the blue blog archives: sew new

New sewing project alert! I've cut out the pattern pieces and pinned them out for two summer projects from the new stash.

I realized I had enough of the purple striped fabric to make a skirt (one that will perfectly match my purple tank and the Phildar top when I make it). I still really liked the simple lines of the pattern I'd originally planned to use with the striped fabric, so I decided to use it with flowery fabric, which is my favorite from the new stash.

In old news I finished up the last of the curtains. I love the way the light glows when it comes through these curtains. The living room finally has that nice home-y feel that curtains always bring.

I love the stripy curtains Alison, they look great. And I love the new banner etc - very posh (and very blue, how fitting!)

WooHoo! I can SEE you! Finally. Nice curtains and I love the fabric you've picked out for your latest projects. (When I lived in an apt., I used to use sheets -- pretty ones but on sale, of course -- for my curtains. They were already hemmed, all I had to do was sew a pocket at the top for the rod to go through. You wouldn't believe the compliments I used to get. No one could believe they were supposed to be for the bed. *lol*)

P.S. Great tagline! (I just noticed, haven't had my coffee yet.) I also love the font you've picked.
