Diving In…

March 15, 2012 | Uncategorized

Isn’t it funny, how when you have a ton of sewing you’re dying to do, life gets in the way??  Well, that’s what happened to me the last couple of weeks.  “Social Engagements”, sick kids…makes for very little sewing time.  I was absolutely DYING to dive in to my Flea Market Fancy stack.  Today, I finally got to do it!  I made a Birdie Sling purse this morning.  It went really fast, since its not my first time making this pattern.

I absolutely LOVE it!  Like, I may sleep with it tonight.  Maybe not.  These are my two favorite prints from the line.  I decided that I am going to make myself a skirt out of these two prints as well.  {Don’t worry, I won’t wear the skirt and use the bag at the same time.}

I called my LQS to ask them to hold some more yardage for me.  The scary part is, they recognized my voice.  And knew which fabric line I was going to ask for.  Scary.  I was only going to buy another yard and a half (I bought a few yards to begin with), but I decided to go ahead and buy all they had left–4 yards.   Now to find the perfect skirt pattern…suggestions??

I also got some happy mail this weekend.  Don’t you just love happy mail?  Its like Christmas!

I picked up a few fabrics from Superbuzzy…

…And I couldn’t pass up this adorable calculator!

I also got a copy of Cotton Time (and I got another issue the same day from Doe for my b-day!).  There are lots of cute projects:

Love this little cat!

I’ve decided I want to live in these pages…think my husband will mind??

I also had my first serger class this past weekend.  LIFE ALTERING, people!!  I finished an Oliver +S skirt for Liberty, and have a pair of capris to start next!  Pictures next time!

Happy stitching!
