this white material, 
and I made this shirt!
My uncle wanted a victorian looking Santa shirt. I agreed to make it for him and you know how I procrastinate! He called this past Thursday and I said I would have it ready Monday. I am not going to tell you how long I have had this pattern and material. LOL!! He was not upset. He told me he worked better when he had a deadline too! He was thrilled when he saw his new shirt and kept saying "I love this shirt." It was perfect fit too! When looking at the pattern, the shirt I made is on the bottom right. I have not made a garment in about 10+ years and had never made button holes. Everything was a success!! He also needed a Santa sack, so I told him to bring the fabric to me and stay at the house while I made it so he could take it home with him. That is also completed.
Now, I need to get back to working in the yard, stitching, and making some clothes for myself. The yard is looking much better, but we need rain. There was some yesterday and more is called for, I hope it pours. As for stitching, I bought two new charts and found a free one on the internet. They are all fairly large projects (for me) and I am really looking forward to starting something new. I have patterns for my clothes, I bought them months ago. Mom has tons of fabric, so I will be using what is here. I need tops to wear outside that are cool and not binding for yard work and everyday at home. Once I see how they look and fit, I think I will buy some new fabrics to have more of a modern look. I also have a quilting project I want to start.
Thank you to all my readers for taking the time to stop by for a visit!
