robinsnest | T-minus 5 sewing days

oh good lordy in heaven this is getting ugly.

Okay I had a sewing date yesterday with

mandie_rw and my upstairs neighbor Victoria. I got the waistbands put on Rob's pants and the eyelets sewn in the CB to allow for the lacing. (it's currently laced with orange Ribbon,

blackcat452 said that marks him as mine!) Extra bonus Amanda forgot her dress and only brought fabric scraps and wanted something to do so she sewed trim down the CF of my dress! Score I'm not as trimless as I was last year! I figured there was no way anything more was happening to that gown this year. Woohoo!

This morning Rob's phone beeped for no reason (okay no reason that's acceptable) at 6am and I could NOT fall back asleep. So at 6:30 I got up and started working on his stupid pants again. I REALLY want them finished by the end of today. What's left is: Sewing hooks and eyes to close the waistband (there isn't enough overlap for a button because well...oops), buttons for the fall front, buttons on the side slits. I'm not sure if those will be functional or just decorative. Hooks and eyes to close the knee band. That's it.

I'm going with Rob to work this morning because his car doesn't work and as we're sharing he's going to bring me to his work in Jenkintown and then

madamekat is kindly picking me up there for the days secret exploits. I'm not sure if I'll get home in time to get much done tonight, but my goal for the weekend was pants done and coat cut out...so fingers crossed I can at least get the fashion fabric for the coat cut out tonight.
