Happy Friday! Above are my poor, poor neglected serger (left) and sewing machine (right). Did you know that you can use a regular old sewing machine cover for your serger too? The pear print is what could be considered a vintage Kokka linen\/cotton blend — I made that cover for my very first Singer sewing machine back in 2007 or so. I adore that fabric. The cover on the right was a potential book project (it\u00a0has\u00a0multiple pockets), but it didn’t make the cut.<\/p>\n

Good news: final illustrations for the book are COMPLETE. I still have a couple of extremely minor things to turn in before I can call it a wrap, but the illustration portion was huge (over 300 files!). Now that I’ve become a little familiar with this process, I’ve given myself a few days to relax after the milestone. I’m going to ease back into my beloved routines and ever so slowly ramp up. I can tell I’m doing the right thing because I haven’t gotten sick at all. Both K and M have been under the weather, sadly, but I’ve been hearty enough for both of them to handle care-taking duties.<\/p>\n

So I’m off to revel in this feeling of accomplishment for a bit before channeling my energy into a new phase that I’m excited about. I hope you all have a great weekend, and I’ll see you some time next week!<\/p>\n

What shall I sew first?<\/em>
\nA costume for K, perhaps?<\/em>
\nOr maybe for me…<\/em><\/p>\n
