Even better

Turns out that the New Look pattern that I want is available on the Simplicity website as a printable pattern. So I don't need to worry about trying to find it in the States and can get started on making this dress earlier. I want it for a wedding I am attending on July 1st.

The baby quilts just need binding, which I am hoping to get done today. The shawl is coming along nicely too. The first cream stripe and the first maroon stripe are both done now. Circular needles are interesting. Sometimes I get a little confused about which way I should be knitting. I would like to make up the dress this weekend and have it done early next week. Then I can get started on my new corset mock-ups (which I think I have a cunning plan for) and maybe a new pair of shorts.

Oh right that's nice to know about the woman who makes them.

Oh I've been eyeing off both those patterns myself too! I'm sure I need a suit! I'm absolutely positively sure! Honest! (I'll melt in it but I want it anyway :-P)

Gosh they're gorgeous! The shorts you made I mean. And look just adorable on you. Nice!!!

I especially like the red topstitiching. I'm going to make myself some denim trousers soon and I might pinch the red idea. I don't mind orange but I think the red is much better :-D

Maybe if you made the suit in a nice linen, it wouldn't be terribly hot?

Thanks! Different coloured top-stitching is fun!

I've been thinking about something like that. And make it so it doesn't need anything underneath. Shorter sleeves too. One day...!

It is!
