bribery

what is a suitable reward or bribe for doing extensive hand sewing?
i need to finish both the skirt and dress...
i keep trying to convince myself that i enjoy it, which i do, once i'm actually doing it, but i think i need to face the fact that it's going to some serious bribery to get me started...
any ideas?

to busy knitting to sew

i need to schedule some sewing time.
i've hand-stitched one pocket (out of six) on the skirt
and the 50s dress needs nothing except for a whole lot of hemming.
the pending winter necessitates completing of the skirt - not only will the pockets be practical as far as putting things in (i.e. the ball of yarn i am knitting with), but they will also serve to add a little bit of extra warmth for my hips.

hand sewing

hand sewing... miles of it.
there's a certain rhythm to it though, and it is aesthetically pleasing.
i stitched the hem of the skirt this evening, and pinned the lining.

skirt

the skirt is gorgeous... all that's left to do is pinning and sewing the hems - skirt and lining - and hand sewing the patch pockets.
