Has it really been that long?? Yesh !

Well, now that I am in a totally different mind set and new space I am returning to the land o' blog.

Since it is Spring Vacation for me, I finally have time to sew. The latest two projects are a plaid coat and a simple dress.

I finally figured out on my own what to do about the pattern alterations on the dress. I was "monkeying" around with it last night and I figured out what to do to make it fit in the back. It's called cut out the correct size (DUH) and taper the seam for the waist!!

Now I am really happy.

Must be Spring!!

Finally I am motivated to do more sewing. The plan is to finish making a sweetheart knit top to go with a simple gored skirt out of some really remarkable paisley poly georgette.( I just can not resist anything paisley) But first I need to find some fabric for lining the skirt and of course, so ribbon to trim the hem. Otherwise the skirt pattern and the fabric were up for grabs from the last gathering of the informal sewing gathering..
The top is just about done. I guess that I have an excuse to go find the ribbon and the lining fabric. Woo hoo!! I just need to decide where I want to go..maybe Satin Moon!
