IT WAS ALL IN A DAY'S WORK...

...or should I say a day's pleasure!  I have been having so much fun y'all.  Rather than daydreaming about sewing, I spent the entire day doing just that.  Want to see the results of my day's work???  I just know you do...


First up:
You know that I flipped when I first saw the picture of this free offering  from Colette Patterns.com - the Sorbetto Tank Top. 

 I've seen lots of them made up around the sewing blog universe.  It's described as:

"the simple tank is quick to make, with no closures to sew and a loose, swingy fit inspired by the easy elegance of the early 60's."  

That description fit me to a tee and I knew I had to have one. I printed off the pattern thinking I'd get to it someday.   I just didn't know just how soon someday would be.


So I made up not one...

But two...

Mmmmmm, maybe I need to do a third in a solid color.  I'll think about that tomorrow.  I also made this cute little vest from that gloriously soft $13.00 (which I got at 1/2 price of course) knit from Joann's.  This is from Simplicity 2283.  The shoulder seam and back neckband was a little tricky but I made it work.

I'm pretty pleased with today's accomplishments, but tomorrow is yet another day...



Happy sewing y'all!
