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)

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.)
