Well-Suited for the Mother of the Bride

Done! Whew!

Pressed and ready to wear--Mrs. Dinky is holding it for me.

Every MoB needs a little matching purse in which to store her tissues because she will cry when her baby gets married.

Hi, Seestor -

It's bee-u-ti-ful! You'd better be careful - you just might upstage the bride! :-)

See you SOON!!!!!!!!!

I So Want to Sew

The pattern is cut out and pressed, the cutting mat is laid out on the table, and pre-washed fabric calls out to me. What is missing? TIME, that's what! And if there's a little time to be had there has been NO ENERGY left to git 'r done. But things are picking up and I hope to have 4 dark blue knit work shirts made this weekend for dh. I just bought him a coupla pair of olive green 'Big Daddy Cargo Pants' at Penneys. Finding work pants for Dh that fit, are comfortable and don't rip the first day on the job has been an adventure. These pants look great on him and they are stretch twill! Yay! I had picked up some black and brick-colored knit collars at The Place That Sells Sewing Machines but now I have olive-colored pants...what to do? Here's what: I'm going to try and find matching olive knit or woven material to use on the work shirt placket and (maybe) collar! How coordinated he will be! Oddly, dh doesn't seem as excited about this as I am....

Sock Monkey Tutorial

Still got sock-monkeys on my mind. I found a step-by-step picture tutorial to make them. I would embroider the eyes so they'd be safe for the little ones.

Print Fabric Possibility

Print fabrics are hard for me. I'm afraid they look busy and accenuate curves that are plenty accentuated without any extra help. But since my wardrobe plan calls for a print I've been looking around and I found this one at Vogue Fabrics . It has black, gray, charcoal, pink and purple. I could sure work with it. It's priced right, too--56" wide @ $6.99/yd.
