 This time around no need to cook. Husband found time to bake special lasagna and that's what we're having for supper. Thank goodness at least I can concentrate on something worthwhile aside from watching a tree grow up. Ha ha! you know that's an awful amount of time how a tree grows.

So after my heartful extra ordinary kind of dinner without being stress from the normal thinking of what kind of recipe or menu this time. Because I don't like the members of my family acting up and say, "is that again?" You know having the same kind boring meal as usual. As if my house is a restaurant, but it's not. Wouldn't it be nice if I have a restaurant?

Know what my concentration is not on cooking so this time it's far from the doldrums. Mind 'ya this time I am using "patterns." I don't really use any paper  pattern for sewing my dress, skirt or shorts. I use my clothes: dress, shorts, skirts or blouse as a pattern and then measure the seams, put extra allowance if there's a need, only when I gained so much weight that my measurement takes extra cms. or inches allowed allowance and may cause extra length and width of fabric added to the normal measurement.

My new project is different this time. It's for the upholstery cover  at the cabin's boat 's bed. The foam mattress inside the cabin needs new cover. It was Lorne who had chosen the color. I prefer a bright geometric design for the cover but that's okay. You know a male's color taste and preference so I didn't fight with the choice. If its my boat then I'll be the one to choose instead of  him. Joined together by this kind of task, lay the patterns on the floor on top of the 10 meter gray color fabric then pinned the edges attaching the paper pattern to the fabric. This procedure allows you to cut the fabric smoothly and properly according to the pattern's size (measurement).  




 After all the fabric been cut to its proper size and allocated seam and edges with all the allowance needed to start then it's time to sit down and start sewing, ready with the sewing machine, needle, pins, and thread. Choosing the right strong thread known for its durability strong enough for the kind of fabric that is to be sewn.

You wont believe how fast and furious I am when it comes to sewing so I'd better not give you the "time limit." I myself couldn't believe it. Ha ha ha! It's almost like magic.

Even my husband was amazed, he thought I'll finish this "project" within a week.
So this is it! It's done. My husband is happy to see the finished work. He was thankful and all smile grinning from ear to ear.

Later he told me I saved him $1,000 for the service fee if another person doing that kind of work. SEWING.

Sewing is a decent work. If you're a dressmaker, tailor or it's just your Mother sewing a nice decent clothes for you take time to be thankful, be full of gratitude because sewing is not an easy task.
