Let's get this party started!

Sometimes I wish a day had more than 24 hours. But don't we all?
I work 4 days a week. There should be some time left to do some sewing and blogging, don't ya think? But I can't seem to find that time. Most of the time at the end of a working day I'm sooo tired, I just don't feel like doing ANYTHING! I know it's the wrong attitude, but it's just the way it is.

Anyway, I'll try to kick my butt a bit more and be more productive. That's why you visit my site right? You want to see some action!

But first a question I received from Teddie on my post about my finished knit top :
What a nice top, and I love that fabric. May I ask you where you bought this? Or from which producer it comes - I'm Dutch too..

Thank you for your nice comment Teddie. The fabric is from a local store called Tricothal De Leeuwtjes . A great fabricstore. It's not as big as it used to be but there's still a great variety of fabrics (not only tricot/jersey!), notions, yarn, buttons. You name it! If you ever are in the area of the west of Noord-Brabant and you have the time, it's worth to pay a visit.
 
Now, onto the new fabric I bought for my mini-swap. I decided not to change the patterns but I changed the fabric for two of them to make it more 'spring'. And here's a full view of my plan. For those who may have followed this, I wrote 'new' to indicate where I changed the fabric: 
 
top - Burda 10/2008-119
 
   
  




Viscose-polyester. A bit thicker quality.


skirt - Burda 04/2006-103





NEW
Fine-striped bleu and white jeans











blouse - Burda 10/2008-113b








A crispy white polyester-cotton.









trousers - Burda 01/2006-107










NEW
A lovely polyester-viscose-spandex with a bit of a crinckle in it. Nice material for spring-trousers. (The band you see is in centimeters (the white and pink segments are 10 cm each). Just to give you an idea of the size of the check).

And guess what? There might even be some sewing today. I'm gonna start with the blue top. I'm so excited!! I hope I will be able to deliver in the end. That will mean I'll have 4 new outfits, YEAH !!!

Happy sewing everyone!

  3. That stripe is going to be great!! I want to get some seersucker for summer - it has been on my mind and your stripe has made me want it even more.
    I hoped to sew today, but spent more time than planned helping the boys dye Easter eggs. They had fun, so it was great. BUT, I didn't get the sewing time I wanted!!
