Small Update

This will be a boring, no-photo post. Sorry. I just wanted to post *something* before another week flies by.

I have been sewing. In fact, I gave myself the afternoon off today for my birthday to sew. Unfortunately, I ended up not sewing very much. But last weekend, I cut another pair of Hot Patterns Marrakesh pants in brown linen. And while I was at it, I also cut another Sunshine top in a bright rayon knit print. The pants are nearly done. I just have to sew down the mostly-completed waistband and then hem them. The Sunshine top will go together in a couple of hours.

There will probably not be much sewing tomorrow. We're all going to the Renaissance fair as a family outing to celebrate the March birthdays (DS#1, me, DS#1's girlfriend). I had wanted to wear my new clothes but since they're not finished yet, I'll go with Plan B. Which is the original Marrakesh pants and Sunshine top. LOL!

Speaking of Hot Patterns, I caved on one of the just-released patterns and bought the Weekender Summer in the City Shirt. I already love shoulder/yoke gathers and those puffy short sleeves were the icing on the cake. While I was there, I also tossed a BoHo-De-Luxe Peasant Top into the cart. It was my birthday after all, so Happy Birthday To Me. :-) (And Belinda, it's a good thing you can't hear ME sing either!)
