Happy Thursday!
So you’re probably wondering how I faired with my 4 day weekend. First I must say, I needed an extended work break. I mean I really needed it. See I work a lot. I usually start my work day at 7am. 12 to 13 hour days are common. I must admit that I am working less now than I used to work this time last year but still I work a lot.
My extended weekend entailed very little rest but I a lot of time with my family. Much needed time to catch up. My kids were thrilled. I felt like I was attacked by my mini mes. We colored watches movies read Christmas stories, danced, and cooked together. On the last day of my extended weekend I realized I was exhausted. By then I knew I couldn’t do anything about it. Nor would I change anything about how I spent my days off.
I was able to make one thing. My poor sewing wish list did not have a chance against my energetic children.
So I made Simplicity 8601 view A. When this partner was released I knew I had to make it. I don’t know why it took me so long to make it. I found this fabric at Walmart. This fabric was easy to work it.
Modifications: I cut the wrong sleeve size. The sleeve was too big for the armhole. So I gathered the shoulder area.
I wore this blouse to work. A few hours into the work day, I realized I forgot the hem the bottom of the blouse. No problem. I tucked my blouse into my pants and rocked it.
I will definitely make this pattern again.
What did you do Thanksgiving weekend? Did you get any sewing done?
