Eat Paleo, Wear Red, and Sew a Little

Here's a picture of a typical type of dinner we eat on the paleo diet.  This was from one night earlier this week.  It was basically a roast and a catch-all of vegetables that had been cooked in the crock pot:

Where I work, many people choose to wear red on Fridays, in support of our troops.  It's a habit that would be hard for me to break.  Here's the outfit I wore today -- M5893 with a thrifted shirt worn as a jacket:

Last, but not least, I sewed the lower skirt pieces to the middle skirt pieces.  I pressed each seam flat, first on one side ...

... and then I pressed the other side ...

... then I pressed each seam up:

I also trimmed each seam by about half:

The next step will be to topstitch each seam from the right side, but I will save that for a later day.

Serious Slacker Sews Again!

I have not been doing much sewing this summer, but I did manage to have my own sew-a-thon.  I took a day off work to make two dresses to wear at my parents' 60th wedding anniversary in July.  Each picture below will take you to a picasa photo album.  The matching pictures in my review column (to the right, scroll down) will take you the the reviews for these dresses.

Enjoy!
M 5893
