a snip here, a snip there

axel spent yesterday running around with charlie and last night b had to work, so by the time i picked up the pup and got him home, he was worn out and the house was quiet. i set his bed at the end of the hallway where he could see me, and managed almost an hour of work before he got too fussy for me to continue.

progress

project 1.5 completed: http://www.flickr.com/photos/miss_shigatsu/sets/72157622830697931/

finally finished that white blouse last night. when i first put on the piece where the buttons and holes go, i neglected the interfacing, because i am lazy. but when i went to put the button hole in, the fabric wouldn't hold still, and i realized it really needed that extra stability. i considered skipping the buttons altogether and just leaving it open but decided that just wouldn't work either, so i broke down and pulled apart the front of the shirt, put in the interfacing, and stitched it all back up. tada, now i have buttons and holes. even ran some bias tape around the arm holes for stability there.
