Make it and wear it - March

Image
I was afraid I was not going to get something made to wear for myself yet th is month. I had a change of plans for the weekend because not only is it Easter but it is our 24th Wedding Anniversary!! woot woot! But this morning I woke up and started on my list of things to get done. Here is a very simple Butterick top pattern # 5493. I had this lovely silky charmeuse fabric that is all springy looking.  Since I have not lost the weight I wanted, this is loose fitting and will work ..or I hope it will.   :) Next I needed to get going on my  Skill Builder BOM  blocks. I think they turned out pretty great even though I had some troubles. Quilting I will get to in April  And last but not least...  Groceries bought and Peanut Butter Pie made. :) Happy Easter Everyone!!!

WIP and ...a finish to wear!

I joined in the Linky this week with Lee at  Freshly Pieced   to keep the progress going on some small projects I have. This week I decided to try my luck with a hexi template my mom gave me and see what I could come up with. The verdict is still out but I am working with greens and black/gray and that I love! Stay tuned on that one.  Here is a Make it and Wear it Finish for the month! I cut this top out back in the fall and then set it aside when my mom passed and I hurt my back.  Now it is finished and I am really excited but...gained some weight and hope to lose it before it is nice enough out for me to wear it. :) It is Simplicity pattern 1884. Went together pretty easy and love the silky featherish fabric! Hope I can wear it soon.
