I could just skip blogging June entirely.
Work has been nuts. I am making myself sit at my computer to write this (all I do all day long is sit at a computer. Oy)
I have been sewing. Mending.
This mini backpack has needed a handle forever. Wrapped a length of webbing around upholstery welting for a handle, opened up that back horizontal webbing and poked it in place, and stitched it back up. More sewing with plyers while watching Svengoolie.
Still needs a tidy up. Also one of the long straps is missing an end and about ten inches of strap.
Yoinks.
I had to take the presser foot off to get it under the needle.
Finishing the Felix lobster dress I started last summer; because I CAN.
I changed the neck facing
(made a coordinating print on Spoonflower and hated it after it was all sewn on)
and auditioning sleeves. And yes, I recut the skirt to stop it from poofing out so much.
I dunno. Going to safety pin it and try it on.
and a mask for seeing this
through July 3rd

The Cuties don't fit because cake.
I need to add some fabric in the side seams.
Mmmmmmm poppin'
I may have to lose the sleeves to do this. I have more of these dresses, but some might be made of fabric I can't photograph and put on the blog, ya know.

| There was cake. And work and family anxiety. And cake. |
And I have about ten blogs about projects that aren't quite ready to go.
More will be said about some of these things, but I just can't sit here anymore and type right now.
