Thanks goodness it's Friday. So what do everyone have plan this weekend? My weekend will content a bit of reading and sewing. Tomorrow Project Runway will be have a little marathorn of a couple of the old shows so that will inspire me to get my sewing on. I have been behind on a bit of sewing since I been reading up a storm late. But, I decided to throw my book down long enough to finally finish my capelet with belt. This is my first time doing a capelet so bare with me. It worked out great liked how it turned out. I also have to confess I am not a green wearing type of gal just never could get into wearing green but, I gave this fabric a shoot. I wanted to change up my colors a bit but, I did keep in on a dark green so it would look a little black in the dark so I couldn't give up my dark colors way to much lol. But, here go my capelet and belt pattern is by McCall 5764 Front Close up on front Back Back again Pattern Review: Pattern Description: MISSES’ ANDWOMEN’S CAPELETS AN...

Well this pass week I have been really busy kids doctors appointments my doctors appointments been back and forth between Milwaukee, WI and Green Bay, WI so been busy on and off. I did start on one sewing project it's a Capelet M5764 Tanya made this same capelet on her blog. Sorry Tanya I was going to do it in denim but, changed my mind at the last minute decided to do something else with that denim I have. I always do that sometimes. But, so far this is what I have done. Really not that much. I got the back and front pieces done have to add the belt with the belt hoops and the collar then I am done. I also been a bad gal keep buying more and more fabric and patterns. I just can't pass up good deals when I see them. I get the fabric and have plans on what to do with them but, yet to get it cut out crazy huh. Also since I been sitting in doctors office most of this week I decided to read to pass time. I got more books from friends, family and my sweetheart. As you can see below...

I also got some patterns of all kinds. My plan this spring is to start sewing alot more and hopefully sell a few things from time to time. Thinking about jackets ranging from size 12 and up. First have to get more a couple of dressforms sometime this month. But, here is a few fabrics and patterns my sweetheart got for me after batting my eyes and saying you know you want to get it for me lol. Ok also I made me a few hats for myself a Newsboy (Women) hat and a cap.
