The Calvary Has Arrived!

My help has arrived! Interfacing from SewExciting/Fashions Sewing Supply's 4th of July sale.
I can't believe how quickly it made it to me, but I'm glad it did because I (a) need it and (b) need it. I stocked up too: Pro-Weft fusible in black and white, Pro-Sheer Elegance fusible in black and white and Pro-Woven fusible in off-white. I've been using interfacing that I got from either Clotilde or Nancy's Notions (can't remember which) and had run out of my woven fusible interfacing. I heard so much about this interfacing that I had to try it out. I love the feel of the Pro-Woven and Pro-Weft fusibles and know that I'm going to love them already. This pro-weft feels so much softer than Armo Weft and I've been out of my woven fusible for months. I've just been making do with a trico fusible interfacing that I do love to use and my knit interfacing that rarely gets used. My mom sent me some Pellon interfacing, but I really only use Pellon interfacings for craft projects.
Unfortunately, sewing like a mad woman has come to an end. DH is back home tomorrow and I have to go back to my former schedule of a seam here and a seam there. I did start on Amy Butler's Mini Dress, Tunic and Tops and hit a huge snag -- a very droopy back. It's fixable though (thank you Patty Palmer) and I'll tell y'all about it after I take the photographs. Hopefully I can get them in tomorrow morning while I'm racing frantically about the house cleaning and pretending that I actually dusted weekly (yeah right!) and mopped the floor each night before I went to bed (Ha!). Somehow I think the evidence will point to the fact that I spent all my time in my sewing room and did the rest at the last minute, just like I did back in high school! This, of course, is my modus operundi, always has been, always will be (well, for a while it was cross-stitching). I consider myself to be the polar opposite of Martha Stewart and/or June Cleaver. I don't like housework. Period.

Until then, I think I'll do some sewing until I get tired. I really want to fuse interfacing to something.

Happy sewing y'all!

It is said that all good things come to an end! Boo on housework. Maybe someday, someone will come up with "Creative Cleaning". Wouldn't that be something?
