Once again, I have fallen short of (self-imposed) expectations:
1. No sewing was done this week in preparation for sewing week. I was hoping to arrive, an accomplished sewist, with a new garment to show for my efforts. Alas it is not so.
2. No further reductions were taken in the stack of sewing projects. All the candidates were able to squeeze into one 21" suitcase and were therefore designated cell-mates for the duration.
3. Despite occasional misgivings that my project choices were primarily of the warm-weather variety and in direct opposition to any malingering thoughts I might harbor to the effect that fall is just around the corner, the suitcase remained resolutely in summer mode. After all it is always summer somewhere in the world.
4. The fall fabric stash aided and abetted the summer projects by defying all attempts at being routed out of their hiding places.
Sewing week will be lots of fun. Lift-off is tomorrow at 6 AM, the airport an hour away, and my dreams and expectations are on full alert.

Yep, it coming up to summer here, so just come and visit! Enhoy.

I’m glad I am not so hard on myself, because every week for 3 months I could say the same. I have one project of two items, simple ones, too, to design and sew. Ha!

Mardel,
Responding to your question on my blog….. I am going to Sandra’s sewing week starting Sept 16th. It looks from your comments here that you are going this week, one week earlier than me. Is that right? Too bad as I would like to meet you. I have followed lots of your sewing projects on Stitcher’s Guild and, back in the day, on Sewzine. Since you are packing you have probably already left and are there in SF right now as I type this. If I am wrong and you are going next week, great.
