The polyester prototype is complete came out pretty well; I will make some adjustment for the silk. I like the box pleats on the front of the top. I thought they, the box pleats, would add weight and make me look larger., but it is very figure flattering.

Still Week 2

Well, I've been had wonderful plans for this fabric. The brown is polyester and the multi-print is 100% silk. Now to get busy.

Week 2

Well, I did sew last week, but not an item of clothing.  This week I plan on making two Burdastyle 8/2010 top 141. One in polyester and one in 100% silk. Well see how this week turns out.

6 Week 1 Sewing Challenge - Burp Clothes for future parents of a baby girl! I made two types: One is flannel on both side; and they other type has flannel on one side and terry-cloth on the other.

This week's project was really a pleasure to make for a couple who have been trying to have children for years. They are super excited about their future with a child in it. I thought an special gift for a special blessing was necessary. I asked new mother was was a really good unique gift to give. She showed me a birth clothe that a person gave to her. Right up my alley unique and very useful.

I am not really eloquent with words or anything. But I am going to really try to update this blog once a week with a project a week. I want to sew an entire wardrobe for myself this year and make useful, touching, handmade gift to friends.

All that being said...... I am starting with a baby shower gift. Burping clothes. Will post photos later.
