake of eating it too late,and I too have a tummy ache
Thank you for the sewing lesson !
Oh, I hate that feeling… I misplace Very Important Things a lot, but so far they have always come back. I have my fingers crossed that you find the photograph (and recover from your stomachache) very soon.
