Happy Friday!

Happy Friday, everyone!!

I'm so excited it's Friday - my weeks have been super busy and I don't have a lot of time for sewing anymore :(   (super sad face)

So my plan for tonight is to sew something!

I've got some options:

New Look 6180 ~ a faux shirt dress since it doesn't button all the way down.

 If I had not seen Mimi G's version of this dress - I would not have looked at this pattern cover twice.  But her dress is gorgeous and I want one.  What can I say?  I try to emulate what I like - it won't be an exact copy so that's okay right?

Here's my fabric choice - it looks grey but it's really black eyelet.  I will line it with white batiste so that I can accessorize with various colors - yellow belt, yellow shoes/ green belt, green shoes/ red belt, red shoes- I mean wow!  so many options of color!

Here are my next two fabrics:

Colorful and bright ~ perfect for warm sunny weather!

This is a heavier knit and so pretty.  It has a nice texture.  Should this be a wrap dress or should it be B5211?  I haven't decided yet.  Opinions are welcome!!

My TNT pattern

The pattern I am planning on using for both is B5211 - I've used it before and it's a very simple dress to make.  I like using bright colorful fabrics with simple patterns.  I'm going to cut the back on the fold this time for both. I always use the version in blue - with a fabric belt. 

Now take a look at this:

This is a lovely soft printed chiffon.  This should be a long maxi skirt!

Ok - just wanted to show what I'm working with ~ I'm getting to work now! 

Happy Sewing!
