My remodel chaos continues and I have visiting family for the rest of June. I hope to be getting everything organized and back in place by July-sorry you have next week and July to get through. I haven't had the heart to tell the not kid friendly pets yet that the grands are coming in and they will not be back to normal life for a bit longer.

How you could achieve anything in the chaos is beyond me. I have a whole room just for sewing and when it gets too messy I can't function. But the mess is all self- made, not an accommodation to outsiders wishes. How long does this go on?Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05751989453706523363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-7812951510929746742013-06-08T15:54:43.790-04:002013-06-08T15:54:43.790-04:00Sorry to hear about the "purple rain" y...Sorry to hear about the "purple rain" you had but what a fab pair of shorts you made!

Congrats on getting the Bernina 930, they're a real workhorse.<br /><br />Oh, and sorry about the purple corduroy getting rained on. I had to deal with 20 yards of it at once making performance pads for a bell choir. It was kind of tough finding that much purple corduroy all at once.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11334242382280101179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-38238238590689034372013-06-08T14:55:36.090-04:002013-06-08T14:55:36.090-04:00Shorts look SUPER!

I never really thought about it until they talked about it on the Great British Sewing Bee (and inspected Judge Patrick's derriere up close). It's the proper way to do it, they said. This split makes it easier to adjust for swaybacks as well, so it's something I'll do from now on.
