As part of my commitment to improve my sewing skills and spend more of my time on my favourite activity - sewing - I have started to track the hours spent. In the last week I have only spent two and a half hours in front of my sewing machine. This is what I have done: My daughter is a cheerleader and needed her uniform skirt taken in.

The skirt is in thick 100% polyester - yuck. The trim at the bottom is a thick metallic border. Many of the girls are superslim and find that they need their skirts taken in as they lack the hips to fill the skirt. Remember those days? Dry cleaners and other professional alteration businesses charge a small fortune for this work. After my daughter had her skirt taken in, a few of her team mates wanted theirs taken in too. So all my sewing this last week has been alterations. I will still have to do a few more next week. I don't know about you, but I think doing alterations and repairs are really boring to do so although I have a few more skirts to do this week, I am going to finish two projects. I have a turtleneck and a skirt that are next in line. I know it is Thanksgiving but I'm going to spend more time at my sewing machine than at the dining room table. Watch this space!
