sew what's new?

I finished my little peasant dresses!  Maybe it is wicked of me but I am useing all the fat quarters that I truely wonder why I purchased them.  At least it gets them out of my stash.   I have heard there may be a blizzard next week.  I am hoping the weather is not that bad for our trip to Illinois. Wanting to see the kids for the holidays.  Both the old ones and the young ones!! Chit chat more later,Martha.

Started working from this book now... This is an excellent book well worth the investment. The only draw back that I see is if you don't want to cut up your book you must copy pattern pieces. Not that big of a deal. I keep them in a plastic ziploc bag inside my book, when I store them. There is a great deal of variety that can be made from this book. The directions are excellent and are time saving.  Three cute little sundresses with pockets and bows in front.  Next on my list are three little peasant dresses. Chatter later, Martha

I used this pattern today and made 3 little dresses.  I really like the pattern  It is very well written and quite fast to put together. First came this one .... With orange ric rac... then came this one.... This one has a peachy pink ric rac. Last but not least is this one.... This had red ric rac.  I mention the ric rac because a friend of mine gave me a bunch of different ric rac colors because she just loves to challenge me to use it.  All that is needed on this dresses are buttons on the front as decoration.  I have started on three more from a book which I will show you tomorrow.  Chit chat later, Martha.
