patterns

Today was all about making patterns or receiving patterns.  

I bought this little dress for wearing on the beach in Florida.  We were so ready to get out of town we forgot a few things.  We also did not know how much time we were going to spend where.  We picked up a few beach things at a local surf shop.  This dress was a find.  Years ago I had something similar from Target and I really liked it.  I actually went back to see if they had any other prints that I might like and they really did not.  I did find lovely remnants at one of our local fabric stores that are big enough to make this dress.  I took the pattern off of it and I am getting ready to make it.

I am also waiting for patterns in the mail.  This corset is one.  I have other things coming.  So much fun!  But the federal holiday did not help much. 

This week is about preparing for the Small Mister's birthday.  It is going to be interesting.
