I am not sure how, but I have the whole house to myself today. We even have company this weekend and I am by myself. It doesn't hurt that I am getting sick and no one wants to be around me. There are a bunch of projects that I want to start or finish this weekend.
First up, make something for Week 4 of the Craft Marathon. The theme: tangerine orange. Lucky for me I had this tangerine orange knit in my stash that I have been wanting to hack into. As you can see, I made this tank top. I used another shirt to roughly cut out the main pieces (like this shirt), and then kept cutting here and there until it looked decent. The tank top turned out a little too tight and the edges roll, but it was a good experience learning how to sew or how not to sew jersey knit. Maybe I can use this shirt for gardening...Oh wait...I don't garden. Weeding the flowerbeds was punishment when I was a kid...therefore I don't really appreciate yardwork or gardening. I don't know how I will wear this shirt...I suppose it could be a sewing by myself shirt.
What are you doing this weekend?

Cute tank :). I hope you feel better. I have had one of those sinus headaches that doesn't allow me to do much so I haven't really done much this weekend :(. Kaylie's home for the weekend though :)
ReplyDeleteI really like this tank top! The trick to wearing fitted stuff is "spanx". Yep, I said it.
DeleteThanks Mona. I hope you are feeling better too. My body feels fine, but my head is still a little foggy.
Delete@amanda.grace - Ha Ha. Do spanx make you sweat like crazy?
Deleteyep! :D it's worth it though when you see rolls smoothed out. :D
