and I did 5 miles yesterday

good recc about my sewing

running. again

Boring but at least I am doing it. Tomorrow and Wednesday I don't have to work out so I plan on sewing.

lots of dog stuff, no sewing but I did ride

back at it

Yesterday I did not do anything I was supposed to do.  But today I ran 5 miles. 

Ran 3 miles and worked on pocket

sewing started

I cannot locate the instructions so I found a pair I sewed before and will use those as a guide.  I have 3 pairs!  I blue denim, 1 cammo regular length and 1 cammo capri.  I had gained weight though and had not worn them for years. 

I started with the pockets flaps. Easy start.  I could not get those wrong. I hope.

sewing report

I finished cutting the pants and cleaned my sewing room. Or as clean as it can be now.  I still have some work for clients I have to do before I can totally do the pants. I will try to get that job done this week.  It involves a fur coat and a man's jacket. 

Here is the pants cut and into a bag so I don't lose pieces

Here is the bag I made Jeannine for christmas. I liked it so much I made an extra set for myself I still need to put a snap on

Ride today

In the pouring rain. I wanted to try the ride across 520.  It was cool. Not a very long ride but since I ran 5 miles yesterday and am doing spin class tomorrow, I am ok with it.

my favorite husky can throw it down. Look out Cougars

another five miles

still on track

1 hour in the gym at fitness/torture class and cutting on pants.

progress on pants and dog harmony

I started the cutting process for the new jeans.  My sewing room is a mess from dog management. But we are progressing. Please note this moment of harmony. 

Please note Mookie has stolen Ranger's mini but at least they are calm. 

Lots to report

I ran 3 miles after work.

Then I finished the top.  I still can't believe how off the pattern was.  But I do like how it came out.  It will be even better once I make it with a fixed pattern.

fix to top is working

I don't see how the top could have been about 8" to narrow but the rest is ok. Agg. I will make it again but work on the pattern first. I made a panel out of the main fabric and sewed lace on it. Then I serged the edges, finished the top and sewed it in. The bottom fits exactly to the top! But if I added 8" to the top that means the pattern is wrong. Anyway, it works. I will finish it tomorrow night. Then start cutting the new jeans.
