Support Stem Cell Research
In an instant lives are changed forever, with Stem Cell Research we can turn back time. It's too late for us, but there are millions of others that need this. Do your own research, make up your own mind, don't depend on what others say, and imagine your life in a wheelchair full of pain with no hope of ever dancing again.
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

I've gone off the deepend.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I've fallen right of the edge and into the sludge at the bottom of the pit. I made a pair of underwear. Yep. I made panties - yeah, I don't really like that word. Don't know why, just don't. Going back to undies, yes that's better. I turned the bodice of the Simplicity dress into bottom covers. The whole idea just cracks me up. It was easy and as home sewn as they look (and no, you won't be seeing me model them - I promise!) they're better looking than the ones I sacrificed for the cause. I think I'll make a few more out of some cheap stuff and then break out some silk I have. I will need some nicer lace/elastic. The package from Hancock's just won't go for silk. But it did fine for a knit scrap.
And my Fabric.com order came yesterday, got washed yesterday and ironed today. I plan to start cutting quilt #2 tomorrow. I got a little distracted with the undies construction.

Yes, I've now gone places I never thought I'd go. And I like it in the strange dark place. It has pretty colors, no fitting issues and it's warm and soft. Maybe I'll buy the Jalie panty (ack! that word again!) pattern. I joined Friend of PR (finally) so I can get the discount and won't have to wait on customs and shipping. Oh, yeah. I'm going to need counseling.

And one more picture from Saturday. She got to touch the Capital Building. And don't you just LURVE the purse!? It's bigger than she is.

    What a sweet picture!! Undies, panties, whatever you call them, I can't imagine making any. On second thought maybe I should. None of mine are comfortable!!

    You poor darling! I think you are well on the road to recovery. Don't think I don't know exactly how you feel. My last fiasco cost me dearly (mentally). I didn't talk about it at all, but all the symptoms were still there. Maybe making a pair of panties (oops) would be good therapy after I mess up next time.

    Great save! And love the photo. Her profile looks just like W to me.

    I'm thinking of making undies from the old company shirts, think they'd go for that? HA. K

    I made pan---uh--undies--years ago when Stretch and Sew was a big thing. I loved them. And, it was fun,using all the laces and decorating them. Lingerie sewing --I may have to get back into that.

    I've gone to the dark side, too. Maybe further than you! I'm making bras now. Used to do pants (undies) :) and will probably have to do so again so that I'll have matching sets. I can give you some nice elastic sites. Enabling Central, that's me!

    Isn't it a latent thrifty gene exhibiting itself? What else are you supposed to do with knit scraps - as someone who has a 10 year old daughter wearing wearing silk jersey knickers,I think making your own lingerie is rather indulgent and luxurious.
