Sewing...no photos yet...

I made 2 Loes Hinse perfect t's last week and a pair of brown wool pants from the July 2009 Burda. but no photos yet. It all started when I saw an orange sweater in a store window one morning during my exercise walk at the mall. Eventually, I went back and bought the sweater and made some slacks and a t shirt to wear with them. I'll take photos soon.


We are in a resort town in the Rockies and when we were walking home from a delicious meal, we noticed both people and elk on the local golf course. So, we hurried back to the hotel, got the car, the dog, and DH's camera equiptment and headed off after the elk. DH got some fabulous photos of the bull elk and his magnificent set of antlers--even a shot or two of the bull bugling to keep his cows in line. Very interesting.

I love to see and learn new things! I'm learning my new little travel sewing machine too. I made buttonholes this afternoon and was very pleasantly surprised with the outcome. It is a lightweight Janome and I have never owned this brand. Not that different from my others, just a few things to learn! I want to use it to take to classes or when we travel, so I need to be adept at its operation so I can enjoy the process and not worry about how the machine works. DH is attending a photo seminar here and will be occupied during the day. I will do a little sewing and a little sight seeing while he is busy. Good combination!

Photos will be along soon.
