A Weekend of Progress

Friday after writing my entry, I sat down and started working on my practice zipper after a couple of not good tries, IT JUST CLICKED!! Take a look I am quite proud of it.

Of course I didn't have a chance to finish the skirt before the reception. Which was OK I had another outfit I could wear. I preferred to finish this skirt slowly and making it look good, instead of just getting it done fast. So I still need to do the facings and hem. I didn't get anything more done because my weekend was completely busy, but good busy.

I also completed my new sewing desk. I wasn't very happy because it did not have beadboard sides or come with the metal cup handles that it listed that it was suppose to come with. Instead it was just plain sides and white plastic handles. I really liked the look of the "metal" handles and I thought the plastic handles would make the desk look cheap. So after the reception on Saturday I went to the Hardware store and bought a metal looking spray paint for plastic to achieve the look I wanted.

Without further ado... The Desk!

Look what the FedEx man brought me...

I received this yesterday...

Now you're probably wondering whats in this big brown box..... Well I'll show you.
The Desk Open The Desk Closed
IT'S A SEWING DESK!!!
Now my sewing machine will have a permanent home, before I was just using an old table my Mom had. I haven't got time yet to put it together (expect pictures). I ordered the white version from Homevisions.com and here is a direct link.
I chose this desk because 1) it folds down so small and has storage and 2) I like this style over some of the others I have seen.
On to other sewing news... I have not had a chance yet to really work on the zipper. I plan to work on that today. I want to be able to wear this skirt tomorrow night to a reception I am going to. I better go get working...
