Hobbies and interests of Carly Gooch
Tonight my band had our practice rehearsal at the cathedral before our concert on Saturday. This meant I had to take my music gear with me to work. This bag contains laptop, charger, mouse, portable hard drive, music, flute, notepad, jumper along with the normal stuff.
I put some photos of the rehearsal up in the band gallery
Congratulations to Carlin and Chris on the birth of a healthy baby boy on Wednesday morning.
I am sitting in bed with the laptop reading emails, forums, family and friends blogs and comics this morning, I found the above as the new xkcd comic. However in my defence today, I have been up already, showered/dressed, started the cloths washing and done the left over washing up.
I’ve been busy all afternoon and having a great time. These are today’s creations
I’ve been teaching myself how to applique. The crab was my own creation, the sheep came from the fabric I made sammy’s original sleep suit out of.
All but the denim nappy have gussets and take 8 layers of bamboo. 4 in the inside and 4 in the pocket. I was impressed my sewing machine easily made it through the 4 layers of bamboo with a layer of fleece on top.
This is my attempt two at a shirt for sammy. Many cotton shirts have a collar stand (think that is what it is called) whereas the pattern didn’t. I made up one for this shirt.
There is no puckering and everything sits as it should and the arms and seams are inline so I’m happy with the effort. While it has a lot of improvements on the last one and I have learnt more again, it still is far from perfect.
