Today is off to a frustrating start so far. The weather was beautiful for driving the
trailers today and I was actually enjoying the trip to the next town. That all ended though when one of the trucks
in our convoy ran out of gas. I didn’t
have enough space to fully get off the road so that left me blocking traffic…up
a hill and around a corner. Not a pretty
picture. But we got out of the way, no
accidents occurred and someone thankfully delivered some gas to get that truck to
the next town. Once there, I let the dog out to get some exercise. He played and ran and had himself a great
time. Heading back to the truck, though,
he ran past me and his collar caught on my skirt. He ended up ripping a huge chunk of fabric from
my skirt along the bottom ruffle.
Thankfully this is a bargain skirt from Old Navy and not one
of my handmade pieces. I’m trying to
decide now if the fabric is going to be sturdy enough to try to repair the skirt
or if I should just call this little disaster a wash and make a completely new
skirt on my own. Repairing wouldn’t be
too difficult. I just need a new piece of trim and to add a small seam along
the vertical tear. I’m more concerned
about the light weight fabric than about the structure of the repairs. I think I will probably end up doing a
combination of the two. Repairing this
one and utilizing the skirt as a pattern for a new hand made one. I am making a couple new skirts and a
sundress for my sister this week anyway, so adding some of my own new clothing
to my sewing to-do list shouldn’t be a problem.
After this frustrating day, I could use a little time to do some sewing
for myself.
