I also love the beginning of the month because the fabric clock turns over and I can purchase my 8.33 yards of fabric...though to be truthful I got a little more than that! *LOL* However, several pieces are in the washer right now...going through the prewash process so that they will be ready to go when called upon.
It has been a long week at work...next week will be worse...and right now I'm tired...dead tired...so I'm gonna curl up in bed (cause the apt is empty - yeah!!) and read my new Threads!
Finally ~ a sneak peek because I realize that I haven't shown anything but a detail here and there...don't get excited or disappointed...it will look better than this...the best details are yet to come!
More later...
This suit will look very chic. You said the fabric is green/beige stripe. What color top and accessories will you wear with it?
ReplyDeleteI know the feeling. Long week this week, my Threads came today too! I'm crawling into bed with a glass of wine and Bill Maher on the tube, doubt I'll last through either one of them. Your suit is looking good so far...Can't wait to see the rest, but take your time. Rest up, chill out, we'll be here... K
ReplyDeleteThe suit looks good - I'm willing to bet it will be even better when it is on you. I wish I could shake the too tired and achy back syndrome that is around here this week. I watched a sewing dvd on the heating pad this afternoon trying to at least accomplish something. Enjoy your rest and the new threads. mssewcrazy
ReplyDeleteOooh, I love the piping at the collar!
ReplyDeleteI too love the piping at the collar! I love the new Threads. Hope your weekend revives you. g
ReplyDeleteThe suit looks good so far. Put me in the "love the piping" column.
ReplyDeletePut me in the love the piping column, too. I'm going back over your blog for trim ideas and I don't know of a better source. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteMe too! I love to use piping. It gives such a finished look to things. I know the dead tired feeling. I have it more and more the older I get!!
ReplyDeleteThe suit looks gorgeous so far and I know that those last details will just elevate it to perfection. You are so good at those special details. I love the piping on the collar.
ReplyDeleteI like what I see of the suit, already! All of your details are TDF and special. I must admit my day/week was an easy one; Dh is in DC so no responsibilities. But I still curled up in my chair to read my Threads last night. I always enjoy my sewing mags. Will enjoy waiting on the final take of your ensemble; they are always a treat!
