On Thursday, I did the interfacings at work. A huge order came in which meant taking the display apart and redoing it. By 9:00 p.m. it was done and labelled. I certainly got to see how many different types and weights of interfacing there is. Woven, non-woven, knit, fusible and sew-in. Then there is a wide variety of weights; very lightweight to craft and then on to fusible fleece. Mind boggling for a newbie, I would think.I didn't work yesterday and was happy to be at home. I was exhausted from a bad night's sleep. The Spousal Unit was having sore joints again. He slept on and off during the day but I made him eat better than he has been. We had a talk about his health. And, if he doesn't improve, we will have another talk.
Sewing
I spent some time trying to do the pockets on the Spousal Unit's shirt. The first pocket was off by a mile. I worked on the next pocket and was off by 5/8". The third pocket was perfect.
I have never been so long at matching plaids as I was yesterday. Tiredness does it to you. I did sew the pocket on just before dinner.
I will use the old pockets for the underside of the pocket flaps. The front side will be on the bias.
Today
I work an 8 hour shift so I will not be doing anything when at home.Until tomorrow.....................
Perfect matching on the pockets!
