It’s hard to update a journal that no one reads, let alone comment on. Let’s face it – I love attention. I love getting a billion comments on my post. And since no one reads this journal I find it really hard to bring myself to keep it updated. Even my LiveJournal – I hardly write in that now. =\ But this isn’t for other people, right? This is for me and my sewing. So in ten years I can look back on what I was doing. I’ll try and be more faithful to this journal. No promises tho.

I’ve been really good this week about my sewing tho! I’m happy to report that I’ve work on something after work almost ever day this week. Wednesday I didn’t; Rusty came over for dinner and I felt like I needed a break. This week was spent on Josie’s sailor outfit. I got the top to fit,  but I’m not happy with the design, so back to the drawing board on that one. The skirt…OMG! I’m not a happy Cammy. Can I say how much I HATE the way patterns are sized?! Seriously, you THINK they could be closer to RTW sizing to make everyone’s life easier. I have problem with cutting out a size 12 skirt for a girl who is the size of my THIGH and it doesn’t fit her! To be fair I need to be looking at her measurements and going COMPLETELY off of those number and not the “size.” It’s making me doubt my sewing skills when I make a size 12 skirt and it doesn’t fit someone who is super skinny. It makes me think I’m doing something wrong. Whatever. Forget patterns! It’s a simple circle skirt, so I can make one without.

Since I needed a break from my sizing problems I made Leslie a pinstripe skirt…which had it’s own set of problems! In order to get the pinstripes to run vertically I had to completely unfold the fabric and cut it that way. It’s such a waist of fabric to do it that way, but I didn’t know how else to get around it. I’m sure if I spent more time trying to find a better solution I could have, but I wanted to get the skirt done. Then the zipper gave me trouble, and the hem. I just need to cut the pattern to the right length instead of trimming off four inches of fabric once it’s cut out. Gr! But the rest of the skirt came together really nicely! I’ll post pictures sometime within the day.

I’m happy to say Joann’s is having a HUGE sale over the weekend and I WILL be spending all of my money there. LOL! I’m kinda sad the sale doesn’t start until Sunday, but what’s a girl to do? It give me time to work on Alyssa’s clothes, which I haven’t touched in a long ass time. I have a feeling that this weekend is going to be $100.00+ shopping trip to Joanns. I have a long list of new patterns I wanna get (.99 each! can’t beat that!), I need fabric for my Rainbow Bright costume, fabric for Rosie’s Super Secret Gift, fabric for Josie’s outfit, and random notions. See what happens when they have big sales! I can’t control myself! Not to mention they have 50% off coupons this weekend! Poor Rusty! lol He’s going to be so bored while I’m acting a damn fool and spending more money than I need to. But again, what’s a girl to do? Pictures 0f my great buys this Sunday!
