Recap

3 skirts, 3 pairs of flannel pants, 1 dress, and 2 tops. That's what was sewn in 2.5 days. Part of the reason is that one of the skirts was last weeks brown corduroy that was mostly finished last weekend. It fits now and is flirty and fun, but not what I was looking for. I will attempt it again. The other 2 skirts were cut out ahead of time and put into ziplock baggies along with their thread and zippers. Same with the flannel pants. I actually had the skirts and 2 pairs of the pants finished when I finally said good night on Friday. Saturday morning, I finished the 3 pair of flannel pants before breakfast. Then I asked what I should do. I really wanted to work on a muslin of Vogue 2864 (which is now OOP) - because I think the sheath dress would be perfect for the stretch poplin border print from New York. The consensus of the group was to make the cute brown print dress. So, I worked on that the rest of Saturday and finished it before bed. This morning, I made 2 tops from the leftovers from this dress. Then I cut a new skirt pattern out of muslin. JB got home while I was unpacking the car. Everything is now unpacked and put away. I'm thinking that since I have 3 days off every week, I should just spend the evenings prepping and the weekends sewing. I'll be giving up all cooking and housework shortly. I'll let you know how that works out for me :)

  6. Wonderfully productive weekend you had, and I love that dress. The sash defines your waistline well. As for cooking and housework, well, let the pups take care of the floor, and the rest is overrated anyhow!
