Happy Fat Tuesday! I have made my first fabric purchase of 2011 to celebrate!
Have you seen that Liesel of Oliver + S has now come out with patterns for women called Lisette? They are part of Simplicity's new line of patterns. I just love her children's patterns and am excited to give these a try for some spring clothes Plus, she has also designed a line of fabrics for clothing for Joann's! I picked up two lawn fabrics, which are so soft and lovely. I also picked up a chambray, which I have never tried before, to make some shorts for the girls.
I also have a new nephew! Yay! I now have a reason to cut into this stack of Castle Peeps!
I am cutting back on my internet time for Lent after reading this inspiring post by a lovely Catholic mama. Love her blog! She always inspires me to be a better mother! However, I am sure I will still be popping in here and there!
Wow, I didn't know about those Lisette patterns! I think the Simplicity patterns are on sale at Joann right now? I might have to stop on my way home tonight and get them, they're all lovely. :-) Thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Fat Tuesday to you too! Thanks for the tip on the Lisette patterns -- I'll be heading to Joann's...
ReplyDeleteI had no idea that Liesel was designing patterns for women now. I have to check them out. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited about Liesel's line of adult clothing. I love her children's patterns. I'll be picking these up ASAP.
ReplyDeleteOh, I hadn't heard about the Lisette patterns! This just might be the kick I needed to try sewing some clothing for myself!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the Lisette patterns you sew. The fabric is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteher patterns look beautiful! I've never made any clothes though, so I am a little intimidated!
ReplyDeleteHi, Meg! I just wanted to let you know about a sew along that Chris over at Pickup Some Creativity and I are organizing for the Portfolio dress pattern.
