Happy hump day and What's on your workdesk Wednesday where we share via Julia's blog (link over on the right). This week my workdesk is actually my dining room table.
Hubby finally found a replacement Harrington but when it arrived the inside pocket hadnt been sewn up! It took him so long to find the waterproof version rather than returning it i decided i would fix it myself, hence the sewing machine!! I did notice the pockets were only sewn with straight stitch at the bottom so to add a bit more strength i did sew a zig zag so am hoping this lasts.
So, what's on your workdesk this Wednesday?

DeleteI also have no idea what a Harrington is, but I like the clever way you are drying your chili peppers. You are truly a great seamstress. Happy WOYWW from # 5.

ReplyDeleteGood morning! I hope to get my sewing machine out and running this week, but I'll be sewing a journal cover. LOL. I love seeing chilie's strung up to dry, but can't eat them. LOL Creative Blessings! ~Kelly #19
ReplyDeleteHi Kelly, apologies but I couldnt comment on your blog (no idea why, probably a blip), thats a LOT of kits you were sorting out! Hope it went ok. Kyla
DeleteMy hubby has had a Harrington in his wardrobe since he was a teenager (half a century ago). Well done for doing the repairs. I still have my pin cushion from Jan as well!! The chillies look super cute, a nice job for the garden. Hope you have a good week, love n hugs Cindy xx #17
ReplyDeleteI love repair work. I love chillies, too, and your's look beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWell I’m not surprised that finding a Harrington wasn’t completely plain sailing, disappointing about the pocket though. Think you did the right thing, might never have seen it agin if it had had to be returned!
ReplyDeleteLove the sight of those lovely red chilliest being strung, what a satisfying job!
