    Wide leg pants or a shift dress gets my vote. Personally I would keep it plain and simple to let the kimono do the talking. Nice to see you back but happy you had good family time. 😊 Happy Sewing. Lynne

    Hi lovely 🥰. Yes make a nice simple dress in that gorgeous pink underneath that beautiful kimono. It really is so pretty and from the best of friends.
    You are really cracking on with those Nativity scenes and marvellous idea to stabilise the legs with popsicle?! Sticks. Your word is so much better than ours 😂 We say lollipop sticks! Popsicle is way more fun 😂.
    Great to see you back in your room and yes, sometimes we want to just play with small projects and bits of fabric and not embark on huge sewing ventures. I have never done a stopover flight or any flight non direct and you really don't encourage me to 😂😂. Steve however loves them and takes them all the time to save money. When I get on a plane I just want to GET there and directly there!
    Love you loads ❤ xxx

      You are so funny - pretty sure the flights are nonstop from London! Maybe not, I'm sure some of those flights stop in New York or Iceland or any number of places, but not until you're across the pond or at least mostly. You are smart to always do a nonstop. Changing planes may break up the trip in a good way, but delays are ZERO fun. Seems like every time I fly to Charlottesville I have to connect thru Atlanta, and inevitably I'm changing my connecting flight on the fly (on my phone) because my outbound from Charlottesville was delayed. Never fails. It makes me glad I spent so many years in the travel industry and can navigate the apps fairly well.
      I love lollipop sticks! Let's use them interchangeably, we'll be the popular kids and everyone will want to be just like us. ❤️😘🤗❤️

    Pipe cleaners twisted together also work for legs. The cotton actual pipe cleaners work great.

    • @TodayinJensSewingRoom
      @TodayinJensSewingRoom  Місяць тому

      You know, they call for pipe cleaners in the top of the tree and the leaves. But for those particular things, I didn't think they were strong enough. Maybe a dowel rod this time, or a chopstick. I fiddled and fiddled with those pipe cleaners back when I made it in 1978. But twisted together - those would be great for the legs of the animals. Thanks!

    Hi, Jen! Welcome home! Love your sheep❤️ I’m back to knitting Barbie clothes. It’s so fun and will be a Christmas present for my granddaughter; a lot of sewn and knitted garments made with love.
    I read the best story today during my devotion time. God says: “he chose you,” “you are beautifully and wonderfully made,” “ beloved,” and “his child.” I loved all of these! Look up Psalm 139:14!

    Hi Jen: We all do/have done things we are not proud of. So many things in my past I am embarrassed to admit. However, God loves us and has redeemed us if we come to Him in complete humility and ask for forgiveness. I also grew up in a very dysfunctional family. We don't get to choose our family members. We can choose to forgive them for the wrongs, very hurtful words, and insults that make them feel better about themselves. Most of all, we are to pray for them. This makes your heavenly Father proud of you! This is what counts. Love the kimono top Trish gave to you. The pink fabric you have is perfect for a..... shift or tank dress to wear with it to church? That's my first thought. Whatever you make will be a great make! Dori p.s. Just got back from FL. Bought a house in Palm Bay. Will be moving in 3rd week of August. 😁

    Hello beautiful BFF! I think the dusty rose goes so well with the kimono! I think some widw leg pants would be so pretty with it. That would make such a comfortable outfit. Hlad you had fun on your trip but glad to have you back! I am interested in coming down to visit sometime in August, once James and Tootsie recover from my last week away. They were both traumatized😅. Love and miss you!❤

    The dusty pink fabric could make some lovely pants like leggins if there is enough stretch .I think thin pants, so that ruffle on the top fits nicely.

    Glad to have you back my Friday friend, I missed you. I would make a jumpsuit or cami type top with matching roomie pants... to go with the kimono top... which is lovely! Very intrigued with the stripe top on your judy....hope to see more of it soon, LOL. 😊

      Oh that striped top. Great idea, difficult to execute! It's a refashion of a thrifted top. I may have to take the whole thing apart and just start from scratch. But I love that stripe!

    The Little But of Jesus was especially anointed today. I was raised in a critical household and that’s how I see that God looks at me. I know differently but sometimes I don’t realize that’s what I’m doing right away. As a “women of a certain age”, I have realized the journey never ends. As a younger women I assumed I would get my act together and go on my merry way. Ha!

    I have had a strained relationship with God for many years. I would start out with good intentions then would mess up ,become upset with myself because my parents always reminded me that I could do nothing right. I did heal my relationship with my parents but I didn't fix my relationship with God until recently, after the death of my mother. I still mess up but I now have a better understanding that my relationship with him is most important because he will always be honest and always love me. HE has always looked out for me during those diffucult years with love and patience.
