As always, I had grand plans for all I would accomplish this weekend… finish hemming Cabo (and fix a minor zipper issue), sew my apron for the apron exchange, and sew a zipper pocket in the lining of my Weekender bag.� And that was just my plan for Saturday morning.� When I finished that, I would rearrange and organize the drawers and cabinets in the bathroom, and organize my closet.� If only things got done by virtue of ambition alone!

Cabo isn’t done yet.� In attempting to fix a minor zipper problem, I ended up breaking the zipper instead.� Now I need to go buy a new zipper and sew it in.� No big deal, but a setback nonetheless.

The apron, I’m happy to say, is finished!� I’m really happy with it too - it’s very 50’s/vintage looking.� I had a very hard time picking out fabric, but managed to find a pretty vintage looking print that I’m hoping my swap partner will like.� No pictures - I want to keep it a surprise for the recipient!� Unfortunately, the apron took a loooong time to sew, mostly because finishing seams with bias tape is hugely tedious.� I tried my best to keep all the stitching straight and perfect, but it is far from being perfect.� Sewing for someone else is hard!

I didn’t even get to the zipper pocket for my bag - by the time I finished the apron on Saturday, it was too late to even think about starting another project!� And the house stuff?� Ha!� That will have to wait until another weekend.

And what about Sunday?� Sunday was spent at the lake, as usual, boating, swimming, and generally trying to stay cool.� Fun, but it’s hard to stay cool when it’s 110+ and the lake water temperature is 88.7! � Is it fall yet?
