My State Fair entry

Ok - not yet.... I belong to two sewing groups. American Sewers Guild and Pattern Testers. My husband likes to call them my Sewing Militant groups.

The guild had their meeting this past Saturday morning and I've gotten inspired to get something started again! Then at the Pattern Testers meeting last night, the women decided that each of us will make something from 3 of the designing companies that we like. This group only does patterns that are NOT the big four pattern companies, like Simplicity, McCalls, Butterick and Vogue. I think I've settled on this outfit from The Sewing Workshop. If it turns out well, I'll also model it for the fair fashion show.

I love the casual style of both the top and pants. Someone in my group has made the pants several times and loves the calf to ankle darts in them. I didn't even see that detail until she pointed it out. So I'm not sure if that will work for my height. I'm 5'11". We'll have to see.

At the ASG meeting, we measured each others for pants patterns, so this will work right into that. I'm kind of excited to mess up the dining room table again!
