Finally Something To Show!!

Well, here it is.....................the first finished project to show you. This shirt was made from McCalls M5929. I loved the fabric on the pattern envelope so much I made my own out of the same plaid. I think it turned out great!! I love the ruffles and sleeves. It looks great with jeans as well as a skirt. It's short sleeve, but living in Texas, I'm able to wear it most of the year.

I have so many projects going on in my sewing room right at the moment. It's hard for me to decide where to start..............I'm working on a dress (Simplicity 2568), a vest (Simplicity 2862), Christmas gifts, cards, etc. And after reading a few blogs that have reviewed the book Design - It - Yourself Clothes, by Cal Patch, I'm anxious to start designing my own patterns. That may have to wait until after Christmas. I have to say, that book is FABULOUS!!!! I read it like a novel and it reads just like a good friend talking you through it! I'm so happy I found it and look forward to putting it to good use.

Well, that's it for now. Back to the sewing!!!
