I have been making heaps of skirts this year. Last few years it was shorts and pants. A tiered skirt can look awesome and is pretty easy to do.

I haven't worked out the perfect system yet. Sometimes i cut out, sew, overlock and finish - whch is good, but i don't think it is very time efficient when i have a big list of things i want to get done. Other times, i cut out lots in one session, and then try to sew more than one thing at a time - time efficient, but sometimes then i have a heap of things half done and it takes awhile to get back to them.

My sewing machine is in the lounge atm. I have a sewing room, but it is too messy for DS to play in, and if the kids are asleep (you can always hope) the sewing room is too close and it might wake them up. I will be moving my sewing stuff soon, combining sewing room and spare room, so that we DS can have a room or move him in with DD and then have a playroom. I am looking forward to it.

I have made a heap of santa sacks for christmas. thiking i might start to make some present bags, and do away with wrapping paper forever! Just have reusable bags in different sizes and designs.
