Right now I feel like I'm in the middle of way too many projects...thats the way it usually goes. Too many trips for supplies, too many ideas, too many patterns and how-to-guides. I bring it upon myself though; I wouldn't have it any other way. My plan for the weekend is to get as many of these projects as I can done. First of which is this super cute wrap skirt like the ones popular in the 70's. I used to buy them from thrift stores and they always had the little strawberries or kites or something like that on them. I decided to make my own with the help from 2 patterns. I know this makes things more complicated but I was determined to have it reversible so I had to end up using 2. I used a red cotton floral fabric and denim...kinda like 2 skirts in one! I look forward to getting some wear out of it.
I'm always looking at the new crafting/sewing books that come into the store (B&N) whenever I get the chance. Before Christmas, we got this really cool book in called 'SEW:Sew Everything Workshop'. I didn't pick it up until a few days ago and I'm really glad I did. Not only is the author Diana really cute and knowledgeable but she provides us with 10! pull out patterns like the kind you have to buy separately for at least $6 a piece. At something like $25 for a book and patterns, I think that is the bees knees.
