Time flies by so easily...so much has happened in the past year I've been "away". Can I put my finger on any big event? No, thankfully, all the things that take up the space in my head and days are normal, everyday things. A full life is a blessing....I am well blessed :o).
Recently, I was looking through my pattern binder and realized that I've gotten a lot of sewing done in the past year. Some projects were successful, some not so much. I've drafted a post for each project. As the details are filled in and photos are taken, they'll appear. They won't be inthe order sewn, more the order of which garment comes to hand first and gets ironed! Ironing is not my favorite pastime.

Long Time No See...
How does an entire month go by as quickly as a shooting star in the night sky? So much has happened since last we visited...my DH and I went to Key West, then a short visit to my parents, camping at Solomon's Island, MD, and a civil wedding in a DC park..busy weekends.
Some sewing happened in the past month as well...just not a lot of it. I traced off a few Burda patterns, made a blouse from a New Look pattern, made a few muslins as well. Just not many finished products...focus, focus, focus. I have completed a few re-fashions recently...
New Look 6803, view , completed - review to follow.

June Burda
Last year I decided to take the plunge with the Burda World of Fashion magazine. It's a wonderful magazine and I look forward to each issue but have yet to make anything from one. I haven't been this excited about a Burda since the first one I recieved back in May 2008. This month's Burda has a ton of exciting patterns in it. The ones I plan on making are...
