I didn’t get too much done the past few weeks (last weeks rompers were done previously), as I have been doing a few photoshoots. That usually takes at least one day of my weekend with the shooting and editing and burning CD’s. I had a wedding and a shoot for 3-year old twin boys. I have another wedding in a few weeks, 6 month baby pictures, and a dog photoshoot coming up. Quite the mix!
I was pretty nervous about the wedding, but I’m very happy with how they turned out. I must say it was a fantastic location. I still have to get through all the pictures yet, but I have made a good dent in them. I don’t edit all of them…just the ones I think are the “stellar” images that may get enlarged or printed in a book. The majority of the reception shots don’t get edited, as they are pretty much exposed right and are just moments capturing their guests having fun. I spend more time on the ceremony and posed shots afterwards. I shot with both my cameras and that was much easier than having one and changing lenses. I just need to time synchronize them for next time, as the photos aren’t in chronological order now. *sigh* A learning experience with that one.

I sewed this tonight and just got done *yawn*. I don’t have much time to get things done this week, and I had a deadline. This is an apron that I designed, and is a gift for a friend. Some of my favorite fabrics, of course! It was a bit more time consuming than some of my others in how I did the top. A learning experience. I didn’t have to rip out any seams but I had to do a bit of fiddly work on it. It’s pretty though!

I did sew this weekend, but I have nothing to show you yet from that. I finally started making up these chair pockets for Kai’s classroom. I am making them with an almost black denim that my serger apparently hates. I think the problem is that I need new cutting blades, since it is not cutting the fabric. I ended up just serging along the edge I cut, without having the serger cut a clean edge. They won’t be too hard to replace, but I just need to get to the sewing machine store.
After I cut up all the fabric I had bought, I was short a piece on about 10 of them. Back to the fabric store for me! Hopefully they have the same denim there so they will match. I got a good 3 hours of work in on them on Sunday and it was very much factory sewing. Now I am certain I would not enjoy factory sewing. 😉
I also sewed up a few things for me, but I don’t have any pictures of them yet. I really need to model them to show how they look on, so hopefully I can get that done by next week.
Here is my future projects for Kailan. His summer wardrobe will consist of these fabric is some way, shape or form. I got lots of stuff I need to get done…

Speaking of boy clothes, did you see Made’s celebration of the boy. There are some great ideas for sewing boy clothes in that series. Boys are hard to find inspirational clothes for sewing. Not much out there, but still some good ideas can be found!
So I looked at the twin boys shoot and loved the last picture.
Thanks for the link to the new boy blog, I really need one. There are SO MANY CUTE girl things, not many boy things
I was completetly addicted to Made’s Celebration of the Boy. SO, SO many cute ideas. You are crazy. (in a good way) You say you didn’t sew much and then you list a gazillion things that you have done this week. LOL. That apron is adorable!!!
I’m so laughing at you. Your “not so much” is always like a month’s worth of work for everyone else! LOVE the apron! I”m heading over to look at all your photoshoots – I’m sure they rock. And a dog photoshoot? 🙂 Can’t wait to see that one!
way to many learning experiences this weekend….LOL
Only YOU could say “didn’t get much done this week” and then list all that stuff. Are you sure you’re human, Stacy? And there’s only one of you?? That apron is awesome!
I love the fabric for the apron, that has to be the most stylish apron I have ever seen. Can’t wait to see the stuff you make for Kailan.
