They have arrived!

The Colette Patterns are here! And perfect timing too!


It is 32 degrees C, that converts to 90 degrees F, or just plain hot with a humidex advisory thrown into the mix. Perfect weather to be enjoying the backyard pool... oh wait, I was dreaming there. No backyard pool and I don't know how to swim.

Next best thing, enjoy the air conditioning and some sewing time until it cools off a bit. And there is so much sewing to get done. Two skirts in que, the McCall's hat, and now the Colette Patterns, a cute wrap dress and back buttoned blouse.

I have to say that I am very impressed with the packaging of the Colette Patterns. First, it comes with all the sizes from 0 to 18. Sweetness since I fall in between sizes. And the pattern instructions are contained in a booklet form and the pages are seamed together. Wow, this is going to make for some easy access reading on the patio once it cools off a bit.
