Today's topic is: <em>goals, dreams, & aspirations. </em>Aside from being able to decide what's for dinner every night (default: quesadillas. Guess how often we eat those guys?) (You may or may not have nailed it with "at least three times a week." I'll never tell), I have fairly simple aspirations.  </div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"><em>1. Fess up - if you could do anything professionally what would it be? </em>I've always had a dream of being a librarian. But lately I wish I had a natural knack for interior design. What a dream job that would be.<br /><br /><em></em></div><div align="center"><em>2. What draws you to this? </em>Beautiful spaces are inspiring to me, and I'd love to be able to actually create those. Combining and balancing color, texture, pattern, layout...it's all so awesome when done right.</div><div align="center"><em>3. When did you first start dreaming about this ideal? </em>Maybe a year or two ago. But...I think I've gone off the wrong track in answering these questions again. That's a dream of something I would love to do but don't necessarily have the talent/ability to do it. So. Wee clarification.</div><div align="center"><em>4. What's holding you back from going all in? </em>Oh, let's see: my shortage of taste, vision, ability, and skill, just to name a few. And, when I'm not basking in the view of beautiful spaces, really, being a mom is my #1 thing. And, bonus, I can be "successful" in momhood even if my house looks like a pigsty or is a throwback to the 90s or is a one-room-dirt-floored shack. As long as there are fresh homemade sweet rolls available on occasion. So.</div><div align="center"><br /><em>5. Sometimes the first step is the hardest... what's one step you can take now on the way to realizing your dream?</em> I enjoy home design blogs and magazines and books. I enjoy fiddling around in the building I'm lucky enough to call home. And I can bake sweet rolls while doing it. I think I'm probably living my dream.</div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center">Happy Friday!</div><div align="center"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Want this look?

stripes, glorious stripes

<div style="text-align: center;">Not to be all throw-myself-in-front-of-the-bandwagon-so-that-it-slows-down-enough-for-me-to-jump-on or anything, but...I love stripes in fashion. Loooooove them. They're neutral(ish), bold, interesting, mixable, flattering, whimsical, and sophisticated all rolled into one. And the last time THAT has been achieved was when my older sister made herself a long cardigan out of brightly-colored newspaper-print jersey knit in 1988. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">She was the cat's meow, people.

