Not what I intended to sew

May is the time of graduations and wedding showers. A lot of wedding showers. Apparently now the thing is to have a theme shower - as in having-you-guests-dress-up theme. A friend of mine went to a '50's shower today. I get to attend a Princess (as in the bride wants to feel like a princess) shower Tuesday. I somehow volunteered to make the "Princess Apron" for the guest of honor. No idea how that happened. But 5 yards of tulle later we have a Princess Apron!

This is not what I had intended to do with the very little Sunday I had to myself today. I did manage to embroider the bride to be's initials on a cute polka dot apron and matching tea towels. Unfortunately the very easy two hour dress if I could find two hours is not yet done. MAYBE tomorrow evening.....

I will not be dressing up for the Princess Shower unless I can go as the Evil Stepmother. Just sayin'.

Finished projects

Yes - I know that neither of these are the fabric and/or pattern I last posted. These were much quicker projects for me to complete so they are done. The shirt dress is somewhat more complicated and so I am working on it as I have appropriate time - and patience.

Dress number 1 took about 2 hours - it's a new look pattern that was suggested on Gorgeous Fabrics for the fabric I used on the second dress. I have enough fabric left I am going to make a t-shirt that will, hopefully, be fun with black slacks or skirt.

Dress number 2 is a Burda and took about an hour. I have been wearing it with a cute brown braided belt and an orange sweater. Friday I threw on a jean jacket over it and felt pretty snappy!

Green Apples is modeling a darling sweater that is calling my name....
