I'm back in the sewing space ready to clear off the unplanned Christmas gifts that have entered my workspace. I was all set to do Christmas baking in the cutest tea cups for the teachers I work with but plans changed. I have another Vogue 1455 dress cut out earlier this week. There was enough Indigo Wax Katagami fabric left over from this project to cut one side of the upper dress. It is a beautiful cotton so I'm thrilled I'll be able to do one side in this fabric. And I love this pattern so I'm actually looking forward to making another one. I believe this will be the seventh one I've made in various sizes.
And this evening I cut two dresses using McCall's 6875. I'm not as excited about this project. It is cute and all but looking over the instructions I think I might need to make a Bodum® of coffee before I get started.
Butterick 6285 is the pattern that has kick-started my sewing mojo. I found the pattern at my local Fabricland store, much to my delight, since this is from their Winter/Holiday collection and I feared it may not be in stock. Now, I'm all set for Gertie's sew-a-long due to start in a couple of days. And that would be why I need to clear off these little dresses from my sewing table. It looks like I have a busy weekend ahead.
How about you? Anyone else joining the wrap top sew-a-long?
Happy Sewing!
I was so tempted! I look forward to your make! That feathered fabric is gorgeous. I am still making the Jalie Eleanor jeans - sewing up two pairs. I need them for work. And then I have a Sewing Workshop jacket pattern in my line up. I also need to fit in a several Christmas presents....
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, you are busy! Jeans are in my 2015 sewing goal list, I don't know if I'll cross it off the list by year end.
