Finished!

I finally finished up the boxers I was working on this afternoon. I was kind of lazy about getting around to the hems, but they ended up going really fast. The fly wasn't too bad. I just followed the instructions in the book and we got there okay. Jack says it is set a bit high, maybe I can figure out how to fix that on my next pair. One thing I can tell is that the next pair will not be in flannel, it was a pain in the patoot to work with, being all sticky.

Here are some photos of the finished project:

It's kind of hard to see much because of the crazy print, but they look like boxers I think.

Here's proof they include a fly and leg holes. I was going to take a picture wearing them, but I decided not to subject you to my bare legs.

Next I am going to draw out the pattern for my tie purse. Dena, the project coordinator at one of my jobs, was nice enough to give me some remnants of paper to draw my patterns on. It's an engineering and surveying firm so it's nice wide paper they print out plans on. This way I don't have to go buy pattern paper - YAY!

I also checked out the book In Stiches by Amy Butler from the library. She has some cute little projects I think I can tackle, like a Kitty Tube. Our cats will like that.

I am still waiting on receiving my oilcloth and am starting to get a bit peeved. If they mailed it out when they said they were going to it should have been here by now. I sent them an email yesterday to make sure the order had shipped and they have not gotten back to me yet. Grrr!

I was browsing some patterns at work and found a whole bunch I really liked on Hot Patterns website. I had hear of hot patterns before, but assumed they were too fashion forward and would not come in sizes large enough to accommodate by front and my rear. I went to check out their site and they have some really cute stuff and the majority of it is sized large enough to fit me! I am really excited. Once I have money again I am going to buy this pattern:

Anyways, I am off to the drawing board!
