Friday Night Sew In- January

My Friday Night actually started in the afternoon- I wasn't feeling well so I decided I should get some things done before I took a nap!  Good thing I did because before the day was over I would have medicine for both acute bronchitis and the flu!  I must have a really mild case of the flu because I feel pretty symptom-less-- or maybe Tamiflu is the best thing ever--


I am using the  Children's Corner pattern, Baby Frannie and an applique kit from Ellen McCarn via 1995.  ( what can I say- I bought it when Kendle was 15 knowing we would have a girl to sew for someday!)

So far, I have cut the body fabric out and completed the machine applique-- haven't machine appliqued in about 10 years or more but it came back-- it's not perfect  but it's certainly acceptable.

My husband gave me this handy dandy little light from Nancy's Notions for Christmas-- It sticks anywhere you want and it is a livesaver for my eyes that need new glasses!

My embroidery box of threads was very useful- the hardest part here was having too many choices!

I finished up the day with the front applique done- next I need to add green rick rack as trim and construct the dress.  I need to stash dive and find my white imperial batiste for lining and make the cording for the piping.  I hope to feel good enough to complete it this weekend.
