A Big Day in My Sewing World
If any of my podcast listeners are going to be there, please let me know and we can arrange a meet-up!
I wore my brain out yesterday—and the calculator—going through the payroll stuff with a fine-tooth comb to make sure everything that needed to be filed and paid had been done. I had to organize it all in a form that the accountant could understand, too, because the first half of the year had been done in QuickBooks and the second half had been done manually. All of the payroll reports for 2025 have been filed and I think there is a good paper trail for the accountant.
I have not felt like sewing, though, and I know better than to push it. When I get like this, I have a tendency to start fifteen different projects simultaneously. Better to wait until I can focus and drill down. I cleaned the house instead.
Next up, for sure, are the Burnside Bibs and the men’s jogger pants patterns, because I need class samples. I’ll start by tracing those patterns this afternoon. Once they are done, l can make some tops. I succumbed and ordered three yards of this French terry fabric from Nature’s Fabrics the other day because it is just so gorgeous:
I think it will become a Jalie Nathalie top. I have two and they are in constant rotation.
And I want to make a few things on my embroidery machine. March is going to be here before I know it and my sewing time is going to disappear.
