Right around Christmas, I bought myself 3 new patterns that I found online. Two are for tops and one is a skirt pattern.
I'm not sure how this is going to go because I'm not always great at following instructions - I mostly sew by the seat of my pants. Ha Ha.
I'm starting with the Funky Peasant Blouse pattern by Lila Tueller Designs. Wish me luck. Lots of luck.
I've been drooling over the Gypsy Bandana line by Pillow and Maxfield for Michael Miller for several weeks so that's the fabric that I'm using. I absolutely love it.
I've taken my measurements - bust, waist, and hips - and what I'm wondering is where do they get the pattern measurements? Because my body seems to be 3 different sizes. So, basically to pick which size I'm going to sew, I closed my eyes and pointed. I'll keep you posted along the way. It may take me awhile because I'm going to take my time with it and be very careful.
Today, I cut out the tissue pattern. :)
What fun project are you working on right now?
I listed a new half apron in my shop today. I love this apple print by Sandi Henderson from Michael Miller fabrics.
And I'm working on one with more Sandi Henderson/Michael Miller fabric - from the Meadow Sweet collection. It's so pretty! Can't wait to show it off!
What else is going on right now? Well, when I picked my sweet baby up from school yesterday, he had a temp of 101.9. So not only is he sick, but he infected his whole class because he's too stubborn to tell the teacher he feels bad so he can come home. Sigh.
AND, my shop has hit 199 sales! My goal was 200 by the end of the year. My sales have really picked up since I switched over from handmade jewelry to handmade aprons - and you don't hear me complaining :)
Have a great weekend everyone!
