Time to mark – I prefer the floor

Although I have a lovely table to do all my cutting, marking, etc., I still prefer using the floor. My daughter tells me, it’s because I don’t have far to go. I’m 5′. Yes, she’s got jokes!

Oh, I’m wearing my favorite cold sweatshirt. It’s seen several washings, and has bleach spots in a few places, but I still wear it around the house.

My daughter also told me I have too much hair. She said, “Mom, I rarely get your face when I’m trying to take a picture!”  My reply, “I’m not the subject the material is the focal point!”

She took this several hours ago. In the picture, you’ll see the beginning of a petticoat that I’m creating for her. I was adding additional marks (with my chalk pencil) for embroidery placement. Since that time, the embroidery was added (with much success I might add) and I’ve also hand basted one layer of tulle ruffle to the petticoat.

I still have about 30 more yards of tulle to do.
