The mother of a colleague taught Home Ec & Sewing in a public school in Pennsylvania for years. And she has a ton of fabric. My colleague is trying to get her to start cleaning out her basement, so she brought me a bag.
This 100% polyester is something I'd never buy. But since it's pretty & feels silky, I thought it would make a good nightgown...and I can always use more nightgowns. Years ago I bought a nightgown which I really liked, but it finally wore out. Since then I've made 3 which are essentially copies of it. This is one of them. It's a quick project & I like how slick & silky the fabric feels.
And this morning I finished another smocked pillow! Again, some fabric I got free (on www.freecycle.org); it's a light denim and there wasn't much (less than 1/2 yard), so a pillow seemed like an obvious project. As with nightgowns, I can always use another cushion cover & I enjoy all the different textures created by the smocking around the house.
I have only been using smocking on household items, but here's an amazing example of smocking on a dress, from a sister-blogger, from a 1960s pattern.
Loan Opportunity Offered By Mr, Benjamin That Save My Family From Financial Bondage {lfdsloans@lemeridianfds.com / lfdsloans@outlook.com}
ReplyDeleteHello Everyone, I am Putri Adiratnaa single mom from Jakarta, I would like to share this great testimony on how I got a loan from Mr, Benjamin, when we were driven out of our home when I couldn't pay my bills anymore, After being scammed by various companies online and denied a loan from my bank and some other credit union I visited. My children were taken by the foster care, I was all alone in the street. The day i shamefully walked into an old school mate who introduced me to Daisy Maureen. At first I told her that I am not ready to take any risk of requesting a loan online anymore, but she assured me that I will receive my loan from them. On a second thought, due to my homelessness I had to take a trial and applied for the loan, luckily for me I received a loan of $80,000.00 from Mr, Benjamin. I'm happy I took the risk and applied for the loan. My kids have been given back to me and now I own a home and a business of my own. All thanks and gratitude goes to Le_Meridian Funding Service and for the help of Mr, Benjamin for giving me a meaning to life when i had lost all hope.
