3/02/09 - Work/Sewing Costumes

I spent most of today working on the Site Administrator Assessment for what will soon be Marriott's new place for document sharing and team collaboration. After work, I began sewing together our costumes for the Chiditerod race this Saturday. I need 5 robes and sashes by then. My goal is to finish 1 to 1-1/2 a night. That way I'll be sure to have them all done by Saturday.

I'm not the greatest seamstress, but they don't need to perfect so I'm basically just winging it. No pattern or anything. One size fits all (except length) so should be pretty easy. Now if I could just figure out a quicker way to get the thread on the bobbin, I'll be in good shape! I found instructions on how get from the bobbin back to the spool, but not the other way around. There's got to be way, but for now - I'm winding up by hand!!
