I was so excited to get this in the mail today:
I won Handmade Jane’s giveaway & landed this lovely pattern – thanks Jane!! 
I’ve got Hazel & a couple other summer pieces to do first but I’ve already got fabric earmarked for this as my first fall make:
Looking forward to a special trip downtown with my mum to shop for the perfect buttons for it as well!!
But for now I’m getting close to wrapping up the Licorice dress from the Sew Colette party – yeah, late… I know!! lol But check out my awesome sleeves:
This is my first “for-real” time doing set-in sleeves; actually knowing what I was doing, and I’m really pleased with the results! I had also made some alterations to the sleeve (which I’ll detail when the dress is finished) and I’m super happy with them – yay!!
Hopefully gonna try & finish this baby tomorrow!
Love that blue! And can’t wait to see the finished Licorice!
thanks!! better late than never eh? lol
That pattern is way super cute! I’m totally into shirt dresses right now, and this one is definitely a keeper. You say you are going to save this for some fall sewing? Well, I’m hoping to sew a shirt dress this fall as well. We will have to keep each other on track
That’s a great idea!!
I’ve been used to a sewalong keeping me in check so it’ll be nice to have some accountability for my private projects as well! Do you have a pattern picked out yet? 
I’ve got two potential patterns in my stash. One is early 50′s and the other is early 60s. I haven’t decided which one I will wear more often – maybe I will have to have you help me decide. Hubby and I are living with my parents while we keep up the house hunting – so finding sewing time and space is going to be difficult, but I’m still going to try.
I’d be happy to help!!

Awesome! I’ll check it ASAP!
