Mend and Make Do Monday
August 29th, 2011. Filed under: Monday's Musings. 
So far I’ve not managed to do this. Last week I felt like crap really bad and haven’t done much of anything. I don’t know if I’ll get anything mended today, but I have made progress. I’ve pulled a few things to start mending.
I need to fix a zipper and put new hems in a pair of Consumer Man’s pants and mend the neck of a night gown. I also am sitting here giving the evil eye to a comforter which tried to escape when I laundered it. I have about a six inch opening along one side to seam back up.
I’ve also been looking at a skirt I wore sometime last week. It’s very pretty, and I really like it. What I don’t like is the ruffle around the bottom. It’s very full, and looked so nice when I bought that skirt. Well…I ironed the thing once. Now I just wear it without ironing it. You know what it looks like. If I told you, I’d just have to strike it out and try to find another description.
This skirt is also a bit longer than I would like. I think if I just take all that ruffle off and then turn up about a one inch hem, it should be a better length.
So, even if I haven’t actually done any sewing yet. It feels as if I’ve made a little progress. Are any of you all doing the Mend and Make Do Monday? Do you have trouble with life getting in the way of your sewing?
