This is a long process as I first copy all pattern pieces on to parchment paper. This means I don't have to cut into my patterns just in case I'm making the wrong sizes. I have to transfer all the markings on to my parchment pieces and then use them to cut out the fabric. At the end of the process, the sewing room looks like it's been through a windstorm. I have all my cut pieces of fabric hanging from the railings and my patterns and copies are strewn over my sewing table. It took me another hour or so to organize the pieces and get everything back into it's proper envelope.

5K still eludes me. I was at 4.75K yesterday so shouldn't have a problem getting to 5K this week. I've been getting a bit of ankle and knee pain afterwards and have been icing them, hopefully I won't have to stop my program to let them rest. They're just niggling little pains so I don't think it's anything serious.
Survivor disappointed me this week. My favourite, Rob, is gone. I'm switching my bets to J.T. on the heroes team now. I still can't stand Russell and hope I don't have to look at him for too many more weeks. Amazing Race was excellent as usual and I was sorry to see Steve and Allie gone. I liked them. I actually like all of the teams that are left this time. Malaysia looked nice and it was surprising to me to find out how multicultural it is. I did a bit of googling after the show and it's apparently a predominantly Muslim country. My knowledge of world geography and social studies is very poor. I've decided that after each episode of The Amazing Race, I'm going to google the countries they spent time in and find out a little about them. I have to admit, I would fail miserably if asked to find most of these countries on a map.
