Today, I'm working on finishing the blouse for Becca I started yesterday. it's all finished, except for the hemming. I've always disliked hemming by hand, although it really has no difference than stitching applique down by hand. But today, I'm trying to change my attitude to hand hemming, and look at it as the same as any other slow hand stitching, a time to sit back and enjoy the process. And, I've found that it's working. It's giving me the time to think about the project, and to enjoy thinking about the person it is intended for, my lovely daughter. After this is done, we'll start working on the skirt we bought fabric for.
Because of the clothing manufacture, quilting has taken a bit of a back seat, but I still had a bit of stash usage for the bowties I made this week.
Used this week: .6 yards
Used this year: 27.3 yards
Added this week: .25 yards
Added this year: 14.5 yards
Balance: 12.8 more yards out than in.

Hope the blouse is coming along well. I've never made clothing but that does look like a binding edge!
