One More Pattern...

 I do not really need any more patterns.  I have tons of patterns that I have not tried yet.  However, I love to sew for the guys in my life so I added one more pattern.  Here it is:

This is the Love Notions Dockside Henley and Polo.  You get a crew neck t-shirt, a henley t-shirt, and a polo.  All with short or long sleeves and with a pocket or without a pocket.  It seems like a pretty basic pattern that could have a lot of mileage.

Now, I am on the look out of interesting activewear fabric that is manly.  Yes, I know that many solids will work but the golf lover in my life rarely wears solids.  If you know of good sources, let me know.

Happy Stitching!

New Pattern...

 Well, I fell for another pattern.  I have been working really hard to not purchase patterns because I have so many I have not even used yet.  Here is the pattern:

This is Amarena Dress by Liesl & Co. This is a perfect hot weather dress for me and a little different styling than I have worn the last two or three years.  This pattern has a bonus and it is a cut line for a top.  For me, this could be a fit once and have four dresses and tops.

We will see how it works out.  Next year has the potential to be another lemony sort of year but I am still going to plan to sew.  It helps keep my sanity.

Happy Stitching!

Purchases, Yes More Fabric

Folks, I have more fabric than what I know what to do with but yet I purchase more.  Here is my latest purchases:

This is an Indigo Slub Stretch Denim.  It is a cotton/spandex blend with 10% stretch and 60-inches wide.  It is machine wash cold, tumble dry low.  I purchased 3 yards with the intent of making a Liesl & Co Amera Dress.  I also purchased matching thread. 

This is a Khaki 4-way stretch cotton twill.  It is a cotton/spandex blend with 30% stretch and 52-inches wide.  It is machine wash cold, and tumble dry low.  I purchased 2 yards with the intent of making the Itch to Stitch Quebec Skirt.  Hopefully, I purchased enough yardage.  I also purchased matching thread.

This is Indigo Lightweight Denim (4.4oz).  It is 100% cotton and 60-inches wide.  It is machine wash cold and tumble dry low.  I purchased 3 yards with the intent to make the Itch to Stitch Vikros Dress.  I also purchased matching thread.

I am very happy that online stores have stepped up and started offering matching thread services.  To my knowledge, there are not any local businesses carrying good thread.  Walmart has their own brand and Hobby Lobby has their own brand.  The Walmart thread I will not purchase.  I have been experimenting with the Hobby Lobby thread.  So far, it has not caused any issues with the sewing machine.

This is my first fabric purchase since July.  So, I suppose I have not done too bad this year with purchases but I have purchased more than I have sewn.
