So after not having sewn for myself for nearly 15 years I finally made myself a dress. With some some wonderful knit fabric from Fabric Mart, my favorite fabric store, I joined their sew along. If it hadn't been for an overflowing toilet and the resulting rain in my kitchen I would have finished on time but it still got done and I love how it turned out.

Thinking about fabric
So, I am now in tax season, not yet preparing individual returns, but I am working on client payroll tax reports and generating W2s for them. It is a pretty busy time. I made those wonderful dresses for that cute missionary girl, but she had to come home early, after a week, due to health reasons. For I am truly sorry that the people of Carlsbad, CA will not get to hear her teach them the gospel in her darling southern accent, I am grateful she is back and has an open schedule so she can help watch my children so I can work. Everything works out in the end, as it is the Lord's plan, not ours.
Fabric Mart - my go to nowadays - has had a pretty good sale and some wonderful fabrics that I have purchased. They just showed up yesterday. There are some really dreamy linen fabrics. I also got on one of their daily specials, some nice herringbone woven blend in a creamy color that I am anxious to get my hands all over. I don't know quite yet what I will make, but as I sit here working on payroll tax reports, I am thinking of yummy herringbone and linen blend fabrics. :)
A blue linen anyone can love
Beeswax - Honey - Yummy Yellow Linen
Wet Sand Linen
Ah, but the CRD0101 Herringbone is sold out...
I also just tried another online store and bought this amazing
Kauai Cotton Brocade
which came yesterday. The picture totally does not do it justice! I know exactly what I want to make out of it, provided I like the fit and style of the muslin that I will sew one day. It is a Burda pattern from December 2013. I can't find the link real quick, I will have to come back and add it.
What fabric are you dreaming of? while doing something else :)
