Simple Shift

Recently finished a dress made to shake things up while doing the #@!%! quilt.

I was inspired by a dress in this book from Books Kinokuniya in New York, as well as a dress I made about 3 times in college.


Here it is laid out - pretty much a simple T-shape:

Quilt-tastic!

 The first ever queen-size quilt I've tried. Squares finished & finding their placement (above).
 Squares now together, sandwiching all the layers begins (above). 

Attempting to shove the beast through my regular machine. 
Found out what a 'long-arm' machine is for. (below)
It's still in process - nearing completion!

Catching Up!

Here are a few items to catch up (more on the way....):

Pink cotton lawn blouse - some gathering in the front & swishy-fab all around! From one of my Japanese pattern books. Finished in the early Spring & have been wearing ever since!

And here's finally a finished product begun about 5 years ago!

The dress began in 2009!!! Here's the post: A Sweet Frock To Start With.
