Stash Expansion
February 06, 2007
While I was away some goodies came in the mail.
This pile is from Superbuzzy. I couldn't resist these sweet floral stripes (obviously) - they scream summer dresses for the girls. And the pears? Well, they are green and I have a thing for green.
Lots of Denyse Schmidt Flea Market Fancy and some Alexander Henry prints - these came in the box from Purl Patchwork. I like pink, too, you know. As if you didn't guess...
An update on my jacket....thanks to all your encouragement and tips (you guys rock!), I managed to do the bust adjustment. I added 3 inches to the length of the jacket also. Something happened to the sleeves, though, so I am still working on those. My instructor fitted it and we are adding to the hips and more to the length. Muslin version number 2 is finished and hopefully by Monday, version 3 will be done and will not need any more adjustments. I feel like the little engine...I think I can, I think I can, I think I can....
I'm totally drooling over your fabrics. I'm having fabric withdrawl! I think it's time I cheat on my diet ;-)
Good luck on that jacket, yes you CAN!

Oh, wow - those are the SWEETEST fabrics. They will make adorable dresses, I'm sure. I'm so impressed with you and this jacket. I would have thrown in the towel back at version number 1. I know you can, I know you can!

I love all the fabrics. The pear fabric from SupperBuzzy has been calling my name for a while, so far I have resisted. However, seeing how lovely it looks in your stash I might just have to order some!

I bought some of those pears, too -- my first superbuzzy order.
Jackets have always seemed like the ultimate in difficulty. That and pants. Good luck with finishing the jacket!
