Ya, it was a bit cool this morning so I wore long pants for my walk. My knees felt like they were smothering. The walking shorts are not done for the season, I’m just picking and choosing on a day by day basis.
A challenge with machine embroidery comes about when companies that you purchase designs from have multiple brands of thread they may favor to use in their creations to obtain the finished product. The design is downloaded and as the embroidery unit begins sewing, a coordinating color is requested. I spent some time this afternoon on the computer printing out color charts from various companies. Nothing like having some prep work before it’s needed.
I have started a shopping list. White cotton socks for myself is “major” on the list. In a time past I bought socks. Hmm, it was a good buy. Yup, they were white and in the shopping basket they went. Ugh! They were a poly/cotton blend. No cotton socks on my tootsies this last season. No matter how you try your very best of the Martha Stewart laundry tips, they are not going to come out white. I admit I may be out on the patio in stocking feet. Who has time to put on shoes every time you turn around. Wearing shoes that are not high tops lets in all sorts of dirt while gardening. Bleach and poly blend fabrics come out yellow. I want my socks coming out of the laundry as white as Dennis’.
Oh for challenges. It sure keeps my days interesting.
