Sleepy/sloppy weekends

Is it just me or do everyone have their anti-social phases once in a while? It was the perfect hit this gloomy/cold weekend, a very much needed hibernation to disconnect from the rest of the world for a little bit. I stayed in bed from Friday night till 8am on Sunday (I'm pretty sure my legs supported me standing up for less than 2 hours throughout this session...), when my back started to ache and I could sleep no more. Ahhh. Very satisfying indeed.

Now that I finally had the guts to detach my hip from the bed I've scooted over to the desk and happily turned on my sewing machine. Hemmed my new scarf (what an AMAZING leopard print) and shortened this thrifted high-waist (fantastic) tribal-printed skirt which I scored for HKD30. *thumbs up!*

In progress... and

End product :)

Hmm I'm looking for movies to watch in order to spend the rest of my weekend in peace. The Lincoln Lawyer followed by a re-watch of the Valley of the Wind (a Miyazaki anime, which was also my childhood favourite) perhaps?!

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!

Sewing question!

Not sure if you can see the details clearly but does anyone know if I straight stitch the end of chiffon-esque fabric do I get the minimal fray effect like the scarf captured below (focus on the bottom of the photo)?
