Prep Work

I'm preparing for another sewing weekend.  I am using patterns from Simple Modern Sewing and The Stylish Dress Book.  I realized I am altering all of the patterns I chose at least a little.  I can't leave well enough alone, lets hope that works out for me. 



I have a pair of linen pants for me and I think I will gather them at the ankle harem style.



I have a dress I am losing the collar and sleeves on.  Using a fabric I've had around a while and been really hoping to use.  I finally got brave enough to cut it.



I have a shirt that I can't decide whether to make into a dress last up for cutting.  All the others are cut and bagged.  I still need to buy a few items like thread and elastic.  All these items are pretty simple.  I am using binding instead of facing in most cases and only the dress has some things to it that are new ideas. 



I have great hope (as you can see.)  I also am bringing the finished quilt top from Anjali's quilt and I'm hoping to get that together too.  See? Ambitious!



May the baby sleep and smile on us all!
