Hello, Friends! I am back from vacation and things should be getting back to normal around here. I am dealing with a bit of system shock as I went from swimming in the Caribbean to shoveling snow in less than 24 hours time.
Just before I left my StyleArc patterns arrived, and I was not able to make them before leaving. I will be sewing them up soon though, and posting about them. There is a pair of jeans and a pair of shorts in these patterns. I feel like that moves me in to new territory with my sewing, but I am all for it.
While on vacation I saw a woman wearing a red and white striped shirt in the style of the Bronte Top from Jennifer Lauren. It was red with thin white stripes, and very nautical feeling. I became obsessed with this poor woman's shirt, and now I will have to be making myself one. I am thinking that I will use this fabric from fabric.com:
This is a great Stretch Rayon Bamboo Jersey Knit in maroon and off-white. I think it would work great for a Bronte. I noticed while looking for this fabric that fabric.com has gotten a lot of great stripe fabrics in. Just when I thought I was done with stripes, I find myself drooling over more.
We celebrated my birthday while on vacation, and since I sewed quite a few items back in January (though I didn't blog many of them) I am going to allow myself a bit of fabric indulgence. I am in a Spring sewing mood, so I can't wait to get some new goodies in to sew!
One last bit of vacation recap...can anyone tell me if there is a universal law that as soon as you put on a newly made t-shirt while on vacation you will drip chocolate sauce on to said shirt? I wish I could say that it only happened once!

Happy belated birthday! Like the stripes. I am looking forward to your take on Style Arc patterns.. Hope we get some better weather soon too. Xx
ReplyDeleteThanks! So far what I am seeing of Style Arc I am liking, but only time will tell. This weather is for the birds!!!
DeleteHappy belated birthday! The red/white striped Bronte sounds amazing! I might have to steal that so we can be top twins again. ;)
