**Added pics of sewing room! LOL** 24 hours and 148 *POINTS FOR THE EAST* Later ~

22 pairs of kids pants, 3 pairs of kids shorts, and one pair of mama pants. WHEW! I am tired! LOL Some of these are for Sophie, some of them for the Summer Fwap (as Sophie calls it), and some will be freebies for large orders. I know, you're probably thinking "Flannel? Now? In Summer?", but alas it was either sew it up or donate it because I don't really care for flannel. Well, that's not entirely true -- I do like it for lounge pants, we just had no need for 25 pairs of lounge pants.

One pair is missing as Sophie is wearing them!


And these are my faves ~ LWI muslin from another fwap (Allison/MaidenComfort, maybe?).


GO EAST!

I just had to add these pictures of my sewing room after the 24 hour sewing marahton. I walked in there earlier and just had to stand there and take it all in for a while. It was such a pit.

Sewing that many pairs of pants would have driven me crazy! Great job.

Actually, I really do love the paisley ones best too! Sophie decided to keep both a pair of pants and the shorts in that print!

Yk, it's so nice to see other sewing mamas who make messes. My dh is always complaining about my sewing room, he seems to think most seamstresses are neat and clean all the time, lol.

I think there is some sort of penalty for sewing sooo many lounge pants...like minus 1000 points for your team :P

My sewing room looks like yours after sewing. Seth saw your sewing room pic and said "Ughhh how do people sew with all that crud on the floor"! Referring to me also in that statement. I think he'd like me to sweep as I went along

Seth! Tell him that near the end of the project I was feeling the same way. I actually slipped on a pattern tissue at one point -- no, I'm not joking!

My dh only gets upset when, as he says, my sewing room starts spilling over into the other rooms. IOW, when scraps of thread and fabric start getting dragged around the house! bwahhaahahhaahahhaa

My sewing room looks like that right now after all the sewing I've been doing this week. eeek! It only gets to me when I step on a bobbin and break it or get so much stuff tangled around the wheels to my chair that I can't roll anymore.

Great job making so many pairs of lounge pants! (now you can stop )
