My new project...




My new project for Julezee is Simplicity 2994. A cute halter with ruffle skirt. There are about 500 pattern pieces and I think I'm going to go crazy sewing them all , plus three ruffles and I'm not too good at ruffles. We're doing it in all blue and white. I bought the pattern and the fabric late last summer and never got around to sewing it, but I was surprised that I had it all cut out when I opened up the pattern envelope last night. So far, I've cut out all the pieces and sewed the shoulder ties. That's it. There are too many pieces. But, I hope to get into it more this afternoon when we return from small group.
I also bought a Collars pattern yesterday at Stitcher's Playhouse with some beautiful white fabric, pink piping, and pink satin ribbons--I think the material and pattern and all the stuff to go with it is only going to cost me about $15.00--you can't go to Wal-Mart for that. It's going to be beautiful for Easter, or maybe just a fabulous summer dress. I plan on putting her monogram on the front yoke in light pink--another use for the embroidery machine E got me last year for my birthday.
