Bad Blogger

Wow I've been neglecting you lately my little bloggy blog. I promise that with the start of next week I will post something. I've been caught up with a new job and school and well life and a billion other excuses that don't mean too much. Also, I got me the food poisoning last week from chicken salad. Blargh. I'll be back to share though, and you better believe that neat things are in store. Here's where I'm going and what I will be seeing next week:

So What? Sew Aprons ... That's What!

I just finished yet another apron. I thought I would take some pictures of my first embroidery prject too. The Mad Cow Apron. I actually went to the pottery place and made a coffee mug to go with the Mad Cow Apron. Then I got to thinking that maybe some of my aprons should hang ot and get their pitures taken together (as though aprons can take on human characteristics and just hang out).

Working on a New Dress

I started work on a new dress. The pattern was free from BurdaStyle. There aren't any instructions and it really isn't true to Burda size, but I like it. I have to rework the back bodice. This is what I have so far.

That's Right, There Still is Free Stuff

That's right, the wonderful folks at Burda Style still let their patrons upload their own patterns! For those of you who are looking to get into sewing they have novice patterns, and for the "old salts" out there they have difficult patterns as well. Oh my, who can believe that soem thigns are still free. Definately check them out.

OPB Sew- along Week 2

I've just finished week 2 of the sew- along. This means that I've cut out my pattern,
marked my pleats, and ironed the interfacing onto two of my pieces. I've also included the cut out pattern from week one since I neglected to post that. I'm not cutting up the blue material until I am certain I like this skirt and if I don't feel like making a dirndl dress.
