I'm still here . . .

Yes, I'm still here, and I'm still sewing; just haven't been doing much posting.

First we did a complete rip out of all carpet through out the house.  That happened around Thanksgiving:

The family room (in the process):

 The finished family room with furniture back:

 Then finally the most important room, the SEWING ROOM:
Before:

The Sewing Room After:

 Check out the neat Button Rug I found at IKEA!!!!

I've been doing a lot of sewing also, I'll post one of the outfits on tomorrow. In addition to sewing, I've also been collecting sewing patterns, fabrics, etc.  (I know I don't need them; but as my sewing buddies say the fabric is great for insulating the internal walls of the house!).

These are the patterns I got at the last JoAnn's sale:

Vogue 1445

Vogue 1446

Vogue 1451

And finally a pant pattern with princess seams.  I'm taking Sandra Betzina's craftsy class:  Pants Fitting Techniques.  I like this pattern better than the Vogue one that is used for the cass.

 

 Well, off I go to my sewing room I go. . . .
