neeexxxt....

I've been digging around, trying to find a project. I'm out of sorts this week. I have the blahs...


So I'm thinking an easy, comfy (yet stylish, snap!) garment is due for a run. Like this Hotpattterns, the Classic Nouveau Uptown/Downtown Knit Dress.


I have a soft, soft green beefy knit, a gift from the fabulous Julia, that will be perfect! I think a little mindless tracing is just what the sewing doctor ordered to brighten my week.

And a song on my playlist right now...

    Oooo, that linen/cotton knit would be fabulous in that pattern! I am so glad it is going to get used.

    Speaking of green, what ever happened to that vintage skirt you gave us a preview of. It was in a green and white floral with a lapped metal zip and lots of gathers...
    That one looked sooo cute, I'd love to see it finished

    Just make sure the fabric you use for the neckline has a lot of stretch! I made this thinking my fabric would work and it did NOT! I had to rip it out and make it longer and then it gaped horribly! The sleeves make these funny little "poofs" too. Hopefully it'll work out better for you!

    Oh - I'm sorry you've got the blahs. That bites! I just printed that cute beach coverup from Fabric.com thinking it might make an adorable top (or new jammies). g
