This has a very peaceful and relaxing week. I have truly enjoyed myself. I did spend a fair amount of time in the sewing room. I didn't finished anything yet. I spend a lot of time doing nothing.
I worked on testing the new update. I had some problems with the program. I emailed WG. They were great at working on fixing the problem in less than 24 hours. Their customer support is awesome. I like the new styles that they added to the program and plan to try them out before the end of the year.
I made a princess seam v-neck top to check the fit. The neck is a little too wide, the neckline needed to be raised up a inch so it would be suitable for the workplace and I had to reduce the bust ease by one inch. Even with these issues, the top turned out nice. I didn't have the right color of thread for topstitching so I had to make a trip to Joann's. I made a wearable muslin of a pencil skirt and it just needs to be hemmed.
Cutting out fabric is not one of my favorite things so I took advantage of the time off to cut out new garments. So far, I have cut out 5 tops, hopefully a wearable jacket muslin, another pencil skirt and a pair of pants. The best thing is that all of the fabric came from the stash. I did order some knits this morning from an ebay vendor.
DGD has been here since Thursday and she keeps me busy so I haven't got much accomplished since she came. She is a good baby but sleep is not on her agenda. I just put her to sleep and she slept 15 minutes. DH just came home and it's his turn to babysit. He does well until she starts acting up because she is sleepy but fighting going to sleep. It took me two hours to get her settled down last night. I'm going to work on a wearable muslin for a coat that I drafted this morning.
