I have to gush a little bit more about Weekend Sewing and show you the projects I plan on working on ...
The Smocked Sundress Heather demo'd on Saturday:
The Everything Tote (oh the possibilities ...) :
The Flower Girl Dress:
Huck Finn Pants (perfect for summer time and potty training ...):
I can't wait to craft these babies up and definitely recommend this treasure to any sewists out there who are looking for a new and exciting book. Happy Sewing!
This Saturday Spool held a small demonstration by the author of Weekend Sewing, Heather Ross.
Let me tell you, not only is the woman mad talented but she's funny to boot! We had such a fun time and even got her to sign our books - yay! She really had us laughing the whole time and really made me want to try my hand at making the child's smocked dress from her book. I bought some of her fabric while I was there and will post my finished in the next few weeks.
Seriously, there are so many projects in this book to choose from that I may even take a stab at making something for myself! It's something I've shied away from since I either hate or love how clothes look on me. No happy medium here, so it's a big deal and something I'm going to give a try.
Of course I forgot to take pictures of Heather demo'ing the dress (doh!) but I'll post a link as soon as Spool's has theirs up. They didn't forget - God bless them :)
