Sew Mama Sew’s Handmade Holiday starts our Saturday off with Day 10 – Ties and Belts! Head on over there and get sewing! Hmmm…being that I will have some nice button-down collared shirts in my upcoming wholesale boys’ clothing line, now I’m wondering if perhaps I should also add a few neckties…
Belts are a whole ‘nother subject…when someone says, “belt,” I immediately think of the threat of a Cat o’ Nine Tail. Never was I the recipient of such a beating (nor did we own one). However, as a child, my parents’ threats kept me in line (well, most of the time).

Back to the Sewing Room
Today I’m going to skip the idea of making any belts or ties as I have other requests from my unrelenting darling son…another Jedi cape–of course with hood and sleeves! Oh, and I thought the Star Wars’ figurines were 5 inches…but no…they’re only 3 3/4 inches…ugh, ugh, ugh!!! After that I plan to finish a waistband on a skirt and perhaps revisit the dreaded silk baby jacket. And tonight I REALLY need to tidy up my sewing room–or else Clean Sweep will be making a visit!
Happy Sewing!
