Two weeks without sewing...

...is too long. Seriously. I blame school work.

Sewing:
Today I finally had a day to sew. I did everything I could to get ahead of schedule in my classes so I could have a couple of days without school stuff on my mind. Working in between thunderstorms, I made a simple shirt out of one of those polyester silky prints that were originally meant to become sleeveless shells. I have to wait until tomorrow to get pictures of it on me, but here's a sneak peek on the dressform:

I had debated using a white cotton shirting that's been patiently waiting in the stash but the 6-PAC already turned into a 9-PAC so I didn't want to make it any worse.

Getting away from the daily grind, just the two of us and miles of driving.

Beautiful photo of you with the love of your life!
Your Georgie looks great as well.

I love your hyacinth fabric. You really have incredible taste when it comes to picking out patterns and materials.
