This printed cotton sateen is a recent addition to my stash. I picked it up thinking that it would make a cute sailor's dress.
As quickly as it was added to my stash, it left. This gorgeous printed sateen fabric will now be used for a new navy dress for Mama R. How can you say no to your Mom? You just can't. Especially when she expresses such good taste in fabric. It will make a lovely dress for her. As for a sailor's dress for moi, I do have a solid navy sateen in my stash.
In other sewing news, I have in my hot little hands McCall's 8943. It is a vintage 1997 pattern.
This is a shirt pattern that I've been searching for the longest time. It has french cuffs! I found it over at Etsy.com and it arrived this week to my absolute delight.
And I think I have made a decision.
These are the items that I will use to make my Chanel-esque jacket. An orange jacket with orange lining and blue trim.
I have a few things to clear off the sewing table as soon as I stop coughing up my lungs. It has been a rough week away from the sewing machine. How I miss that soothing hum from the sewing machine. In the meantime, I've been watching Claire Shaeffer's DVD The Couture Cardigan Jacket.
Until then, Happy Sewing!
Your Mum does indeed have good taste ~ this fabric is gorgeous! Hope you are feeling better soon and back behind the machine ... J
