T-Shirt Rescue?

We've all had bleach spots on our favorite tee, right? *&*^$*#   So I ask one of my artistic-crafty nieces what to do. Kristi thought I "might" bleach it some more -- sort of a tie dye.

 This is the result (yes, I forgot to take a picture in progress.) I cut a little stencil. Ended up with more spray than I planned so I twisted and sprayed some more. LOL.....one of a kind for sure.

So it Goes

I'm sewing...and knitting but I don't have very much to show. However - thanks to a girlfriend shopping trip, with Jo Anna, I have  a lovely new sweater. I'm so crazy about it I forced it on the kid, "Oh take it, try it, you might like it."

 I have a feeling it will come and go!

Advice from 1949

“Advice from a Singer Sewing Manual” 1949

(Or why I don't get much sewing done.)

“Prepare yourself mentally for sewing.
Think about what you are going to do.
Never approach sewing with a sigh or lackadaisically.
Good results are difficult when indifference predominates.
Never try to sew with a sink full of dirty dishes or beds unmade.
When there are urgent housekeeping chores, do these first so your mind is free to enjoy your sewing.
When you sew, make yourself as attractive as possible.
Put on a clean dress.
Keep a little bag full of French chalk near your sewing machine to dust your fingers at intervals.
Have your hair in order, powder and lipstick put on.
If you are constantly fearful that a visitor will drop in or your husband will come home, and you will not look neatly put together, you will not enjoy your sewing.”
