I started on the KS knit top. The knit I used was purchased in Richmond, VA at the Hancock's on Midlothian Turnpike. It met the 35% stretch requirement called for with this pattern. I did not sew as much as I wanted today. There were some necessary house cleaning projects that DH and I committed to do today. I hate housework!
I did not work on the Burda jacket yet. I am thinking that the hand sewing required can be done this evening while watching TV. I only have to hem the sleeves and sew on the buttons and it is finally complete.
I did order some fabric today from Fabric.com. Here is what I purchased, mainly knit fabrics.
All three are a poly-lycra matte jersey. The first two are aqua and chocolate. The bright one is coral with taupe bead like design.
I also purchased a wool herringbone in brown, this will become a skirt.
That's my sewing adventure for this weekend. Somewhat boring!
Wow what lovely fabric. Thanks for looking in at my blog. I'm following you with the tops.

ReplyDeleteWhy, oh why, do you keep doing this? I just love those fabrics you bought. Now I am going to have to make myself stay away from fabric.com!! You keep showing me things I MUST have!!!!
ReplyDeleteI like them all, but I think my favorite is the border print. Looking forward to seeing what they turn into!
