Thank you, Sunshine! I get it now. These are like the ones the waitresses wore at a restaurant we went to in Florida. I see what you mean about rayon draping so nicely. I am going to get myself a couple yards of a rayon and make myself one. I wish I had checked before heading out to Scranton yesterday. Now I have to wait for next trip to that area as I live rural and we have no fabric source around here other than cottons and a few choices at Walmart. Thank you for your posts and pictures. It made all the difference. I am not able to "see" with just words at times. :-)
i liked your blog. I tried to get on the other day, and it would not let me. Today it worked out fine. Thank you. I feel reinspired to be more creative with my needle and sewing machine. I happen to enjoy sewing, quilting and hand embroidery. My daughter spins and knits (I only knit scarves, really simple.) I feel like I can connect with you. My daughter heads off to high school. She has been homeschooled until now, and I am looking forward to more time to create again. I still have my son home and he starts homeschooling this year as he is almost 6. How do you fit sewing in with your family life?

My family is so use to me doing hand work it doesn't bother them. I carry something everywhere I go. I go to a family get together I take hand work we have a long drive,doctor visit, I always keep 1 bag of something small in my purse to do incase I get stuck somewhere with nothing to do. That is why I normally have hand made lace to trade with people because that is typically what I carry with me once I memorize the pattern. If the pattern is to hard to memmorize I photocopy it and laminate it and cary that with my project. Sewing travels well too. The very first item on my blog the mini quit you can see it here too was a project I did this way.
I hope you have fun with a little more time. I am starting to get a little more time currently I am trying to start a business from home. This is so I can still be with my kids and bring more income into our home.
have a lovely day and may God bless you and keep you safe

Sunshine, your answers explain a lot I've been wondering, too. Your eight year old takes better pictures than I do.
Blessings,
Ann

So what were you wondering. Did you have other questions. Be very happy to answer them for you if I can. Some of her pictures where a little fuzzy on the blow up that is because she doesn't know to hold her breath right before a photo. But they will serve their purpose well enough.

Selling antique laces that are framed teaching people how to make lace and repairing vintage lace, doing consinment work where people tell me what to make.
In time I want to buy an old victorian in Provo ( that is a little ways off. But we plane to buy some sort of old victorian make the top floor a class room middle two floors a textile museum and the bottom floor a boutique for selling local artisans work.
For now it is what ever I can do. I am trying to get a deal with a company that is building a 20 mil dollar building to hang work on the walls. I want to sell about 10 - 20 works or more if possible to them at about 2-3 thousand a piece not sure if this will happen just pie in the sky dreams at the moment.
update
I went back and posted a picture of a pillow case skirt on the previous page that I made.
