Organized Fabric Cutting

I put my new shelving unit together on Thursday and organized all my Accuquilt dies:

The cutter sits on that table to the left. This will make fabric cutting much more efficient.

The husband and I need to move furniture around today. Some pieces have to go over to the rental house, and he has an old rolltop desk that belonged to his grandfather that we want to put in the living room.

The rental house needs some work, and those projects are on the husband’s list of tasks for the spring. A tree came through the roof last year and into one of the bedrooms, so that ceiling needs to be patched and repainted. The deck also has to come off and be replaced.

I spent the rest of Thursday making class samples for my Sew Expo serger class. I wish they had given me a longer class period, because 90 minutes isn’t going to be long enough to teach everything I want to teach. I am pretty sure I asked for a 2-1/2 hour slot in my class proposal. I am including everything in the handout anyway, with the caveat that if students want to try certain techniques outside of class, they will be able to do so with the materials included in the kit. I will be putting kits together this week. The handout is written.

I taught a class on the Tremont Jacket yesterday. The Tremont was the pink and black plaid jacket that I made from the Ann Maria triple-gauze fabric. I had three students:

We had a fun time. I also left the finished McCall’s 8636 pants at the store. That class is on the calendar for April.

I’ll be heading to Missoula this week to teach a serger mastery class at the Bernina dealer there. Hopefully, I’ll have a chance to stop in at The Confident Stitch, too. It’s been a while since I’ve been to Missoula.

And it’s probably time to order seeds.
