Simplicity had a sale last week. 5 patterns for $5... Meri and I couldn't pass THAT up! I know... I know! I already have more patterns than I need for 5 bonfires... But to have a new uncut one is special. It gives you that sense of wonderment... You know it! I wonder what I will look like in this... Probably not as chesty as the model... but I could still rock this outfit!! And now since the last sewing meeting where we fit pants, I "kind of" know what I'm doing. Here's hoping!!
Meri picked out this one for herself. Maybe she and I will make it for her Easter dress. Not sure which one on the pattern she was actually interested in, but probably the navy blue.
I have actually made this one! And love it! I even wore it yesterday. It's a shorter version because I didn't have a lot of fabric on hand for it. So it's not a full tunic. But I love the neckline and 3/4 inch sleeves and cuff. SO easy to make and I even won a ribbon for it at the County Fair level. But that was kind of easy since, as you know... I was competing with myself. I'd love to make a few more of these. I would add pockets this time too.
But first things first! I've got to get a sample dress of the following for Maddy's prom dress. Sunday will be the day I think! Gotta get Leon past his birthday party...
And probably down for a nap. HIM not me! Too much to sew, so little time...

I love the patterns you choose. I never sew for myself. Never. I don't know why. I hate trying on clothing so you'd think I'd try to sew something especially for my body type. No. maybe one day.
Cool!!!
Now I want a nap too.
I would love one of those tunics...with two deep pockets, cause you have to have pockets,
One of these days I am going to sit down and teach my self how to sew from a pattern but in the mean time I will live through you
I understand the love of being the first to use a pattern ;o)
Oh I love all the patterns they are all my stye -do you need my size:)
Enjoy your weekend!
Good choices. I saw that sale, but I resisted by refusing to set food in the store. LOL!
I find that I'm drawn to a lot of the Khaliah Ali designs.
Happy Sewing!
LOVE the jacket in the top (1945) pattern!!! I could use one in blue!
