It's been too long since I've set some time aside for sewing so it was really good to pull up a chair and dig in to a project from Sew What! SKIRTS during this long holiday weekend. I found an adorable dancing skeleton fabric at Sarah's Fabrics and glammed it up with brown & white polka dots and brown & pink velvet/lace trim. The book walks you through designing a pattern to your own measurements and I chose the fitted A-line for my first go around. It fits great and now I'm on the lookout for more funky, fun, one-of-a kind fabrics.
We finally got our bikes out for the riding season and headed up to Marquette, Kansas for the rally and home of the Kansas Motorcycle Museum. The two day rally stretched for about 3 blocks with leather vendors, dyno runs and my favorite, roasted corn. It was a windy day but it sure was good to get back on the slab with the wind in my face.
I quickly snapped this picture in the morning before all the baby finches flew the coup. They left behind quite a mess but watching mother care and feed them from my kitchen window has been very entertaining.
