I've been working my new job for a couple of weeks now, and I like it well enough. :) This friday and saturday my boss was away for the weekend, and I had two days looking after the shop all alone for the first time. It went well, even if I had to call my boss about eight times or so on friday! I have to admit that it made me a bit embarrassed, but she thankfully did not mind at all. I did not need to call her at all on saturday, so that was good. I'm still able to learn!

I spent the two days mending and altering various pieces of clothing. Mostly trousers that needed to be made either shorther or longer. But I also got to work on a pretty two layer summer dress in white chiffon with a flower print on it. I turned it from a slightly fraying floor-lenght dress into a neat knee-lenght number. The customer picked it up on saturday, and was satisfied with the result. :)

I've also been sewing a lot more on my own as well. Right now I'm waiting for an order I made for some zippers, so I can finish a dress and a t-shirt. After that I plan to make a pair of fall-front trousers out of a gray and white striped fabric. I have allready ordered some buttons I will use for the project. :) And today my mother found some silk from China she got from my uncle and aunt many years ago, and wondered if I was interested in having it and making something out of it! I plan to use it for a dress with a simple cut. The facric has a very bold pattern, so it will look best if the dress is not too complicated.

I've also fallen a bit in love with velvet lately. I will have to make some clothing in velvet in the furure. :) I think I also might end up ordering some of the pretty things in velvet i found on the Zaful online shop. ;)
