Change of topic



Soo... I've been incredibly obsessed with the world of sewing and crafting lately that it seems all I do is daydream about fabrics and patterns and techniques... which is not a good thing considering I have a government paper due tonight. But because of this obsession I've decided to be one of those people that blogs about my projects. Why you ask? Because I can. Besides... I can think of a total of one person who reads this regularly (Hi Craig!), so I can do what I want ;-)

I've been browsing blogs and have discovered several projects I want to try. Like these: here, here, and here (just to name a few!). I've ordered some pretty fantastic fabric over the last several weeks( like this and this!) and a few patterns including a Japanese pattern book.

This is my current project (above): A Built by Wendy pattern that has been pretty simple so far.
I'm making the center top with a few alterations. It's about 5 inches longer and I'm adding in-seam pockets... hopefully. I'm using a yellow seersucker, since I don't absolutely LOVE the fabric, I figured it was a good start in case I messed up horribly (it's been a while since I have sewn from a pattern).

And for whatever reason, blogger isn't allowing me to place the pictures where I want, and at this point I'm too lazy to figure it out (I have a paper due in a few hours, remember!). Silly silliness.

Well.. hopefully I will finish the top-dress-tunic thing this weekend and I can show it off. To my one or two readers (which, quite frankly, is all I need!)
