Happy Halloween

Happy Haunting for the few bloggers still reading my boring blog. We had a GREAT halloween and went to a really fun party on Saturday night. It's always a blast getting into the spirit of things and dressing up. The last two years our costumes have been the bomb-diggity, if I don't say so myself. This year was not quite up to my usual standards but I did sew them myself (for the most part) so I still feel as cool. It's always interesting when people ask me what I do for a living now and I say that I sew competitive swimsuits. But I LOVE it and is has greatly improved my other sewing skills. For my costume, I had to sew my first shirt and now I shall be attempting some other projects that I've had in mind the last couple years but was too scared to try. Let me just say, the only reason I'm sewing at all is because I have the RIGHT equipment. You may think you're cool and all because you have a domestic sewing machine like a chump. I used to think that too because I have, what I like to call, a "civilian" machine and a serger as well. However, now I have access to the real deal--6 commercial machines that kick your domestic machine's butts. The difference between the machines is unreal. It's like the difference between Kraft Macaroni and Cheese and the Walmart nasty cheese brand. YOU CAN TELL THE DIFFERENCE. Anyhow, that's enough nerdy sewing talk. Here are some pics because that's all you want anyways.
