I have been sewing....really!

I really have been sewing, but not posting. It takes a lot of time to do both!! This is the top Butterick 4817, that I finished early July.


The rest of July I've been working on my Stitch and Flip Jacket class. I'm almost finished, just the tacking of the facing and the hem is left. Here is what it looks like now.



I'm taking another class on PR and it starts tomorrow. It is the Build a Better Blouse Class. I'm going to be using Kwik Sew 2849 .

While I'm preping the pattern for that class, I'm going to start work on my Talbot's top knock off. I found this top at Talbots and then found a pattern just like it!! The Talbot's top is on the right and the pattern photos are on the left. Doesn't it look just like it?

I also added something else to my sewing room! I went to visit my daughter in Orlando last weekend and I went to IKEA and bought an Alex chest. It now houses my ironing press instead of that large table.
