Whoops - it's February!

Life has been a blur of Christmas, camping, work, another week off for my brothers' wedding and then work again this week.  Thankfully the cafe across the road from work has reopened and have graciously rekindled my caffeine habit.  Quite liking them actually - way better than the previous cafe/tenants! 
But no sewing... well limited anyway.  I've made this dress

Version B obviously... I made it late last year in a merino and loved it, then got inspired post my trip to Auckland with some new fabric and remade a summer version.  This one is quite sheer, so needs a slip underneath - and it works well.  What I DO have to do though is cut my sizing down.  I've decided I have body dysmorphia as I consistently make items in a size too big for me.  It's cool and comfortable, but really.... could be a size smaller.

This weekend I want to refashion a t-shirt of my hubby's.  I found a tutorial on another blog site http://www.dana-made-it.com/2008/07/warhol-dress-pattern.html  and you end up with a pattern and tutorial for this wee dress. It's gorgeous!  (Actually I won't link the picture as it wasn't mine to begin with and I feel slightly dodgy about doing that).  standby for the finished product!  :)

Sewing class begins next Monday... what to make?  I've added to my stash following my trip to Auckland, but kind of feel like there's nothing there that I want to make!  Hmm... might have to make some gorgeous cushions instead - at least I'll get practice at putting in those invisible zips!  :)
