mala_14 | Sewing, but slowly

Yesterday I cut out some pockets for my Wednesday costume, marked the darts, and sewed all the darts. Today I sewed the front pieces to the side front pieces. It's not very exciting, but between the bathroom renovations that are going on at my house and the fact that it's mid-term time at school, it's still progress at least. I'd probably be a little farther along if I wasn't so lazy about changing the colour of the serger thread from white to black. There's not too much to do for this dress. Hopefully, I can get it done over the weekend and get cracking on my jacket. The weather has turned cold all of a sudden, like around freezing temperatures, and a wool jacket would be so nice to wear. (Before it gets really cold and I have to get out my "for real" winter coat.)

In other school-related news, I'm pretty ecstatic. I won an award for an essay I submitted! It was a $50 prize. I got the letter in the mail yesterday and it really made my day. :)
