My new jacket

I finally made my jacket!  Man...I bought the fabric months ago, but I have the sewing bug at the moment, and was able to whip it up.  The pattern from the book I bought, Sew Serendipity, is so super cute and simple!  I love it and can't wait to make my skirt now!  Here is the blog (which I just found and I am very excited about!)

Here is me at the very beginning, working on the collar...

And then I forgot to take more pics while I was sewing.  But here is the finished piece!

Cute, right?!  

I can just tell this weekend will be full of fun crafts.  I have walked through some fun shops and the bookstore tonight and have all kinds of new ideas.  I will share what I end up with soon!

Have a great weekend!

Bye bye!

Time to dust off the ol' sewing machine!

Yesterday I was picking up a travel book for my hubby's trip to China, and made the mistake of walking by the craft book section, where I found the book Sew Serendipity...and I had to have it!

The skirts, dresses and jackets are soo great!  I am determined to make at least one of everything!  (I am sorry that the photos are not great.) I love the skirt on the cover.  It is hard to tell, but it even has a really cute little pocket, too!

Here are a few of the other patterns that I wanted to share:

A super cute tunic dress....

And how adorable is that jacket!?

And check out this Parisian jacket...any thinking Audrey Hepburn?

And this might be the first skirt to make...

Can't wait to get started!
