It's Overwhelming

I actually stitched a few seams today!  I can't tell you what pattern it is because I truly don't know.  You see, I was trying to avoid this (with the exception of my laundry that is trying to dry while being crowded by bags of "stuff"):

and this:

and most definitely this:

You could say I'm overwhelmed and you'd be right.  These are most of the boxes of household and leisure goods that belonged to my dad.  We plan to have the first garage/estate sale next weekend and look at this.  I am at the point of wondering if we are going to be able to pull this off.  I really have to get rid of these things and want them to go to good homes.   And yeah, the cash would be nice.  But, like I said, it's only some of the stuff.  The storage is still stuffed with furniture, in addition to household appliances and some more boxes of stuff (big boxes).  My original goal was to have the unit empty by today so I wouldn't have to pay for another month.  So  NOT going to happen.  Hmmph.  Ah well, I have a week to get everything organized and priced.  Thankfully, I've been through all of the boxes.  It's just so overwhelming.  These pictures alone are giving me a headache.
On a more positive note, while doing this, I also washed these:

Yay!!

Oh and get this.  You know how Wally-World decided that no one sewed anymore and, therefore, they decided to remove fabric from their stores?  Well, guess what's back at my neighborhood super Wally-World?  Yep, fabric!  Someone must have told them about those long lines at the cutting table at JoAnn (across the street) full of people who don't sew.  They aren't up at running yet, but are busy stocking Cranston fabrics and Simplicity patterns.  (Dumb asses).

So, getting back to my original story.  I did some sewing today.  Probably as a way to avoid dealing with the mess in my garage (and in my house, and at the storage).  The only things I can tell you at this point in the game is that it's a dress, I found four pieces sitting around, so I looked at them and figured I had a simple dress on my hands (80's or 90's pattern or maybe early 2000, how the heck do I know?).  I have no idea (well, a small idea) of where I can find the pattern or instructions, so I just put it together.  I believe this simple dress should have a drawstring waist (I remember something about that), but I know I didn't cut it out of my fabric.  The dress may also have facings, but I didn't see them laying around, so I just used bias tape to finish the sleeves and neck. I can also tell you that I'm not sure what I saw in this fabric.  Guess it was because I don't need a slip.   Ah well, a few more stitches, some elastic and I'm done. 

Jeeze, the pictures of my garage mess and the thought of putting it all together is giving me an even bigger headache, so I'm outta here.

Happy sewing y'all!

p.s.  I also taped together and then cut apart the Sorbetto pattern.  Now I just have to do my measurements and I can make a tester out of pretty sheets.
