Excuse the lack of real pictures. I blame light, cold and the fact that I'm prepping to move and loosing my mind a little. (New job, new city, happening in three weeks and no apartment lined up just yet. Getting more than a little bit twitchy)
BUT THERE HAS BEEN SEWING! Stress reduction through creativity! But still, I've crapped out of getting good pictures
This dress is in progress and almost finished - Its a frakenpattern using the bodice from 1612 and the skirt from 2580 - not much difference you think - except I didn't like the gathering in the center front of 1612, so rather than modify the pattern I snatched the skirt from the other. Its coming along really well and only needs a hem.

I have a bolero made for stretch knits is in it's second muslin (but in static tulle, for my friend's wedding) (Making things for people in a fabric that the pattern was not intended for when that person is 200 miles away is somewhat trying) (happily it has only two seams)

The perfect shrug pattern on burda style |
A baby's dress is going to be made with cotton and lace for a christening next month. However, the baby keeps growing. I have measurements, but I'm going to put in some serious ease. Babies are unreliable.

S2457 (view A, but with a lace overskirt and no tucks) |
and my boyfriend has requested this, in lime seersucker for the end of June. (Have I mentioned the now *7* weddings of the summer? the poor man needs something other than wool.)
