Next up:

I'm keeping (hopefully) control of my stash and have been making things faster than I buy fabric (barely).  Big change is using amazon to buy through fabric.com, which makes it less tempting to grab 3-4 garments worth of fabric at a time.  Plus, I can buy through "smile" and support my kids' school.

Finishing: Vogue 9008 shorts, in a dark brown rayon/linen, pleated version, mid-length.  Just need to do waistband.  Love this fabric - it's Kaufman Brussel's washer linen and I'm a huge fan now.




 Next 2: McCalls 7575 in white (Kaufman Brussels, again) with plain abalone shell buttons.  Wanted a nice but boxy big shirt that still had a bust dart, but didn't want princess seams or a front yoke.  DID want a 2-part sleeve and a true yoke.  So, am trying this one out and am planning on marking but probably not sewing the waist darts.  Will probably make the band collar version, in the longer length.

 Vogue 9293, full skirt, cap sleeve version, in a combo of striped shirtings



Shirtings bought on fabric.com, same company/brand as I bought the wonderful lightweight emerald green material this spring.
