Along with all the seersucker and Easter pieces I’m shipping to my customers, I’ve got 2 other projects on the cutting table right now.
1. Pants for the boy. He hates zippers. But…he’s almost 8! For his birthday, I’ve decided to make 2 pair of slacks with a fake fly front and an elastic waistband. I’m making a (hopefully wearable) muslin out of a random piece of gray. If it works well, then I’ll make a second pair out of a pale-blue/gray pinstripe.
2. A dress for the girl. She doesn’t often get excited about fabric at the store, so when she does I grab it. This piece is crazy!
There is so much going on in this one piece of fabric. Neither one of us liked the border of the fabric, so I kept that in mind when looking for a pattern. I choose Simpilicity 1815. It’s a cute little sundress and I’ve cut it so that the pleated top will be mostly pink, changing to white at the waist and then the hem will feature large pink/orange/black print.
That’s what’s on my cutting table. What projects are you working on?
Soon to be on my cutting table: two GA costumes and curtains & pillows for our living room remodel. 🙂 I want to do some skirts and dresses for us ladies in the house but need to find the time. Also wanted to let you know that your posts are not showing up in my reader anymore. You may have changed something where you’re not using google reader but wanted to let you know in case you didn’t. 🙂
