That damn elastic thread everyone raves about seemed like the best bet for actually coming out with a wearable top in the end. I've tried it before, but there are so many conflicting explainations on how to use it--wind it loose, wind it tight, wind it not too loose and not too tight (that one is particularly helpful, thank you), pull it to gather, don't pull it, iron it, steam it. Whatever. I already screwed up the shirt once, Canada Goose, so I didn't have much to lose by screwing it up again.

But hey! it's not so bad. I have no idea how I wound the bobbin (not too loose and not too tight--sorry) but it worked well enough. Definintly of the homemade varitey. She likes it, but elastic thread is not all that pleasant against the skin--anyone have any ideas for lining shirring? Or have any horror stories about elastic thread?

I'm here. I haven't fallen off the earth, I've just been sucked into summer with three little kids and all it's sweaty, whiny, wet and happy craziness. I keep waiting for things to slow down a little so I can get some projects crossed off the list,canada goose chilliwack, but then yesterday I realized the crazy is not going to let up until summer's done.

So I'm going to try to take that minute here and there my kids give me and to get something accomplished. Like their room. It's still far from done and it's starting to wear on me. The overhead projector came out yesterday and I started to draw a map of our neighborhood on the big board. Nothing like a big junior high flash back in the middle of the day. If you are too young to remember the drone of the fan and the slightly burny smell of the overhead projector well then you are just too young aren't you canada goose jacket.