How to hem denim & keep the factory edge

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Hey guys. So, some of you have asked how I hemmed my <a href="http://adayinlifetoo.blogspot.com/2011/08/does-this-skirt-make-me-look-domestic.html" target="blank">denim skirt</a> by myself while keeping the factory-edge look. I've got bad news and good news for you. The good news: I'm not a great seamstress but it still wasn't hard! The bad news: I have nothing to hem right now, so for me to show you how I did it, you'll have to make do with the pics of the finished product.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Basically, you can do this to any garment in which the original hemline is as wide as or wider than the new hemline. As in, it won't work with skinnies or tapered anything. Here's how:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">First, figure out how long/short you want the denim garment. Measure it. Measure it again. Make sure, then once you're sure, cut it. Then head on down to the original hem (where the factory-edging resides) and cut it about a 1/2" up from the original edge seam. This will give you something to sew on that's not 18 layers thick. See the photo below.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj23v3kt2jK5OVtGRwRGY3ygSzAQAzUyVO1GWf3A66bJEZb41dZ5LT1CToKGRkmGpMwGRi-U-dOPNR2nkFPGsQg9dqoTiuv2v26MQBF0XnQwl3bFpNqvBhcBxpXPIOq34J1UFWZt3uyiRzt/s1600/hem_1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" qaa="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj23v3kt2jK5OVtGRwRGY3ygSzAQAzUyVO1GWf3A66bJEZb41dZ5LT1CToKGRkmGpMwGRi-U-dOPNR2nkFPGsQg9dqoTiuv2v26MQBF0XnQwl3bFpNqvBhcBxpXPIOq34J1UFWZt3uyiRzt/s640/hem_1.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> Then pin the cut-off factory hem to the cut-off garment, right sides together and cut edges together. Here's a tip, though: depending on the garment you're doing, you'll want to match up any perpendicular seams first. For example, my skirt has a seam going all the way down the front-middle, so I lined up that seam as best as I could first, then pinned outward toward the back of the skirt. See photo below.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwtcaT5K5hcx8H5qvnC8KEQBywDfo6IRf0YX_thiz_WX3LUlF_FkWCfTE6c7xEI8iNLbKz8OGL20MrqjGOEhBLv80jMiugn1XxAnBZNnG89hTeRydEgAkcW1CQJJlYapUSea2OFhCJFLjN/s1600/hem_5.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" qaa="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwtcaT5K5hcx8H5qvnC8KEQBywDfo6IRf0YX_thiz_WX3LUlF_FkWCfTE6c7xEI8iNLbKz8OGL20MrqjGOEhBLv80jMiugn1XxAnBZNnG89hTeRydEgAkcW1CQJJlYapUSea2OFhCJFLjN/s640/hem_5.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">In the case of my skirt, because it originally was a slight A-line, the factory-hem piece was longer (horizontally) than the new hemline. After lining up the front seam and the back edges (where the skirt slit is), I then determined where the side seams needed to be and took in/shortened the cut factory-hem piece there. Does that make sense? As in, because there's a side seam anyway, that's where I adjusted all the pieces so they were exactly the same length and all the factory seams could then line up when I sewed them together.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">[Editor's note: You guys, I just realized, I'm terrible at explaining things. Sorry if this is muddled. But now you know how my husband feels, and he's stuck with me forevah, so you guys really don't have it so bad. In fact, I redact my apology to you all.] [Assistant Editor's note: Not sure if "redact" is actually a word...]</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">So. Now we've cut everything, lined up the seams, taken things in if necessary, and pinned them (right sides together). Next, you just sew a straight line as close to the factory hem as possible. (See below, although I labeled this spot better in the first photo.) Here, I also took the opportunity to zigzag the raw edges together to minimize fraying.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPdkryXLArI3RamCC2KN9db4AymuKwpkAF8zvVfp-badtt2xMehrAWD7GZSOTRiF4ArHPB8TEPFmxw1FmzZXTkBYhxqMeOTOU4ixcpeW2hXHo3rjo0XRiHEl8yL67QZYX_jk06rM2bYeNv/s1600/hem_3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" qaa="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPdkryXLArI3RamCC2KN9db4AymuKwpkAF8zvVfp-badtt2xMehrAWD7GZSOTRiF4ArHPB8TEPFmxw1FmzZXTkBYhxqMeOTOU4ixcpeW2hXHo3rjo0XRiHEl8yL67QZYX_jk06rM2bYeNv/s640/hem_3.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> Wah-lah. (Or "viola" if you're French.) Open up what you've sewn (as in, unfold it. <em>Not</em> rip it out...hopefully...) so that you're looking at the right sides. Iron it flat if you want or need to (I didn't). Then, to keep it flat, sew a topstitch. Ideally, you'd have a matching thread color. I didn't, so mine's chocolate brown. Surprisingly, though, it's hardly noticeable, so whatevs. See how the factory edge looks almost seamless here, even though you actually transplanted it? Magic.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbyuv5e8Jht0fK4Bt7H7pMdWNNBNrGGtlngZQuI5NTBYcV-pjR9PlBWpuxxsJXTKSifcH5ZIztN-J0x-dRRbt_dScoMhkpOSuXao-UlldEgLa31-uf18HIrR8zGXnAvV7-9lg26aJ4Ra9o/s1600/hem_2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" qaa="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbyuv5e8Jht0fK4Bt7H7pMdWNNBNrGGtlngZQuI5NTBYcV-pjR9PlBWpuxxsJXTKSifcH5ZIztN-J0x-dRRbt_dScoMhkpOSuXao-UlldEgLa31-uf18HIrR8zGXnAvV7-9lg26aJ4Ra9o/s400/hem_2.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> Maybe it looks obvious in these ultra-close-ups, but I promise...this is a great way to keep that professional-looking factory edge after you've done a home-grown hem job.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsNcirT7TMLB45gNnbLUIfHxa7Ttr68C2ypsUYB8srvVmxWKRSRvPIqOaz-8hf3WcfFQECBfSm0L8UDMhql_rGmeX8juvz7G-XhC_BODd3PETCkM581Of93blvuvalJ-0T1ZNTq2FHRy2m/s1600/hem_4.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" qaa="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsNcirT7TMLB45gNnbLUIfHxa7Ttr68C2ypsUYB8srvVmxWKRSRvPIqOaz-8hf3WcfFQECBfSm0L8UDMhql_rGmeX8juvz7G-XhC_BODd3PETCkM581Of93blvuvalJ-0T1ZNTq2FHRy2m/s640/hem_4.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div align="center">If you're not convinced, check out how <a href="http://adayinlifetoo.blogspot.com/search/label/knee-length%20denim%20skirt">this skirt</a> looks in "real life."
