Blazing Bobbins, Batman!

I have been a crazed woman today--more than normal, at least.

I have a Trek Training meeting tomorrow afternoon and we have been asked to wear our "pioneer trek outfits" to this training. So I spent my Saturday sewing today. I have made four pair of "bloomers" to wear under the skirts, three aprons, finished two skirts and hemmed another.

I realize that these are not "authentic" or historically correct costume pieces, but I would like to feel like I am playing the part, even if I am still stashing a 6 pack of diet coke in the magic cooler with the food guys. Looking like a pioneer is part of the fun, right?

My poor little machine has gotten a workout today. I am still sewing on the machine I got as a graduation present from my parents twenty-two years ago. No frills, steady as she goes kind of machine. Kind of like me.

I will model my pioneer creations and have The Girl take some photos later so you can see what I have been busily working on today. Look for those in a coming post.
