After a bit of a break, I am happy to be sewing again. I embroidered a few motifs during my trip to use in an upcoming project, 
have been doing a bit of hand sewing to create items for an upcoming Silver Bella swap,
and have been totally inspired by this new book by Kay Whitt.
You may be familiar with Kay the dress and bag patterns she creates for McCall’s. Let me just tell you that this book is fabulous. I love every single project in it and am really motivated to make myself some new clothes to wear for the fast approaching school year. I am starting today with this dress in these fabrics, and I will be sure to keep you informed as to how things progress! 
(For some reason its easier for me to make clothes for my daughter than for myself, no idea why!)
I did adapt one of the skirt patterns for another project that has been in my head for a while. Here’s a quick peek at that work in progress. 
All the fabrics, trims, and buttons used came from my trips to Germany and Austria. They have the most wonderful 100% linens in the sewing shops there!
Have a lovely and creative Wednesday, everyone!
