Eight Seams Makes a Finish

Yesterday was a fairly productive day on the domestic front and in the sewing room. Some days are just that way. One housekeeping chore was dispensed with fairly quickly, and then I was able to get into the sewing room. I wanted to sew together the sections for the arm and shirt and then move along to the pant legs. That didn't take long.

From there, it didn't take long to get a good start on the legs. Soon the next section was sewn together.

From there, I told myself I'd go finish up some more housework. On my way out the door, I spied the little OshKosh b'Gosh overalls, and decided to remove the label and pin it in place. 

My neck was bothering me from the sewing I'd done already, and so it was tempting to quit for the day. Still, I thought, the cuffs on the pants are only a few pieces, and so I decided to finish those off.

It was late in the day by then, but the shoes were so tempting. I had to finish those too. This is what I love about quilting...the quilt itself propels one forward.

There is still one seam to sew in that bottom section. Now I have just three pieces in the upper background section to sew, and then just the long seams between the sections: a total of eight seams. Looks like this will be finished by day's end.

Today I'm getting my monthly pedicure, and I'll pick up some bird seed on the way home. Other than that, it's nothing but sewing. I'm looking forward to having this all stitched together.
