makes me appreciate anew the desirable properties of plastic bags even as I try to reduce my use of them.On such a gloomy day full of such ambivalent thoughts, it was a particular happiness to re-read the entries for my blog giveaway and to see the level of environmental awareness and commitment to positive action – thanks to all who entered. Is it ironic that the prize comes packaged in a plastic bag? However that may be, by random draw the Sheep 2 Shoe kit goes to Katie. Congratulations, Katie!
In her comment on the previous post, Jessica expressed the hope the Seedy cardi has two sleeves. It does indeed, here's photographic evidence.
Alas, I'm currently picking out the mattress stitching on the shoulder seam of one of them. I was sailing merrily along (tralala), but a moment's inattention led to this horror.
Can't tell what's wrong? Here's a closer view. When properly executed, mattress stitch makes nearly invisible seams in handsome columns. The scissors tips are pointing to – cue Drama Button – a jog in the column.
It's got to go.
*A somewhat self-serving hope, as Tami and I are going in Nancy's carpool.
