fabric shopping

If you are in the Dallas area, I highly suggest Golden D'or Fabrics. I *heart* this place. It is huge and a little unorganized, but the prices are ah-mae-zing. Check 'em out!

moving right along

Since the husband is working out of town and I need him here to finish his shirt, that project is being put on the back burner for something else.

And that something else is a dress for my oldest. I was cruising through Half Price Books when I noticed a basket full of old sewing patterns. The one that caught my eye was Style Kids 2814. For $1.98, I couldn't pass that up!

I took her with me to the fabric store so she could pick out her own fabric... peach with green, turquoise and white flowers. It should be so pretty!

an awesome book

One of the books Peter (of Male Patterned Boldness fame) recommends is Shirtmaking by David Page Coffin. After reading it from cover to cover twice, I would also recommend this book to anyone interested in shirt construction.
