Adventures in Sewing: Patterns and Fabrics and Thread - Oh, My!
The pattern I've been waiting for finally arrived in the mail Monday. Tuesday, I made a lunchtime excursion to the $2 Fabric Store. I bought four different fabrics to use for two of the dress patterns I picked up at the JoAnn's Fabrics pattern sale last Saturday. Two of the fabrics are $1-a-yard bargains, and the other two serious prints that I've been wanting for a while. I plan to use the $1 fabric for a test run before I sew up the more expensive stuff. As an example, one of the patterns I am planning to make is New Look 6242, from this fabric (my favorite of the whole lot).
Yesterday I had planned to get the Yumiko shirt cut out, but Jared and I had forgotten that we'd told John Daily that we'd meet him at the House of Blues to watch his friend sing. We missed his friend Lilly, because she was opening, but we did catch some other band, and the band Kennedy which was pretty good and played last.
At any rate, I'll write about last night over on ...or die trying!. This blog is just for projects. So, for the record, my plan is Wednesday & Thursday - Yumiko Shirt. Saturday - Saturday Trial Dress #1 - New Look 6242 in the $1-a-yard paisley. Wish me luck, I know I'll need it.
