more fabric

So my sister wanted to get some fabric to cover a pillow. Too bad everything at the fabric store was 50% off! So needless to say, even she left with a lot more than she planned on getting. And I must be really dumb, because I was thinking that I'd just go along, maybe get a fat quarter or something. Now I have everything to make a really nice vest. Not planned, but okay...a vest is good teacher clothing, right?
Plus I did get the fat quarter, of course, to make some stuff for one of my good friends in Chicago. Can't remember if I gave her this site or not, so I won't say what it is or post any pictures until she has it.
Still need to get going on the table runner for my mom. I'm pretty excited actually, because the small size will be perfect to try out some more decorative quilting. I managed to get some really nice sulky thread for it too - I said I'd have it done by the 15th. A few more band pants to go though....

moved in

Been at the house at school for a few days now. Still a little cluttered with boxes and stuff, but hopefully that will get better soon. Just spent who knows how many hours hemming the marching band's pants. Yuck...I couldn't believe some of the stuff that I found in and on those pants. Or to put it this way, I only believed it because it was in my lap.
I may be getting more pants, but I'm happily thinking of my other projects. I really hope that I get some time on them even though this semester is probably going to be crazy. Taking a break from the sewing machine for now... it's probably as tired of those pants as I am :-).
