    sewing summer clothes.

    What a fun project! This is what I need, "dead line" so I can move my butt from computer and create something.

    Working on the Stefi Jacket

    What fun! Not sure how far off the original I will be but this will just be fun for the newbies to play along with.

    yayaya! I'm so excited! And mom's visiting so maybe I can get some new fabrics (instead of dismantling old stuff from my infamous box under the bed!!)!

    I actually printed this pattern for my friend last week but she lives out of town so I'm not able to take measurements and buy fabric right now. Maybe if I go visit her soon I can get it done in time.
