WOYWW....

I'm struggling to see the computer let alone type this morning :-( For those that didn't see my post yesterday then you might be wondering why? I have a sore eye :-( It's a little better this morning but I have just put my ointment in it and it's stinging like hell at the mo.

Fingers crossed it improves very soon cos I need to clear some of my sewing today. As you can see my 'to do' rail is full!

I've finished the wedding dress alterations [for those that left comments on my blog last week....I don't make the dresses I just alter them to make them fit properly]. I'm hoping today is rather quieter than last Wednesday because I had about a dozen customers last Wednesday and one of those was yet another Wedding dress that the Bride couldn't get in. We did a fitting and decided the only way I could alter it was to put a panel in it. When I asked when she needed it for she said Saturday! Yes, I had just 2 days in which to get it done.....Actually this meant I had to get it done for another fitting on Thursday cos if it still needed tweaking I would have to redo it by Friday :-) Needless to say it was all done and fitted to perfection by lunchtime on Thursday :-).....it's what I do.
Waking as I did yesterday morning with an eye that was painful, streaming and only gave me blurred vision I really struggled to do anything. My 'to do' rail was heaving plus I still had a commissioned waistcoat to design and make. Wondering how I would ever get any of it done I was sent an angel to help me :-) Twiglet had come down to have her hair cut at a local hairdressers and she popped in offering help/ Phew what a huge relief. We work so well together.
I was able to instruct her as to the very special requirements the waistcoat needed [some of you may remember I made a very special waistcoat for an elderly gent once before...this one is for the same man but is a very different job to the last one]. We planned, made patterns and then worked together to pin, sew and press. I just have a little more to do this morning and it will be finished :-) [if only my eye will stop stinging!]




I had a bridesmaids dress fitting yesterday morning so thought I'd add a pic of that for you.....

....... and this is the stage my latest picture has got to....I've been too busy with work in the day to do more and in the evenings I've been crocheting my African flower....up to 24 now so about half way to my baby blanket :-)
Hope you all have a great day. Please pop over to Julia's blog and join in the WOYWW fun.
