Idiot!

When I was at JoAnn's this morning buying ribbon I stopped by the notions wall and said "do I need hooks and eyes?...no no I don't I have tons"...well apparently I HAD tons. I inherited a stack of cards of them from my great-grandmother's sewing kit and I've just been working my way through them for years. I don't think I've ever actually bought any...well today I appear to have finished them off. 15 min after JoAnn's closed for the night. ARGH. I'm SO CLOSE to being done!! It's kind of frustrating to not just finish

What's left:
Sew down the neck facing
hem sleeves
hem skirt
sew skirt to bodice
add linen to sleeves
add lace to sleeves and neck.
pick fabric for sash and make said sash
oh yeah hooks and eyes so it closes!
sew ribbon around neckline

I did something similar with my 1905 skirt. I knew I had black, white, and silver hooks and eyes, so I didn't buy any. But the skirt is black, so of course I wanted to use black. Did I have the black hooks and eyes I wanted to use? No. In the size I wanted, I had 6 hooks and 6 BARS. I wanted eyes. DRAT! I ended using a smaller set of hooks and eyes and it's fine, but I wished I'd just bought more.

two words: Safety pins. There, done! Everything I have is finished that way.

I have a HUGE collection of random sewing bits just because of how much I HATE it when that happens!!!!
