The Swap Project

I apologize for the less than stellar quality of these next few photos.
Camera battery dead, can't find the charger.. have to buy new one.
so until that one arrives please bear with me...
Here is how my swap project begins....
looking a little something like this:



40 strips later...



only about a billion more triangles to cut out
...really wishing I had one of those handy dandy rotary cutters right about now...



and this is what goes on behind me while I am sewing!
Lola made a play area with rick rack and my clothes hanging bar..
such a creative little turd!



to be continued!

I Made A Dress


This weekend some very lovely lady friends of mine came for a visit.
.. and I made one of them a dress... short and sweet I know.
Thats just me. Here are some pictures.



The fabric... pretty :)



I got really caught up in the creative process so I didn't manage to take very
many pictures of what happened from start to finish.




Finished!





The pattern used was McCalls 5953 from 1961.
bringing back the 60's :)
