On Saturday I didn't do much, but I did cut out three patterns - so that took a while with many internet and television breaks in between. Laying out and cutting is much easier with the big cutting table that Brenda gave me. I cut out two tops and a pair of pants. I started working on this top (you know I'm a top person...they are so quick and easy - usually) on Sunday at our sew-a-long, and finished it last night.
I love this fabric. I picked up at WalMart ($2.50) in Milledgeville. I so wish I could find this print in a knit. The pattern went together nicely, even though I actually put the bias arm facing on backwards, it still looks nifty! I will make this top again, maybe I'll get brave and try this same pattern in a knit fabric.
I'll start working on the second top tonight but, IT'S SURPRISE that I'll show you as soon as it's finished. I'll sew just a little bit and then it's off to bed cause tomorrow is HUMP DAY AGAIN!!!
Ooops, almost forgot, OMEGA at SEW HOOKED gave me this nifty award, the award for a attitude of gratitude! So I'm passing it along to ALL OF THE PEOPLE I COMMUNICATE WITH THROUGH BLOGS. Please know that I am EXTREMELY GRATEFUL FOR EACH AND EVERY ONE YOU YOU, SO PLEASE TAKE THIS AWARD THE NEXT TIME YOU VISIT MY BLOG!
Yummy... that look's so good! I would love to make something like that but I would be the only one in the family that would eat it. I have such picky eaters that are hard to cook for. It sounds like you had a great weekend! I want to come to your sewing party! :) (dreaming) It's great you are enjoying your moments. I'm lovin' your new top. I bet you look beautiful in it. Can't wait to see the surprise :)
ReplyDeleteYou made me hungry!! It sounds like so much fun to sew with friends. I've never done that. None of my friends who live near me sew. Some used to, but no more. Shame on them. Can't wait to see the surprise top. You deserve the Attitude of Gratitude award. Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteThe kabobs look so good! I'd love to have the recipe.
ReplyDeleteI love your top ! As well as the fabulous kabobs. It makes me hungry too! I love grilling out, just hate all the smoke LOL, not good for my contacts. I love to grill pineapple too, it is very good with chicken or pork. Hope you have a great Memorial Day weekend!
ReplyDeleteThat top is so cute! You're right about how great that print would be in a jersey.
ReplyDeleteThat fabric is gorgeous and if you had said so I would have never thought it wasn't knit.
ReplyDeleteI am hungry, that looks so yummy. The top is very beautiful, the fabric looks a lot like knit. Waiting eargerly for your surprise.
ReplyDeleteHi Faye. Good to hear that you guys were able to meet. I also noticed Lisa's recent post--which is great because I've been missing her. You're making me hungry! Time for my late lunch. :-)

ReplyDeleteGood food, good friends, sewing. Sounds like a great weekend. Love the top, I thought it was knit til you said otherwise.
ReplyDeleteNice print on that fabric -- I agree with other commenters that I thought it was knit when I first saw it! Sounds like a great creative weekend with yummy food and good friends. Doesn't get much better than that, does it? :)
ReplyDeleteI like that style of top and plan on making one too! Your print is very nice.

The top is lovely and I'm soooo jealous that you have Wal-Marts around you that still carry fabric. There are none with fabric around me!
