Loaded -

 

 

Today I loaded the backing - 

 

For my Upstairs/Downstairs - Pastel Brights - 

 

And cut the batting - 

 

 

I decided to use a LIGHT YELLOW cone thread - 

 

Since the MAIN diagonal on this one is YELLOW - 

 

And I think it will blend in pretty well - 

 

Tomorrow I'll baste the batting and top down - 

 

Wind a few bobbins - 

 

Test and set the bobbin case tension - 

 

Then play with the top tension to get it as "perfect" as I can - 

 

Because I didn't want to do all of that today - 

And because I haven't actually SEWN anything in a while - 

I made another set of strata - 

For my Upstairs/Downstairs - Marigold -

 

I put the rest of the sets - 

 

In a basket next to the sewing machine - 

 

All ready to go - 

 

I'll use these as "tweens" - 

 

The odd-ball stuff that is pretty mindless - 

 

That I can sew beTWEEN other things -

 

When I just want to SEW something -

 

And not have to think about it much - ;))

 

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
