I am re-visiting an older craft of mine . . . alterations. It has been decades since I have taken a factory garment apart with intentions of making it better, aka: making it functional.
Many moons ago I did a fair amount of alteration work for my friend Sharon when we lived just a section apart in Boon Lake Township. Sharon always went home pleased. Time will tell on my latest acquisition. We barely had put the car away from a trip to the northern lands when Brett was in my basement shopping the fabric stash. I have given him a cart-blanche pass. Many families have shared their loved one’s fabric stashes with me and it makes me happy to encourage another quilter. Brett is not the best on colors that are compatible. He left with three yards today, and I told him I would take some time to put together two additional fabrics with measurements of three yards each. He is busy making t-shirt quilts for children of friends who were in school with his children. I also picked up an embroidery order from Brett as one of the blocks in this project needs a bit of extra sentiment.
If I get too busy and Dennis is sitting at the dining room table with fork and knife in hand, I know a trip to Subway will not allow him to go hungry. I forget about meal times when my sewing studio is humming.
