Projects in the Works

I know I'd usually have a Project Tuesday lined up for today, but I've got a lot of half-starts instead! On the weekend, I scored several yards of fabric at St. Vincent de Paul, and I'm using some yellow gingham to make this Butterick pattern (on sale for $1 at Joanns), which is very similar to Burda's Anda.  I hope to have it finished and up on the blog soon! Did you make it, or Anda? Leave me a comment and let me know how it went!

I know that I've said I don't do patterns, but since I've got my dress form (and since I'm hoping to spend most of the warm summer wearing dresses), I figured I'd give it ago. I thought this "one-hour pattern" would be a good trial run!

On other notes, the semester's getting really busy, with lots of homework and projects coming up. Lots of non-homework craft/sewing projects, though, including a couple more dresses, are on my to-do list for when things settle down! I'm looking forward to getting outside today, too. Sunny with a high of 54 sounds great.
