Sock progress

I have no idea why this is underlining!

Anyway, did a few more rows on the socks. They're coming along nicely. I love how this yarn stripes so evenly.

Okay, now I'm getting underline and boldface. Can't seem to turn either one off.

I was going to show you a picture of me wearing my finished jacket, but it really does need a belt and I look fat in the picture, anyway. So I'll post it when I actually have a completed outfit to show. But it's ready to wear when it gets warmer. Not too long...it is 57 degrees here today!

BTW, do you like my St. Pat's pillow case? I just slipped it over a pillow that has cardinals on it. I also made an Easter one that will go on next month. Why buy pillow forms when you've got pillows you'd just throw into the attic, anyway?

The white jacket again

Here's the white jacket with the trimming all done. As you can see, I only did the binding up to the princess seam. The rest of the hem is topstitched in a fancy stitch that also covers the raw edge inside.

I still have to do the sleeve hems, but this is mostly done. I might try to see if I can find a red belt for it. I think it would look nice with either blue or white jeans.

Jacket binding

Turns out I had enough of the stripe fabric to make some bias binding. Here it is pinned to the inside of the jacket. I have to head to work in a few minutes but this is the next thing I'll sew when I sit down at the machine again.
