Humbug!

I confess I have nothing exciting to post. I am still (!!!) waiting on my oilcloth and can not buy any new fabric until next month when I have money again. Hopefully second work will pay me soon!

I did start cutting out my first muslin on the skirt from my Simplicity Pattern 2766. So far so good. I might get around to stitching some more on it tonight. I don't think it will be the world's most flattering skirt on me, but it's a start.

I am accumulating lots of patterns I want to work on. This is the pattern that first made me want to buy a sewing machine and get stitching:

I like the shorter version with 3/4 length sleeves. Shortly here I will have to breakdown and buy it. I think my friends will be startled when (if) they see me in it, but I love it!

Anyways, there is not much else going on. Hopefully, I'll have something exciting to post before too long.

Cheers!
