La de da – it’s spring. And I’m finally thinking of sewing again (yes, my sewjo has run away for several months).
After weeks of cruising the internet, here’s what I’ve planned:
I ventured again in the world outside the Big 4 and purchased the Fibre Mood Tilda dress. Having sewn the Ermine blouse and the Rya shacket, I am so happy with the designs, drafting, instruction sets, and support from Fibre Mood. Any trepidation is offset by huge photo galleries and reviews from other sewists – which I love as a reference.
I think this is a subtle pattern. Sewn as a blouse it very closely resembles the more expensive Friday Pattern Company Patina Blouse. As a dress, it has lots of options. Here’s how I envision my first version, no collar, cap sleeve:
And how could I move into spring and summer without a couple maxi dresses. I’m using a favorite, McCall 6559, in two ity fabrics.
Meanwhile, I’m staying out of trouble by working on my latest jigsaw puzzle!
For now – Coco

I’m so happy to know that you have your sewing mojo back. Your choices of style and fabric are inspirational.

I can’t wait to see you new makes. And it looks like you are going about completing that jigsaw puzzle in the correct way (piece by piece!).

Thank you! Yes, after many puzzles I’ve learned to do the large focal point pieces first. Keeps my sweater cuffs from pushing pieces on the floor as I reach!!
