The Imaginative Seamstress

Supposedly we were going to get snow, but its rained all day instead. And I'm just blogging for no reason in particular, other than maybe I felt like it :-) Thought I'd show what I'm up to. I'm usually up to something, but I don't always take the time to post. Not that there's a whole lot going on right now...

But it will be fun, because after re-watching the video tutorials, many of my questions have been answered and I feel like I've got a much better grasp on what I need to do. At least for this next part :-) Here's a snap shot of lessons from my last day or two...  Anyway,     this tutorial and pattern was inspired by a friend. She asked if I could help her with a project. She wouldn't tell me what the project was, but I agreed to it just the same so we could hang out and our kids could visit too. The project turned out to be panties! That didn't weird me out though, I'd made panties before lol! The
