I'm getting there...
No sewing yet, but at least this weekend I did get to spend some time planning a few projects. First of all I went on a shopping spree without even leaving my house. I had a great time shopping my stash. I decided on a few pieces & pre-washed them and picked out the patterns I'm going to use. Note to self: (get back into the habit of pre-washing my fabric as I bring it home so it's ready to go when I'm ready to sew). Here's what I came up with...
This fabric is a blue/black crinkle type shark-skin poly.
I'm making this jacket with the blue/black crinkle & the black piece of poly crepe fabric for the dress, Butterick 5147
Then I re-discovered this OOP (out of print) pattern that I made quite a few years ago
I always loved this pattern. I think I'll make three skirts, one long and the other two shorter out of these fabrics.
Well that's what I'll be working on, after this I think I look toward Spring sewing.
Happy Sewing!!

Ya, I'm Sewing!!
I'm finally sewing...I cut out a few things this weekend before running out to a family gathering. This quick & easy top was fun to put together , it's a silkie from JoAnn Fabrics that I bought last year, using Simplicity #2594. I hope to make a couple more of these this Summer. Actually in this picture it's not hemmed yet but that's all I need to do to finish it. Ya!!

Also on my cutting table ready to be sewn are this top Butterick 5138
using this material (chiffon to be lined in a solid pink poly)
and the skirt from this New Look pattern#6609 (view C also lined).
using this fabric which I think is a micro fiber,
So, we'll see how far I can get on these this weekend. I think it's time to take a few days off for some me time so I can sew. The weekends are so busy and the time goes so fast. So I feel a much needed sewing vacation coming very soon.
Happy Sewing!!
