Not Much of Anything

I didn't get much of anything done this weekend.  I woke up with a back ache on Saturday, so I didn't do much except vacuum and knit this weekend.  I didn't even cook until Sunday night.  JB took me out of Friday night, then again on Saturday and this morning we went out for breakfast - so much for my diet, eh?

But I did think about sewing this weekend - specifically about this dress pattern.  Patty (the Snug Bug) made an adorable version which can be seen on her blog - here - and I can't get it out of my mind. 

I love her style, I love the crazy funky clothes she wears.  She's currently working on a skirt made from a lovely cord covered with cherries.  It's most likely something I would buy if I found it.  Oh - and she has a Basset Hound!

  2. That is a super cute dress - maybe one day, I might try to make garments again. You do inspire me.

  3. Cute pattern. I like the bright border print she used for it. What fabric are you considering?

  4. Way to make me click over to a sewing blog. Add basset will click...

    Janie and I decided this weekend we're going to take a sewing class together. Both of us have machines we don't know how to use.

  5. I can't believe I'm commenting on a sewing post, but here goes.
    I did not like the picture of the dress on your blog. Not. At. All. However, I did look at Patty's blog (before I saw the Bassett thing!) and I LOVE what she did with the dress. I especially love the way it's less busy up top, and your eyes are drawn down by the print and border. That Colette person/company should use Patty for their patterns!

    P.S. You should totally make that dress.
