shortcuts
Tuesday, June 26, 2007Sometimes in life you just have to take shortcuts. I walked into JoAnn fabrics with a single thing to buy. Elastic thread for Erin's Sunny Day dress tutorial. Well, I did a double take when I saw fabric already shirred.
They didn't have a ton of choices, but this fabric was perfect for my punkin! She wanted the raw frayed edge on the bottom, so the only thing I had to do was sew one side seam, and sew on some straps. Pink rick rack was her choice.
And for some strange reason, I got the same satisfaction from all of the other things that I have made from start to finish! I also did buy the elastic thread, because I will try to do the shirring myself, one day. Now if there were only a shortcut to all the things I have to do today, then I would be all set!
Thank you so much for all the kind words about my summertime tunic! I am going to try very hard to wear it.
