I have been slowly cleaning and reorganizing my sewing area in the bat cave of my basement. I am surprised to find that I have many unfinished objects. Yes UFOs. My dear hubby (DH) thinks I made this acronym up. OH NO, there are many of us with the greatest of aspirations when we enter the fabric store. I have silk, cashmere, cotton batiste, and linen that is just sitting in my dungeon. Well, some is there, some is in my bedroom tall-boy, and some is in my buffet server in the dining room. It likes to travel.
I must inventory everything I want to finish/start and then finish. Currently I'm working on a beautiful OLD Butterick pattern for my daughter's Father-Daughter Dance this upcoming weekend. It is so cute with a batteau neck, and a center panel. I am using dupioni silk cream with a sheer netting with cream floating flowers for the center panel. The rest is in dupioni bronze. Yes I know not a color you immediately think about for an 8 year old. But I had it, almost 1.5 yards and 54 inches wide. So not enough for any dress patterns I had or could find, without going skimpy on the width of the skirt or the length. The pattern is only a size 6, my dear daughter (DD) is slight of frame and measures for a size 5, but longer. So I have adjusted the pattern as best as I could. I would like to finish most of it today...but I don't have enough buttons in the right size...and we all know what that means...a trip to the fabric store...I shall not buy what I do not need.
