I am still here

by @ Tuesday, February 5th, 2008. Filed under Classes, Dresses, From the desk of Spinsta, Handbags, Pants, Refashioned

I haven’t been blogging but I have been sewing.  The black dress-a-thon is over. I finished the 2 dresses and matching handbags.  I made 2 more pairs of jeans (black and purple).  I tackled the recycled sweater project, armwarmers and hats for all.  I made a velcro mount for the U-lock on my bicycle. There were probably some t-shirt refashions in there as well. All of this occurred before the new year.

This year’s projects include 2 new pairs of jeans (blue). I am supposed to help a friend make a pirate costume.  I think I am teaching a class in March.

Why haven’t I updated?  Laziness and a new project.  I am rebuilding a bicycle.
