Lovely work  :thumb:

I've jumped the gun today and done my sewing this morning as this afternoon I'll be shanty singing between 2 and 4. I've just done some repairs so nothing major to report.
I did use my overlocker though!!!  :P

I was here. I finished off my top by sewing in the sleeves, adding the sleeve cuffs and attaching the bottom band. Have I mentioned how easy it all is with my new overlocker?!!?  :P  :laughing:
After that I patched two pairs of son's jeans. He catches the belt loops on the warehouse door handles as he goes in and out and they also needed the crotch reinforcing. Not my neatest work but they are only workwear jeans.

I was here playing testing out features with my new overlocker.  :D
I also finished the last embroidery block and cut out a knit top. Quite productive really.

I've been practicing with HST to make a cushion cover. I thought to use up some dressmaking scraps from years ago but am not sure I like what I've made. It's only for a cushion in my sewing room so no big deal but even so it won't be my favourite.

My machines are left out all the time. I cover them but not with a fancy fitted cover just a throw over so it's easy to move and put back on. One is the Sewing is Therapy quilt I made last year, one is made up from all the random bookcase blocks I made as a test run before I sewed my bookcase quilt and the other is just covered with fabric embroidered with random sewing sayings. Overlocker doesn't have a cover but I'll have to sort something out if I get a new fancy pants one.   ;)

After making a list of things I want to look at/ buy tomorrow I went to the sea shanty singing group. I can't sing in tune but we have such fun it doesn't matter.
