Kaaren HobackOH Freda! its May and you are all ready started on holiday gift making....and Im still thinking more shorts and short sleeve, sleeveless tops and a sun dress for Caes big July BD party....come November I will wish I had been more organized....
I did find the fabric for the sun dress and will ship it back to NY to make there if I dont get to it this month here.
I can now replace 3 pair of now boring OLD shorts and 2 interlock tops and I better get a move on some new summer nighties using the new pegnoir patterns that are soooooooo versatile. I also need to finish the arm,neck and legs of a new bathing suit.It's 85% done, fully lined, molded cups inserted in the lining, just needs finishing and last years favorite is a bit worn looking. Now to find that extra hr or 2.
I also want one more decent summer weight real blouse and around here 'somewhere' is some lovely Liberty of London lawn that I must find and ship home. (Some of this fabric has travelled extensively- one more trip as yardage and it comes back a garment or it packs up in stash for the next 8 months!)
Funny - the minute I leave something behind I want it to use right away.

LlantrisantThe pillows were supposed to be last christmas gifts,but I never did get around to them,gggg.Trying to get into my sewing room with puppy training is another story.
Normally I don't proscatinate on things, but those gifts I did.I have some white Lycra spandex to make some new panties for myself, next job after I do the tablecloth.
