Birthday Fun and a Completed Shirt

Darren celebrated his birthday at home, at Benihana's of Tokyo in San Francisco and at the San Francisco Zoo. His presents were time with family and friends, and tickets to an Eagles' concert. Here are pictures to make you feel like you were there: Happy 44th Birthday Darren

On the sewing front, the work shirt is finished and I'm on to a coupla muslins of shirts for me. I have some stretch poplin florals on the way and I want to re-fit the Petite Plus shapely shirt. I'm so tired of putting on shirts that hang down the back of my neck and that won't close at the hips.

Lastly, a t-shirt for the pregnant daughter will be started as soon as I can corral her for some measurements and a pattern fitting.

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!

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....

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.
