... on my cutting table.

This is a sneak peak at today's project. I'll share the finished object after it has been delivered to it's recipient.

My sweater is progressing. I've got both sleeves finished now. I pressed everything gently and sewed the sleeves into the front and back. The collar has been picked up and is now almost halfway finished. Still a bunch of seaming after that though and I've got to make cake and vacuum tomorrow morning so I'm not certain if I'll get it finished on time or not. Cross your fingers for me.

I was looking for something to blog about this evening and it arrived in the mail.

I had a little Christmas money that I decided to spend at Purlsoho . The two patterns are by Amy Butler; they are the Barcelona Skirts pattern (with a really cute apron overlay that I can't wait to wear) and the Sophia Carry-all (which is really cute even though it isn't an apron). The three fabrics are for my Tie One On entry for February. The theme is polka dots and I really wanted some in pink and chocolate (technically I think these said they were caramel but that's close enough for me). The colours in the two solids are a little off the polka dots (it's hard to pick from internet thumbnails) but I don't think it will in anyway reduce the general cuteness of my apron.

Now I've just got to wash and press my fabric so I can start cutting it up. Whee!
