| Simplicity 5104- OOP skirt. This was a simple sew.. Narrow waist band, elastic in back, and side zipper. I have made this a-line skirt several times. I wear them to church on Wednesday nights. Really comfortable and easy to wear. I had this fabric in my stash, a friend at church gifted me with this silk blouse. The skirt fabric is a stretch cotton |

| Two pillowcase dresses for Emily's Mission. Emily is taking dresses to a children's home close to the college, she will be attending this fall. She wants to take the dresses in early spring , so the small girls will have summer dresses. She really loves this ministry. I would like to thank Dianne from http://rememberingoz.blogspot.com/ for her kindness. She donated lots of fabric for Emily's mission, Emily and I both appreciate it so much.. My daughter in law [Gina], will help me make dresses/skirts ,etc for the mission.Please check out Dianne's blog..She sews and makes beautiful things.. Hope you each have a wonderful week, as we start a new year.. I am making a new budget, doing lots of de-cluttering and organizing. |
Oh, that is such o lovely outfit. Wish your closet was closer!! Been thinking of some print(and plain) casual sewing for myself for spring but we have 2 1/2 months of flannel and 100% wool to wear yet; my bathrobe is actually wool. Crazy? Yes, but a thrifted and ancient find I've worn for ages. Sweet Emily. How those girls will be blessed..... xxoo Deedy
