Is not always cool. But yesterday it was pretty fun. We went to another family's house and learned about the sun. No work on my part. We are going to keep meeting. After space the units are done we will do the "Sugar& Spice" units from Marmee. Cool. Maybe we can do it here.
More later.

The tension mounts
Haha...bad pun. I think I have the tension problem fixed for my machine. The top and bottom threads need to be the same weight when sewing light fabrics. Now I'm back to sewing those skirts. Holly's is almost done. I'm hemming it and putting lace on the bottom. I'll probably start Lottie's this afternoon. Then the shirts. Then finish the pillows. Then start the dress for me. Then hit the mending pile. Nice to have the work, wish I had more time.
While having some down time in the van during PE for the kiddles I worked some more on the hand-sewn apron. The casing is done for the waistband. All it needs now is ribbon or string for the ties and a good hem. I am so proud of that thing. I'd like to learn more about hand-sewing.

Sewing
My new machine isn't working. Lovely. The tension is off. I hope it just needs to be cleaned. There is a lot left on my sewing pile.
