The primary job of yesterday was to start to move all fabric out of my room and into the spare room. The sub-job of that job was to breakdown the fabric into two main groups...'fabrics I'd like to use first' and 'everything else'. The first group gets to go onto open shelving, the second group into paper bags.
I'm reading/skimming the book "It's all too much" and the take home message is that if you have too much stuff in your space then you probably aren't using your space for what you want to use it for. This is definitely true for me and many sewing projects just don't get off the ground because I either forget what I wanted to do, or I can't find all the parts in a timely manner.
So today, with the beginnings of a nice sewing system coming together, I sewed two shirts on the serger. The first is in the photo and is sleeveless. This is the fabric that eagle-eyed thrift shopper Ms. Romero saw at Thrift Town that day...Thanks Kaija-Leena! The stripes really are that bright... The second one is a more muted blue and I put some sleeves on it. I messed up many times (sewing plus beer equals mistakes!), so I'll try it on tomorrow just in case there is heartbreak waiting in the wings...

It looks great with that sweater! And the pink probably matches your bloodshot eyes...
