Sew much to do, Sew little time

Groan, groan, I know. When I run out of bad puns about sewing, perhaps I'll stop posting about sewing. =) Looks like I haven't posted about sewing since February! It seems like I haven't done a lot of sewing in that time either.

It was hard when things were getting packed up, and then there were boxes everywhere in the new house and nowhere to put a sewing machine. But somehow, in the midst of all that, I have done a few things.

An acquaintance wanted this chair:


covered.


A friend wanted a new cover made for this glider and ottoman (this is the new one, the old one was red):


I've also been continuing mending and hemming and altering and etc. This is the craziest thing I've had to repair recently:


And the patch worked out pretty well:


In the beginning, for the sewing room, we had our bed and a thousand boxes. I moved out the boxes and moved in a table.


But then we got to planning and thinking (and I got to complaining about my honey-do list!) and Jeremy built me this!


Much better. Now if we can just get the upstairs finished so we can move the bed out of here...
