Poppy fabric spotting!
HAH! I just saw a woman on campus with a shirt on made out of fabric I know I've seen at poppy! teehee! I was tempted to randomly complement her, and point out that I too was wearing poppy fabric, but I refrained from being a *total* freako.

I'm glad my first sewing night was a success, though i wasn't too productive. i just don't enjoy knitting as much in the spring and summer. I need curtain fabric!! so hard to pick out, much harder than clothing fabric i think. maybe i will just look for sheets, those are much cheaper. i really need to go to discount fabrics, hopefully i will get some by the next snb. I will be out of town until May 10th, but I can probably host it May 12th.
I think you should hem the lining and have it stick out a little, that would be very cute.

thanks to Beckie!!
hey all - not the quick-moving blog week, eh? notice I am learning a bit of basic html. very fun.
to report - last night some of us went and had a fabulouso time at Beckie's new digs. It was good fun and productive. I am almost done with my embroidered brown w/blue flowers linen skirt! I did the all-purpose Hong Kong finish on the hem, and am still blindstiching it under. (yep, I did work on it when I got home, but nope, I didn't finish).
Here's a question for everyone - I have a cute pink lining that is currently longer than the skirt. Should I hem it to stick out a bit below the hem of the skirt OR hem it up like a regular (unseen) lining?

awesome! Hi Andrea - I'm excited to think pink. Is this the pink dress that we pinned recently?
my $0.02 about Box springs - I've heard Jeanine wax poetic about the Martha Stewart bed skirt. I found a link to it, and boy is it cute! I think I might have to make one.....once I've finished all my other projects....
here's the picture:
here's a directions: "One easy, low-cost solution is to cover the box spring with a drape of rectangular fabric. A tablecloth, bedsheet, or any interesting cloth will do the job nicely. Even better, it will be a cinch to wash and iron. If you use a sheet, choose one that is the same size as the bed: a single for a single bed, a queen for a queen. For a tablecloth or fabric, determine the correct width by doubling the height of the box spring and adding its width plus 6 inches. Calculate the length by doubling the height of the box spring, then adding its length plus 6 inches. This creates a rectangle of fabric that covers the box spring and hangs down an extra 2 inches all the way around, after you’ve sewn a 1-inch hem."

Yay! I'm finally on. I have a new project I want to do, I want to make a bed ruffle (though not ruffley) for the box spring on my bed, but instead of having the muslin part that goes under the matress, i want to attach it using velcro on the boxspring and maybe just have a pleat at each of the corners. It will be narrow but long, so I wonder how much fabric I should buy, and how I should join the fabric, i guess on the diagnol. Any thoughts?

Ok, a hint also about pictures. There is an awesome website called photobucket.com, where you can put pictures to post to here. I've made a link to it....
oh, and if anyone's all html-inspired/educated, feel free to make changes, because I sure don't know anything...

Hello!!! It's time to discuss stitchin', bitchin', and anything else in between. Think of this as virtual sewing night....
I think I will limit it to non-males at the moment, but that can always change if the demand is there (small possibility).
